From a couple of visits.
Fried Manju. Chewy skin with red bean paste inside. Freshly fried to order. Very nice!
Awa-zenzai – millet and red bean paste. Sticky millet(hidden underneath) and rich red bean paste – one of the best I have eaten!

We went during the springtime and were served sakura tea – not exactly tea but a hot drink made from salted sakura flower and hot water. It is salty.

ヨモギ地にアンチーズ。
紅茶まん（アールグレイ入り生地にシナモン粒あん）。

A cafe specialised in manju.
Red bean paste and cheese in a wild grass(yomogi) manju.
Red bean paste and cinnamon in a Earl Grey tea flavoured manju.
The manju are freshly made and come steaming hot and have very soft skin. The chai is strong and rich.
Menu: 1, 2.
I sat on the second floor which has very cute decor. Looks like this cafe is converted from a house. The manju are steamed on the first floor. I didn’t know I had to take off my shoes before climbing the steep stairs and was told off by the staff….I saw some slippers there and wore them without thinking, and was told off again because the slippers are only for the bathroom…^^;; Wish there were signs or something.
