01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Set along the residential streets of Hokima in Tokyo's Adachi Ward, Marionet fills its display cases with Western-style pastries and baked sweets tailored to everyday teatime and major milestones alike. The chiffon cakes are an immediate standout: baked with a reservoir of fresh whipped cream in the center, they come in staples such as plain, black tea, and chocolate alongside limited seasonal releases. The plain and black tea versions are packaged in tidy paper containers that travel easily, with an airy texture and lightly sweetened cream that make them a convenient choice for taking to friends.
From Individual Slices to Special Celebrations
The cut-cake display holds plenty of variety for any mood, featuring Basque cheesecake with a deep caramelized surface, glossy chocolate-framboise slices, fruit puddings, and mont-blanc. Autumn brings items such as shine muscat grape shortcakes and fruit tarts, ensuring a shifting lineup through the calendar.
The shop's whole-cake selection is particularly comprehensive. Beyond the quintessential strawberry shortcake, customers can choose from creations like the Berry Berry decoration—layered with 3 varieties of berries—or the Classic Chocolat enveloped in a mirror-like chocolate glaze, each available across multiple sizes. Custom options include heart-shaped designs and photo-printed decorations suited for birthdays and family gatherings, scaling up to feed large celebrations.
Local Specialty Pies and Practical Details
Drawing inspiration from the historic cherry blossom trees along the Arakawa堤 embankment, the Goshikizakura pie is shaped like delicate flower petals and rooted in Adachi's local heritage. Its crisp, delicate texture and soft pink hue make it a natural pick for gifting. Boxed sets of vibrant macarons, orange pound cake, and sweet potato treats provide additional gift options. An on-site parking lot makes stopping by by car straightforward, and contactless cashless payment is supported via PayPay.
