About this place
Beyond the delicate cakes lining its display counter, Shokoratorii Risu draws visitors with freshly baked buckwheat galettes that make for a satisfying, savory meal. The classic Galette Complète wraps savoury ham, egg, and melted cheese inside an earthy, nutty buckwheat crust, while heartier variations introduce fresh tomato, Spanish cured ham, or coarsely ground sausage. Accompaniments like chips seasoned with black truffle salt make the café just as capable a lunch stop as it is a dessert destination.
For tea time or an after-meal finish, the spotlight shifts to refined pâtisserie. A rotating daily cake set features choices such as bittersweet gâteau au chocolat paired with fresh cream, an understated Mont Blanc combining chestnut paste and whipped cream, and a bright citron chocolate cake. Sweet crêpes provide further variety, ranging from a minimalist preparation of cultured French butter and unrefined muscovado sugar to arrangements layered with strawberries and custard.
The beverage menu complements the food with drip coffee and espresso alongside textured flat whites, latte macchiatos, and Earl Grey hot tea. In addition to dine-in seating in the calm café space, galettes and crêpes are available for takeout, and PayPay is accepted for payment. Open daily from 11:00 to 20:00, the establishment fits comfortably into plans for a late lunch or a relaxed afternoon pause.
