I was intrigued by this café and decided to visit for the first time after getting off at Sekime-Takadono Station. When I entered, I was asked, "Do you have a reservation?" which I found unusual for a café, but when I said I didn't have one, they didn't seem to mind and led me in. (Visited around 4 pm on a Sunday) It was hot, so I ordered a Frozen Peach Soda and a Whole Peach Tart. The Frozen Peach Soda was supposed to have frozen peaches instead of ice, but they informed me that the peaches were not frozen yet, so they could serve it with regular peaches if that was okay with me. I agreed, and for the Peach Tart, they explained that they were sold out of the large Whole Peach Tart but could offer a smaller version with two layers of peaches. After placing my order and sitting down, an older lady came over and said, "It was hot, wasn't it? Haha," while placing a portable fan on my table, making me feel like I was at grandma's house. It was heartwarming and very soothing. ----- Taste Feedback ----- The Frozen Peach Soda had a couple of small ice cubes to keep it cold. The carbonation was just right, and the peaches were juicy. For the Whole Peach Tart with two layers of peaches, a bamboo skewer was inserted to hold it together, so they advised me to be careful when eating. Before I started eating, they mentioned, "Actually, we have a spot that's great for photos," and allowed me to take a picture there. Even though I'm not good at taking photos, it turned out really nice! Also, as I was scraping the peaches off the top, they gave me a small plate to place the peach slices, which was very helpful. The peaches were delicious, and surprisingly, the tart crust and cookie part at the bottom were also very tasty. ------------------- ・There were also regulars coming in for takeout, giving me the impression that this is a shop loved by the community, but as a first-time visitor, they were incredibly kind to me, which made me happy. ・I heard that you can check their days off on Instagram and even make reservations over the phone, which is convenient and easy to understand the situation. ・Overall, isn't the price quite reasonable? Is it okay? I found a good restaurant through this experience. I left the shop feeling very satisfied, and I would definitely make an effort to visit again.
