Found this small cafe after seeing all the other attractions in Matsushima. Very clean and modern in looks and feel. It has 2 four seater tables, 3 or 4 two seater tables and outdoor seating. Excellent staff who were attentive and very particular in preparing and presenting the dishes. The food was fantastic, fresh and tasty. I had the ham sandwich and chocolate dessert and my partner had the hotdog and Creme Brulee. For a drink the home made gingerale was lovely. It's near the Zuigangi Temple and slightly off the main road ( a minute or so) and we'll worth finding.

Absolutely gorgeous place - lovely decor and the food was out of this world. We ordered the sausage stew and chilli hotdog - both were delicious. The sausage was tasty and fresh, and the breads come from Aizawa bakery next door. It’s only a short walk from the main road. Do not miss it; definitely go!

Wir hatten Chocolate Tarte und Matcha Tiramisu mit Kaffee: absolut köstlich und der Kaffee war auch frisch gemahlen. Weg vom Trubel

テイクアウトオッケー。 1人で行くとカウンター席。 自家製ジンジャーエールとクロワッサンのジェラートサンドを注文。オープン時間の30分過ぎた頃には、ほぼ満席。人気店のようです 食事をして、満席なのがわかりました ジンジャーエール、すごく美味しい!すぐにのみ終えました クロワッサンジェラートサンドは、クロワッサンが、サクサク。バターが、香る。そこにあっさりとしたアイスが2つ。これも美味しい。 見た目でも楽しませる。とても良いです 店員さんの印象も大変良かったです 友人とまた行きたくなるオススメのお店です。

雰囲気よさそうで立寄りました。 おススメのカレーを頂きました。美味しく頂きましたが、濃い目が好きな私にはアッサリ過ぎた感じです。 ゆっくりしたかったのですが、店内にいたお客さんで女性二人の話し声がうるさく、こちらの会話も聞こえないくらいでした。 お店自体はわるくないのですが、体験値としては⭐-1です。
