I know the Azabu Juban branch of Mon Loire very well.
If you are ever in Kyoto between September and May, then the Ujicha Shoro from this store
http://www.marukyu-koyamaen.co.jp/en.../goods_08.html are incredible. Makes a Pierre Herme matcha macaron taste vile in comparison. Isn't chocolate and the tea taste is divine. It could be that there is a slightly better matcha sweet somewhere, but a better houjicha taste is completely unimaginable to me.
