I received a birthday present from a patient. It was a set of baked sweets from a shop that I used to often visit and loved when I lived in Kameoka City. Thank you very much. I wanted to keep it all to myself, but my mother and sister stole it from me. It was incredibly delicious!

First visit! As mentioned in other reviews, the taste was sweeter than I expected. The baked goods were really delicious.

This was a shop I often passed by during my college days. I didn't have many opportunities to go in, but before graduating from college and moving out of my lodgings, I finally visited this memorable shop.

Whenever I pass by, the shop is usually closed on its regular holiday. But today, it was open so I decided to visit. The shop had a cute Santa sign and had a red-themed interior. Inside, there was a wall full of shelves with baked goods, including beautifully wrapped gift sets of baked sweets, baked donuts, cookies, and more. This time, I purchased the Misokamemaru Miso Financier, Sakura Cookie, and Heart Ginger Cookie from Kameoka City. I also bought a "specialty Mille-feuille" that caught my eye. This one is made to order. When I got home, I had the Mille-feuille before it got humid. It was about 5cm tall and had a low profile. The surface was covered in powdered sugar and had a shiny, sweet taste. The surface was crispy while the inside was flaky. The custard cream filling was quite loose and sweet. I ate it as soon as I got home, but the custard cream was so loose that it soaked into the pastry a bit, making it a bit messy to eat. The Misokamemaru Miso Financier had a Financier dough with crushed almond inside a Misokamemaru-shaped wafer. The Financier dough was thin and crispy, blending well with the wafer for a light texture. There was a subtle white miso flavor as well. The Heart Ginger Cookie had a light, crunchy texture similar to a biscuit, but I couldn't taste the ginger at all. Perhaps I was expecting a stronger flavor. There was no cinnamon taste either. The Sakura Cookie was a thick, square shortbread with a crumbly texture. It had a faint sakura scent. Overall, the sweets were quite sweet, with a lingering sweetness that was a bit too much for my taste. There were no particularly unique flavors, just classic cakes, making them a good choice for a gift to households with children. Thank you for the meal.

My husband bought some cakes again. He found a cute cake shop near Super Matsumoto in Narakawa, Kameoka City. There is parking space in front of the shop, and it's convenient if you're already at the supermarket. Here are my comments on the cakes he bought: - Moon ¥340: A light and smooth cheesecake. It's not too rich, so even those who aren't big fans of cheesecake might enjoy it. As a cheesecake lover, I was hoping for something richer, but it was still good. - Rich Cheese ¥110: Another cake he bought was the Rich Cheese, which was creamy and delicious. Despite its small size, it was very rich. The soft texture and the price of ¥110 made me wish he had bought more. - Strawberry Tart ¥350: A visually appealing strawberry tart with a generous amount of whipped cream, custard cream, and strawberries. I love both strawberries and tarts, and this one had a thick, crispy crust. It was delicious. - Thank You Pudding ¥150: I love creamy puddings, especially milk pudding, and this one was fantastic. The smooth texture, light milk flavor, and perfect sweetness made it a hit. Why did he only buy one? I want more. The standout items this time were the pudding and Rich Cheese, considering the price and taste. The affordable prices make it easy to buy more.

At Hanamaru Market, Takaba Koji was highly praising the pumpkin chiffon cake here! Since there was no seasonal pumpkin chiffon cake available, I considered trying other chiffon cakes, but ended up getting the "Kamado-dashi Zucotto Cheesecake," a dome-shaped souffle cheesecake. The package reads, "Let's walk slowly, just like a turtle, as cheese becomes more delicious with aging. Let's cherish the time with everyone more than ever." It was very comforting! Even when divided into 6 parts, it was quite a generous portion! The texture was smooth and moist, making it a delicious treat.

I bought it on the way to Kameoka. The location is about 50 meters from the Matsumoto Supermarket and Kyoto Bank on the road between Kameoka Oi Interchange. There is parking for 3 cars in front of the store. Next to the computer store, I was lured in by the delicious smell, and it seemed to have a high-class atmosphere. There are turtle shell-like cheesecakes, whole chiffon cakes, delicious-looking tartes tatin, mille-feuille, and many cut slices lined up. I bought tarte tatin, mille-feuille, Sacha (316 yen), and for souvenirs, cream puffs (165 yen), and a cheesecake shaped like a turtle shell. I ate at the customer's place in about 20 minutes. The Sacha was light, not too sweet, and quite delicious. The mille-feuille, there was only one sample on display, but it seems they make it fresh after ordering to keep it crispy. It is a bit sweet but within an acceptable range. The tarte tatin was quite rich, with a crispy bottom crust that was quite delicious. Shops that are confident in their tarte tatin often serve whipped cream separately, but here they put a little on top of the tart. The deliciousness of the tarte tatin is among the top I've ever had. I didn't try the other items, but they were said to be delicious. My impression is that the tarte tatin is quite similar to Comme Toujours in Kitayama. The mille-feuille and other cakes felt more delicate at Comme Toujours, but the cakes at Chez Santa are mostly priced at 300-400 yen, making it a cheap and locally-rooted shop. The location may be rural, but the shop was constantly busy, and the cost-performance ratio felt too high. The shop owner mentioned that "Koji Matoba came to visit," but regardless, it was a delicious shop. Hmm, there are few reviews and I haven't heard of this place, but it's surprising to find such a high-level shop... Oh my, I'm impressed. I will definitely go back to buy more...

This shop is located next to the Super Matsumoto Oi store along National Route 9. Most people in this area are familiar with this cake shop. One of the main features is that all the cakes are light and easy to eat. The recommended cake is called Sacha. Most cakes are priced around 320 yen, making them affordable. The atmosphere of the shop is cute, and you may find yourself wanting to buy things other than cakes. They also have a stamp card where you can get a stamp each time you make a purchase. Even if you forget your card, they can stamp your receipt so you can use it next time.

Yesterday, I received a souvenir from my former boss when I was working part-time! When I lived in Kameoka, I used to go there to buy something every month! I especially love their cream puffs, and even as I write this, I can still remember the taste! This time, it was a set of baked goods! It was really delicious! I will definitely go buy some again soon!
