The round bread, made with natural yeast and rice flour, is best eaten with crushed cacao and honey. The amuse and appetizers, such as the ladybug specialties and the grilled eggplant jus are delicious and filling. The grilled veal and grilled vegetable sauces are also very good with a hint of honey. The mango à la mode is also sweet and rich and satisfying as a dessert. I am also interested in taking cooking classes. The restaurant offers good value for money and reasonably priced meals.

Chicken Hakyu Ramen with chicken oil. The soup is rich in flavor and heavy, but the thin noodles do not bind strongly, making this ramen enjoyable to the last whether you like it rich or light. The grilled pork is probably charbroiled. It is aromatic and packed with flavor. The grilled pork shao mai is also very tasty. I always order it every time.
As for the service, the waitresses seem rather indifferent. This is a place where you may have different likes and dislikes. I prefer to talk to people who are easy to talk to, so I turn the service down one notch.
With the great atmosphere and delicious sides, I'm hoping they will open for night service. The beer is absolutely delicious.

As soon as you enter, there are small mandarin trees lined up in the garden, and I felt excited by the charming scenery. The spacious interior and terrace are pleasant, allowing you to relax while gazing at the large trees. On this day, I had to wait a little before being seated, but it felt like no time at all as I enjoyed the sunshine and looked at the fruit trees. The parfait made with plenty of early-season mandarins was packed with fruit until the last bite, and I was surprised by its sweetness. Additionally, comparing six types of 100% juice was fun as I could clearly distinguish the differences in aroma and acidity. The BLM burger, which includes seasonal citrus, was also juicy, and I felt that the refreshing flavor paired well with the hamburger.
