Have apple pie. The apples were very delicious. It's cold, but the texture is fluffy and crunchy, and it's not too sweet, and the tart pastry is firm and contrasts well with the apples.
The store is clean and has a very refreshing feel. Customer service is also modest, polite and calm. The luxurious parfait seemed to be a specialty, but I thought it would be nice to have a drink.

People in the city often buy fruit sandwiches here as souvenirs.
Speaking of Hosokawa, it's a fruit sandwich, and I'd definitely recommend the fruit sandwich for first-timers, but the fruit-filled parfait is also good.
Fruit parfait from a fruit shop! It's not topped with cornflakes or anything, it's filled with all kinds of fruits, and it's absolutely delicious. It also includes blackcurrant ice cream and soft serve ice cream. Good compatibility.
The portions are generous and will leave you satisfied.
I didn't have that problem at Takashimaya, but as other reviews said, the ice cream at the bottom is fresh cream? I wonder if it was melted or if it was fresh cream... It was like that, but the ice cream on top was cold enough so it wasn't a problem!
Takashimaya stores and menus are almost the same.
*It says there is only one parking lot, but if you park it properly, it will usually fit two cars.
