As you step through the doors at 16-3 Kitashirakawa Kubotacho, expect to be greeted by a serene atmosphere, reminiscent of an indoor botanical garden. Lush plants and flowers not only adorn the space but also infuse the air with a refreshing lavender scent that calms the spirit.

On the menu, you’ll find a treasure trove of delights. Indulge in the Banana Chiffon Cake (¥1,380), described as a luxurious treat that embodies cloud-like fluffiness.

The staff takes utmost care in preparing it fresh upon order, ensuring that each mouthful is as indulgent as possible.
If you’re in the mood for something tangy and refreshing, the Lemon Tart with Lemon Sorbet (¥780) is a must-try. The tart’s zesty lemon slices and hints of bitterness from the peel create a delightful contrast, perfectly complemented by the refreshing lemon sorbet. It’s no wonder customers like Desy Pus find the food so visually stunning they hesitate to take their first bite!
