A wide variety of sweets are on standby, including fresh confections, kyobasan, which are perfect for souvenirs, and bonbon chocolates.

This patisserie was opened by Katsuhiro Nakano, who has been delighting guests at high-class hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto. The fresh cakes are made with ingredients selected and mixed as much as possible from the suburbs, such as domestic flour, seasonal fruits, and matcha green tea from Uji. All of the menu items are alcohol-free, so both adults and children can enjoy them together.
From the back, Mont Blanc with Japanese chestnuts (640 yen), Rouge with strawberry mousse and vanilla brûlée (600 yen), and Fromage with berry compote (640 yen) are all authentic as well as cute. The cakes are calculated to make your eyes meet when you open the box, so be sure to take one home!
