A cafe in Kan'non-yama Fruit Garden. The parfait of the seasonal, locally grown matured fruit looks nice, and tastes good! Now, it uses strawberry, orange and apple, and that would be changed every season.

Fujimoan's Mont Blanc is a little different from regular Mont Blanc because it has gelato inside, so it's quite easy to eat! ! Mont Blanc seems to change the fruit depending on the season, and this time of year my favorite is Marihime strawberry! ! The cream made from raw chestnuts has a rich chestnut flavor and is very smooth. Inside is brown sugar and strawberry gelato and sponge cake. It was light and easy to eat♪
