I was traveling alone and had originally planned to skip this place, but since it was quite close to the market, I decided to check it out. As rumored, the building was quite luxurious. There were paid and free areas, and I paid the entrance fee of 800 yen to go in. Inside, it was quite empty, probably because it was a weekday. There were not many couples, mostly elderly couples and school trip students. Following the route, I found Chocotopia and decided to go in as they offered parfaits. It was a tablet order system, and I found out it was a store called Ishiya. I chose the Happy Fruit Parfait for 1450 yen. The parfait arrived quite quickly, probably because it was not busy. It was quite big, with lots of strawberries, kiwi, oranges, shiratama, berries, and more. The presentation was elaborate, with ladybug and bee-shaped sweets on top. The ice cream on top was berry and matcha flavor, refreshing and delicious. The M&M chocolate on the shiratama added a nice texture. Below that was a section with a beautifully layered shortcake, reminding me of shortcake cans. Oh, there's also pudding. At the bottom was agar jelly with strawberry sauce. Honestly, the quality was impressive. I had no expectations, but getting this level of parfait for 1450 yen was surprising. It's a shame it's only available for a limited time. Ishiya, the maker of Shiroi Koibito cookies, also has a store that serves parfaits, so I wonder if I can try it there. One more thing, the chairs sink down and the high container made it a bit difficult to eat from the top. Total cost was 1450 yen, paid with a credit card. It was a great experience enjoying the best parfait! After leaving the paid area, I found another cafe. I reserved a seat first and then ordered at the counter, where they call out your number. This time, I chose the Jumbo Mix for 550 yen. I paid with PayPay. It was indeed jumbo-sized. This place offers good value for money. The taste was rich and intense, especially the chocolate flavor in the mix, making me happy with the jumbo size.
