Peko-chan's restaurant holds a lot of memories for me. I never thought I would go there, but I happened to be nearby at the time and decided to give it a try. It's great to have a place where you can quickly eat and leave when you're feeling tired. The restaurant has a parking lot and a wide variety of menu options. I ordered the Bolognese set with salad, dessert, chicken steak Japanese-style, and soup set with hamburger and grated sauce. I also picked a Hokkaido smooth cheese pie from the showcase. The taste was typical of a family restaurant. It reminded me of my part-time job at a confectionery shop in the past. I wanted to work there just to wear the uniform. Although the restaurant is quite old, I hope it gets a new renovation. The total bill was 5689 yen. Thank you for the meal.

Today, my family went to Fujiya Restaurant. It's been so long, at least 10 years, probably since my kids were little. During that time, the Peko-chan character that used to be displayed in the store is gone, and my kids have grown up, so we never went. The Fujiya Restaurant we visited after so long had Peko-chan posters and character products inside. The menu included a lunch set for adults who are kids at heart, a cake buffet, and cake sets for adults. It felt like being at a nearby Disney Resort or Universal Studios Japan, or even Sanrio Puroland. I hope this shop remains forever. By the way, they were also selling tie-in products with the movie starring Meguro Ren as Snowman.

I chose the pork ginger stir-fry from the lunch menu for 1190 yen. It was my first time at Peko-chan Restaurant, and the cake showcase reminded me of Fujiiya. The ginger stir-fry was different from what I usually see at Chinese restaurants or cafes - it came with three thick slices of pork topped with shredded ginger. The restaurant looked old, but the staff's service was exceptional, like they had been well-trained. In a good way.

I visited a nostalgic family restaurant with Peko-chan, but strangely, I couldn't see Poko-chan. The menu is quite common, with options like hamburgers, pasta, omurice, and pizza, all with original twists that make choosing exciting. Not only is there delicious cake available, which is what Fujiko is known for, but they also offer a cake buffet where you can eat as much as you want for 60 minutes. I ordered the Summer Vegetable and Red Curry Ethnic Pasta, and the Beef Stew Omurice. The pasta was thin and paired well with the red curry, allowing you to enjoy both the noodles and the sauce. The summer vegetables also complemented the sauce nicely. The Omurice came with a block of beef stew and a salad, looking delicious. My companion tried it and said both the beef stew and the omurice were satisfying. For dessert, we had shaved ice with strawberry and condensed milk, as well as matcha flavor. The portion was about 70% of what is shown in the menu photos. The strawberry had a rich syrup and fruit pieces on top. When you pour condensed milk over it, the ice quickly melts, but the flavor was rich and lacked the refreshing taste of shaved ice. The matcha flavor came with sweet potatoes and rice cakes, but unfortunately, the matcha flavor was not very prominent. While shaved ice is trendy right now, this place seems to be lacking in skill when it comes to shaving ice, so it might be better to avoid ordering it. Customers should be prepared for a family restaurant level of quality when ordering here.

I was hungry for lunch and looking for an easy parking spot when I found this place! I was able to relax and enjoy my meal. However, I couldn't resist ordering the large portion of Pescaatore on the menu. Everyone around me was eating cake, which made me laugh. I realized I shouldn't have filled up on Pescaatore. I enjoyed my meal. Thank you!

When it comes to cake buffets, it has to be Fujiya. I visited the Ibaraki store before, but this time I went to the Momoyamadai store for a cake buffet. The price of the buffet has gone up since last time, so I was worried about whether I could make up for it, but I managed to eat 7 pieces. The Italian shortcake, which is the most expensive, was the most delicious. I also tried the potato for a palate cleanser, which was a must for the buffet (lol). I went on a holiday afternoon, and there were many families with children. Thank you for the meal.

From December 26th, Reiwa 3, a "Strawberry Fair" has been held with new cakes being released gradually. I visited at the end of February in Reiwa 4 after all the cakes had been sold out. I arrived a little before opening time, and there were already a few customers waiting in their cars. At 10 o'clock, I was guided inside. The all-you-can-eat cake buffet for adults costs 1,980 yen including tax, and it is a 60-minute time limit, but I was able to get a 10-minute extension. Since I had a hearty eel bowl at "Ichibiki" the day before, this time I tried 14 cakes. Although it's a fair, not all cakes may be available at every store, so it may depend on luck to try all of them. I had multiple servings of the cakes that were part of the "Strawberry Fair". My favorite was the "Strawberry⁉︎" cake. It had an interesting appearance and the balance of acidity and sweetness was well done, making it delicious. There were several other customers besides me who also took advantage of the all-you-can-eat option since the store opened. Considering the variety of cakes and other factors, it's advantageous to choose from a wide selection if you visit right when they open. I might visit again when a new fair starts. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant to try their new items in celebration of their 111th anniversary. It is located on the elevated side of Shin-Osaka. The parking lot is spacious, making it easy to park. I arrived before the 10:00 am opening and saw a few cars already parked with customers waiting for the opening. When I entered at 10:00 am, the interior was spacious. I informed the staff that I wanted the all-you-can-eat option and was seated first. You can choose two cakes at a time, and it is a 60-minute session. The staff will take your plates, so you just need to show your all-you-can-eat ticket each time. After receiving instructions, I headed to the showcase to choose my two cakes, and then the 60 minutes started. I tried a total of 16 cakes, but the standout was the "Fruit Royale Dolce" in celebration of their 111th anniversary. The Shine Muscat, strawberries, and yellow peaches were fresh, and the Chantilly cream was rich and had a pleasant melt-in-your-mouth texture. I had three pieces because it was so delicious. The all-you-can-eat option, including the drink bar, was priced at 1,980 yen tax included, which I think is a great deal. If you want to eat to your heart's content, the all-you-can-eat option is definitely the way to go when considering the prices of individual items. The pricing allows you to eat to your heart's content without worrying about breaking the bank, which is great. I want to revisit before the prices go up, as I have experienced price increases in the past. Thank you for the meal.

In Osaka, towards the north in Toyonaka, there is a Fujiya where you can enjoy a cake buffet! And the amazing thing is that you can have the same items we buy for takeout at the buffet! They don't make smaller portions for the buffet - they are very generous. There is also a buffet location in Higashi-Osaka, and although there used to be one in Shinsaibashi, it is no longer there. The drink bar is unlimited and the variety of tea is rich. The call bell and ticket holder are cute. They serve two items on a plate each time. You can leave the plates on the table when finished eating and just take the paper to order more. The tea, maybe Earl Grey, tasted delicious. It's amazing that it's all-you-can-drink. You can really choose from here. The strawberry shortcake is delicious, as well as the Mont Blanc with plenty of fruit in between. The grapes are seedless and easy to eat, along with sweet potatoes and apples - a great combination! Even with just four slices, I was almost full as a soft eater. The apple mousse had a thin sponge at the bottom. The cheesecake had a hint of salt, making it feel like a side dish. Oh, the Halloween pumpkin tart was not included in the buffet. Lastly, we finished with apple compote, which had a nice balance of sourness and sweetness. It was delicious. I want to challenge it again and again, even though I could only manage six slices this time.

Title, many people may not understand the meaning. Here at Fujiya, you can pay with Rakuten points. It's so convenient that we end up coming here often because it's within walking distance from our home and we can use Rakuten points (Rakuten Cash). Since we had accumulated a lot of points, we decided to satisfy our sweet cravings here. I usually go for the Italian Shortcake, but this time I chose the Milk Crepe. My friend got the Chocolate Banana Parfait. It's a bit of a hassle to get your own drinks, but it's cheap and you can get refills, so it's actually quite nice. The Milk Crepe was delicious too.

When I was young, if friends were gathering in the neighborhood, it was always at this place, Fujiya. Actually, there was no other option haha. Whenever I meet up with my local friends from my teenage years, we always end up at Fujiya. This time, I met up with a friend for lunch. There are lunch sets with dessert included, but when it comes to Fujiya, the Italian Shortcake is a must. It feels like it's gotten smaller compared to before, but maybe that's just my imagination? The drinks are self-service, which is a bit of a hassle, but it's all-you-can-drink so I went for one refill.

I participated in a sweets buffet for 1980 yen including tax. It was my first visit in a while. The classic Italian shortcake was delicious, but the fruit cake was especially tasty. The fruit was plentiful and juicy. The cake itself was not too heavy, which I liked. The melon in particular was delicious. The parfait and anmitsu, which cost over 650 yen each when ordered separately, were satisfying. Overall, I felt that the food had become tastier. Thank you for the meal. I would like to go again.

Sweets buffet price adjustment - yay for price drop~♪ I went for my last meal before the previous price hike, but somehow the prices were lowered instead of raised?! And they were even lower than before, at 1,980 yen (tax included). They had a cake collaboration with Kiri, which was a limited-time offer. Since I had no plans, I decided to go last minute. There were a total of 32 cakes available for the buffet, which seemed a bit less. The website mentioned two Kiri collaboration cakes, but on that day, there was only one. First, I tried the domestic apple pie and the Amaou strawberry Mont Blanc. I secretly like the Fujiya apple pie because it doesn't have unnecessary cream, and the apple compote and raisins with a hint of cinnamon were delicious. The Amaou strawberry Mont Blanc was small but had plenty of cream and a strawberry sauce inside, with a slightly sweet and slightly sour taste. For the second round, I had a Ruby Cacao Cream cake and a Double Mont Blanc. The Ruby chocolate was a new experience for me, but it didn't stand out as particularly delicious or bad. The Double Mont Blanc was small with less cream than usual, and the chestnut paste and candied chestnuts on top added a nice texture, but it was still quite sweet. In the third round, I tried the baked cheesecake using Kiri cream cheese and the Amaou strawberry milk crepe. The cheesecake was rich but not too sweet, with a light cheese flavor. I prefer the Premium Rich Baked Cheesecake with a salty taste over this one. The Amaou strawberry milk crepe was too sweet for my liking. For the fourth round, I had the strawberry mille-feuille, Hokkaido mascarpone authentic tiramisu, and colorful fruit milky soft serve parfait, which were all quite sweet. I managed to finish with the yogurt's acidity in the parfait balancing out the sweetness. Overall, with the price adjustment and the ability to use Rakuten points, it was a good deal, and I can easily visit again at this price. Thank you for the meal.

Autumn Sweets~♪ Despite having raised prices in February, it seems that there will be another price increase at the end of the month before the consumption tax hike at Fujiya's dessert buffet. Paying 2,700 yen at Fujiya is not worth it. There are places in hotels where you can go for just over 2,000 yen, and I used to go there easily without a reservation because of the convenience and cost performance. However, with the taste being like a family restaurant, if the price goes up this much... This time, I mainly focused on the cakes from the autumn sweets fair, with 8 cakes and a colorful fruit parfait, and in the end, I tried the cream anmitsu without red bean paste, which I had never eaten before because I didn't like red bean paste. I'm glad I saved the cream anmitsu for last, as it's heavy on the stomach with a lot of agar. The Shine Muscat shortcake had a milder sweetness in the cream than I expected, and the sweetness of the Shine Muscat was nice. I really wanted to try the chestnut tart, but it didn't have much of an impact in terms of flavor... The apple and caramel cake was the most delicious. It's a shame that the convenience of being able to go anytime I felt like it was the best part. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a restaurant with a friend in Osaka, intending to just have tea, but ended up ordering quite a lot of food (lol). Luckily, that day if you ordered a meal, the drink bar was free! What a lucky break. Suddenly, the Happy Birthday melody started playing in the restaurant. I thought there must be someone celebrating a birthday at another table, but then a staff member came to our table with a Peko-chan cake (toy). It turns out, my eldest daughter had her birthday two weeks ago. While my daughter and I were at the drink bar, my friend must have asked for the surprise birthday celebration. My daughter was in a panic (lol). "Today, ○○-chan is celebrating her birthday~" "Huh? How do they know my name and birthday?" My daughter was puzzled by how the staff knew her name and birthday. Anyway, my youngest daughter just wanted to blow out the candle (lol). The other customers at the nearby tables clapped and congratulated us. My eldest daughter was very happy. And my youngest daughter, who didn't really understand what was going on, was also happy (lol). We got ice cream and a photo, and I was also happy. It's so nice when they surprise you with a birthday celebration on the spot. Despite the strong image of cakes, this restaurant, Fujiya, actually offers hearty meals that are quite delicious, albeit a bit pricey. They also have cake buffets, but I don't think I could eat more than 2-3 pieces (lol). I would like to visit again if I have the chance.

Soup curry is a sophisticated taste. They provide Tabasco, so you can add plenty to make it spicier. You can have extra rice, but even the regular portion is enough. The beer comes in a frozen mug, which is nice and cold, but I don't like the ice floating in it.

I have been going to the Fujiya Momoyamadai store since it opened. They used to have birthday cakes with buttercream back in the day. When my kids were little, we would always come here for their birthdays and take photos. One famous thing they have is the cake buffet. I haven't tried it yet. This time, I hesitated again, but I thought getting a set of two cakes would be enough, right? If I still feel like I need more, I can always add a parfait, which would cost the same as the buffet price. When you order, you get cake vouchers. You can either get them all at once or one by one. We chose to get them all at once because we're lazy! Of course, you can't go wrong with the Italian Shortcake at Fujiya! And I always end up choosing the more expensive ones... I went with the Double Mont Blanc. In the end, I'm glad I stuck with the set of two cakes. One cake is quite filling, so having more than three would be impossible!

I visited to try the new Hokkaido Cheese & Okinawa Black Sugar cake. There were 3 types of cheese cakes and 3 types of black sugar cakes, all with plenty of cream but not overly sweet. The Cheese Mont Blanc was delicious, with two types of cheese cream and crushed cheese inside, the sweetness was just right. The black sugar cake had candied almonds on top, adding a nice texture. I also tried the Premium Mont Blanc, which had diced chestnuts sandwiched inside. The Milky Pudding came with a choice of 3 sauces (Amaou Strawberry, Blueberry, Lemon) and I chose Blueberry. The Kirarin Jelly had 3 options, and I chose grape & apple, which had several fruits inside and was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Fujiya to eat cake without a reservation since I had no plans. I visited around 10:30 am on a holiday, so there were plenty of cakes available. They had 6 limited-time varieties, with the cream puffs being twice the size of a regular eclair! The mille-feuille burger tasted okay but was a bit messy to eat. I tried the new sakura-themed desserts, including the sakura flower roll and the fluffy sakura verrine, but I didn't like the sakura flavor. I wanted to try the tiramisu parfait, but they had changed their menu due to a price revision, and the larger parfaits were no longer available. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

Strawberry Fair~♪ I finished my errands earlier than expected, so I decided to visit this place on a holiday around 1:30 pm. I arrived and waited to be seated after writing my name down. Despite the restaurant not being crowded, it took a while to be seated! The staff at the register seemed to notice but I had to finally call out to them to get seated. I ordered the dessert buffet, as this was my first time at this location but I knew how it worked, so I skipped the explanation and started the buffet right away. I had come here to try the various strawberry cakes that had been available since the end of December. Unfortunately, the strawberry tart was not available yet, but everything else was there. I went to the showcase and ordered a few items that were running low. You could order two items at a time. I tried the Premium Strawberry Puff, the bright red Strawberry Cake, the Tiramisu with Amaou Strawberry Sauce, the luxurious Mont Blanc, the Milk Crepe with Amaou Strawberry Sauce, the Strawberry Mille-feuille, the Italian Shortcake, the new White Chocolate Fresh Cake, and the Strawberry Parfait. The Italian Shortcake caught my eye as it was my first time seeing it at the store and I had heard good reviews about it, but it turned out to have too much cream and not enough sponge cake, making it too rich for my taste. The new White Chocolate Fresh Cake, which had been renovated, was also too sweet with too much cream for me. I used to think it was delicious before... I wanted to try more of the strawberry fair cakes, but the richness of these two affected my experience and I ended up stopping there. I should have just stuck to all the strawberry cakes... I tried five out of the thirteen strawberry fair cakes (including three shortcake varieties) and they were all pretty good. This location is about an 8-minute walk from the station, making it convenient to visit, so I might choose to come here next time I feel like going to Fujiya (^-^) Thank you for the meal.
