Arrived in about 5 minutes on foot from Kintetsu Nara Station. Udon shop where you can line up Mentouan's specialty is this reverse kitsune udon, "Kinchaku kitsune". When you break the sweet purse-aged fried tofu cooked with soup stock, you will find delicious udon noodles that are chewy. It also has a curry flavor. You can also take out, so it's also a souvenir from Nara.

In the site of a popular café 'Nanatsumori' in Nara, okashiya kiiro sells 'OYAMUFFIN' that is named the same as mountains in Nara. They are photogenic, and also very delicious!◎It's sold at a confectionary shop of Nanatsumori. They use Nara's maccha for Mt.Wakakusa, and Nara's strawberry for Mt.Yamatokatsuragi, so they are particular about the materials. You can buy them at some events.

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.

Sri Lankan cuisine such as naan curry is delicious! And during the spring season, strawberry ice cream is sold seasonally and in limited quantities. There are strawberries in the mug! It is topped with condensed milk and topped with vanilla ice cream and strawberries. It's simple but also delicious! Most of the trees around the shop are cherry blossoms. When it's in full bloom, it looks like a cherry blossom paradise.
