It's a café under the direct management of a fruit farm in Yoshino, Nara. I recommend their fruit sandwich firstly. The fruit is delicious of course, the bread of brown sugar and the cream not too sweet are excellent!◎You can eat both for here and to go. They sell fruit and dry fruit, too. Open: 10:00~19:00, no regular holidays.

A Christmas-only parfait with cute reindeer chocolate on top of macaroons. Pistachio cream and strawberries. The Christmas colors are cute, and some of them are unbearable for nut lovers, such as pistachio and praline fiantine and nuga glasse. The bottom tastes like shortcake. It is also good to add acidity with warm berry sauce.

A shop in Naramachi. The new autumn parfait is a cute parfait with Nara-like Daibutsu-sama and torii cookies. Among them are chestnuts, sweet potatoes, persimmons, grapes, apples, etc. It is full of autumn tastes. It is even more delicious if you mix it with marron cream or milk ice cream. I am grateful for the Daibutsu-sama's cookies after worshiping them.
