This shaved ice shop uses seasonal vegetables as the main ingredient! It's an amazing place! I've never had shaved ice made with turnips or corn before. They also have a shaved ice called "Neko Manma" (Cat's Rice), topped with a dashi-flavored egg – it's so unique, you'll want to exclaim "What?!" I can't help but wonder how they come up with these menu items. But each one is exquisitely delicious, allowing you to fully appreciate the flavor of the ingredients while still working as shaved ice. Furthermore, even the fillings beneath the ice are meticulously prepared. From the moment it's ser

This is one of my favorite shaved ice shops, and I've visited it several times since it first opened. I hadn't been able to visit for a while due to illness, so this was my first visit in a long time. They've added new lunch items, such as omurice, which weren't there before, and I was intrigued by the expanded menu, so this time I ordered omurice and shaved ice. For the shaved ice, I chose "Sakura Pistachio." The first thing that catches the eye is its soft, spring-like cherry blossom pink appearance. Upon tasting it, a subtle saltiness acts as an accent to the gentle sweetness of the cherr

I happened to be in the area for work and was looking for a place to have lunch when I found this place on Google Maps! Since it was a weekday and past lunchtime, there were parking spaces available. I've heard complaints about the steep hill and the distance to the restaurant, but complaining about such a short distance is nonsense! I think those people must be extremely out of shape! This was my first time at a renovated old house cafe, and it had a wonderful atmosphere. There were some spots where the floor sagged, which made me a little worried, haha. I didn't have much time to eat slo

This is a cozy shop with a traditional Japanese house atmosphere. I've been here a few times before, but I came back again because I wanted to eat their fluffy shaved ice. The menu changes seasonally, which is always exciting. This time I ordered the hydrangea and melon shaved ice that I'd been curious about. The hydrangea turned a lovely pink color when lemon syrup was added. The melon came with a sauce full of melon pulp, and my mouth was filled with the taste of melon. It was delicious, as always; it's the kind of shaved ice I want to eat again.

Touring the Chiba area by motorcycle. I ordered the omurice I'd been looking forward to. It was one of the best omurice I've ever eaten. The salad was packed with local vegetables, and the dressing was delicious. I spoke with the wife, and she told me she used to run an omurice and shaved ice shop in Saitama. I understand (lol). On my way back, I chatted a bit about motorcycles with the husband. They were a wonderful couple. We'll definitely go again next time we're in Chiba! Second visit, a return visit. And to my surprise, they own a Jimny, just like me (lol). The menu included the daily sp
