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.

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.

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.

An adult coffee shop with a somewhat retro exterior, lots of guitars on the walls, and subdued lighting and jazz music. The secret behind the restaurant's popularity is that it has an atmosphere that makes you forget about time and relax, even though the restaurant doesn't have any social media or website. There was a wide variety of sweets on the menu, including parfaits, pancakes, pies, and cakes that changed with the seasons! The Japanese parfait I ordered this time was retro and delicious♪
