A rather serious & pricey setting to be having desserts. each person is required to order 1 dessert & 1 drink. Now, I am not a big dessert person but their parfait is... excellent 🤤 I devoured it in seconds. It was imho worth the price ✨ Initially wanted to try their kakigori but i think it was for summer specifically 🍧

visiting this dessert place about 8 years ago. So glad it lasts through the pandemic. The parfait still tastes very good. The rice ball is soft and chewy, and the ice cream mixed with berries were also very yummy. Seasonal chestnut flavor is also very delicious.
