Little Pie Factory draws big crowds
The newly opened Little Pie Factory in Tokyo's Hiroo neighborhood (5-16-6 Minami-Azabu, Minato Ward) serves up tiny pies in all kinds of flavors from classic apple (¥380) to a savory turkey and mushroom (¥450). The turkey and mushroom variety is only available during the month of November. While the shop may have an efficient assembly line that makes sure that enough hot pies are stocked, it’s just not enough to keep up with the demand. If you go too late in the afternoon expect to join a long line up and find many of the flavors already sold out. For more information, call 03-5791-3075 or visit the shop's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/littlepiefactory.
