Unomachi Coffee in Imai-cho, Kashihara, Nara Prefecture. We can also enjoy seeing the buildings of old Edo Period. Unomachi Coffee is a popular cafe in Okayama, then it has come to Imai! The fruit changes every season, and they offer many other menus. I like its interiors, too.

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.

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♪
