A small lemon cake specialty store in Shimo Meguro, Reson D'etre Meguro Store

Located in the downtown area of Shimo Meguro in Tokyo, Reson D'etre Meguro Store is a small shop popular for its authentic lemon cakes made with lemons from Setouchi. In the interior of the store, converted from a white standalone house, baked goods including lemon cakes are lined up on the counter, and staff members in red berets greet customers.

Perfect balance of lemon's tanginess and sweetness

Though small in size, Reson D'etre's lemon cakes are characterized by their dense and moist texture. They are made using a generous amount of lemons from Setouchi, providing a perfect balance of tangy lemon and sweet icing, resulting in a refreshing flavor.

Abundant flavors and delightful as a gift

In addition to lemon, flavors like strawberry, Earl Grey, and matcha can also be enjoyed. Bite-sized mini cakes, canelé, and madeleines are also offered. Gift boxes with cute illustrations are popular, making them perfect for rewards and presents.

Although the price is slightly high, the elegant taste and Instagram-worthy packaging make it a sought-after gift in Meguro. The charm of Reson D'etre is that you can conveniently enjoy the taste of the famous baked goods from Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture. Lemon lovers should definitely give it a try.
