We stumbled upon this place after an extremely hot day sightseeing around the area. It’s a bit hidden, but google maps does a good job leading you there. We waited over 30 minutes in the HEAT just to get in. There aren’t that many seating areas inside so you have to wait till someone finishes. We were the only foreigners there and in line too, so maybe it’s a place for locals? They don’t have any English signs or menus so I’m assuming it is. Which isn’t a bad thing! Just be ready to use your phone for google translate on the menu or just point at the picture if you see something you like. Warning, unlike most places most of their menu doesn’t have a picture so try your best to use google translate if you want to see all the options. I can read basic Japanese so we got by with that.

We were initially shocked by the prices, mostly all we’re over 1000 yen. But when it came out it made sense… it was huge!! Like absolutely huge. We didn’t think we could finish it all, but realized that it’s all super soft snow like texture, so it wasn’t as much as we thought it was. We still couldn’t finish our portions.

The strawberry one was tart and sweet. The matcha red bean one was sweet but also bitter. Both tasted great! It may not seem well coated since the middle is white, but that’s normal you have to take mixed scoops to make it well coated.

Overall, it was worth the awful wait in the heat. Much better than anything you can get off the streets for sure.
