A cute little place with some amazing deserts!
If you love Japan or just want to really try the authentic traditional side, this is a place for you! The portions are pretty big so I'd suggest maybe keeping that in mind and ordering more afterwards.
I absolutely loved the sake ice-cream, mochi and azuki, it's a great combination and you can really tell that the staff loves what they do.
A must go to! Only reason they only get a 4/5 is that I don't have enough experience with this kind of sweets as it's pretty hard to come by.

I found this place while wondering the streets around Kappabashi shopping street.
We were enticed by the display in the window and we were very pleased with what we found.
We had match anmitsu, which is a kind of sweet jelly and green tea ice cream with various fruits. It was extremely delicious!! The fruits were so juicy and delicious, much better than expected. It was the perfect way to cool down in a hot day.
The staff were very professional and attentive, immediately filled out cups with nice cool green tea and were so helpful.
English menu is available and there is a wide range of desserts to choose from.
I recommend this place to satisfy your sweet tooth.
