The chiffon cake with lots of seasonal fruits is a gem.

Large and fluffy sponges, plenty of fresh cream, bittersweet chocolate sauce, and beautiful fruits (orange / banana / grapefruit / blueberry / melon (2 types) / cherry etc.) will welcome you. The mint and flowers that are gently added are also cute, and the colors are so beautiful that it would be a waste to eat them.

Blueberries are from Omitama City, which is next to Ishioka City.

The sponge is said to be particular about eggs. Choose free-range chicken eggs as much as possible. Free-range chicken eggs have a crispy yolk, which is the decisive factor in the taste.

The taste seems to have a natural and gentle sweetness that spreads in the mouth. Even if I keep eating, it doesn't remain persistent. That's why I'm happy that the volume is perfect. It's fun to wonder which fruit to eat one by one.

This chiffon cake costs 450 yen. A set with coffee or iced tea made from organically grown coffee beans costs 780 yen.

I enjoyed watching it, eating it, and having fun.

It's a luxurious way to take a break with the mountains and fields and the delicious chiffon cake that you can see from the window.
