Matsunosuke NY, Daikanyama Tokyo

I really wanted to like this cafe but alas, things turned out differently. Located inside the Daikanyama Hillside Terrace complex, this Matsunosuke NY specialises in apple pies and pancakes; the creator even has a few recipe books under her belt.

Yet despite their cherished origins, their signature apple pie was just not very good. The wait staff informed us it would take 10 minutes to prepare the apple pie, but when it arrived, it was hardly even warm, and the apple slices within tasted like baby food apple moosh. Their New York cheesecake was at least decent but nothing to shout about as well.
