和食で、お食事全部美味しかったです!! また行きたいと思いました! お店の中はこじんまりとしていて、落ち着いた雰囲気でよかったです。 ランチのお値段もお手頃でした! あったかいお茶を何度も入れにきてくれてありがたかったです。 会計後はとても素敵な笑顔でありがとうございましたと言ってくださり、温かい気持ちになりました! 行った時はそれほど混んでいなかったので、すぐ座れました。 とてもおすすめです!

So many different flavors to choose from and the ingredients seem to be all natural. Yummy pretty Shave Ice / Kakigori in an upstairs setting with a very turn of the century look.

かき氷が美味しいと有名なこちらへ初めて行きました。結果とても美味しかったです。 今日いただいたのは紅マドンナ。ハーフを食べましたが、ハーフがちょうど良いサイズでした。 上にアイス、上にも中にもソースにジャムに果肉に最後まで紅マドンナ堪能できました。お茶がついてくるのですが、氷で冷えてくるのですごく助かります。次は別の物をいただきに近いうちに行きたいです。

夏の暑い時期に伺いましたが、階段にも扇風機があって待ち時間がとっても助かりました。 店内は広くはないですが、一人でも入れる雰囲気で店員さんの接客態度も感じがよく、楽しみにしていたかき氷も映えるような可愛いかき氷で心が踊りましたこの夏の良き思い出になりましたね
