Boulangerie Viron is said to make the best baguette in all of Tokyo, even topping the
baguette master Eric Kayser!

There is also a brasserie next door, but I was saving my appetite for a big dinner - my best
meal this trip - wait for it! So I exercised self-control and stayed in this area only.

The breads at Viron are special because they are made using Retrodor flour from
Minoteries Viron in France. Viron is the only boulangerie in Japan allowed to use this.
The place was heaven for carb-lovers like me. I drooled over shelves and shelves of mouthwatering baked goods.
They sell mini cakes, cookies, sables, meringues, jams, and cookbooks, too
But I only had eyes for one thing
The Praline Croissant
Not as airy as I would have liked, but it was crisp and flaky and filled with
sweet and nutty almond praline goodness.
