オムライス万惣風、¥1470。
ホットケーキ+ドリンクセット、¥800。
Omurice Manso-style. Tastes okay.
The famous “Hotcake”. This place has been making hotcakes for the past 70 years apparently. It is crispy on the outside and tasty enough, but I think I prefer it to be a littlle softer.

マロンクリームのホットケーキ、¥788。
Marron cream hotcake. Generous amount of marron chunks are mixed with the cream. With a lot of cream the hotcake tastes better.

マロンと大納言のパフェ仕立て、¥1365。
フルーツサンドイッチ、¥1050。
Marron and Dainagon red bean parfait. Has matcha and vanilla ice-cream, fresh fruits and cream. A bit nothing-special for 1365yen.
Fruit sandwich. Quite a heavy layer of cream but fortunately it is not sweetened and there is a lot of fruits in the sandwich. The bread is not so great but overall the sandwich is quite good. You can buy this fruit sandwich as take-out for slightly cheaper price from the shop on the ground floor.

Part of the menu(J): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

フルーツオムレツ、1260円。白桃のフレッシュパフェ、1470円。
Fruit omelette. It is basically a massive souffle, wrapped in a thin layer of crepe, HOT from the oven. The egg smells great and the texture very soft! So soft that in fact there is not that much substance in that volume. ^^;; Very good though. Peach parfait is not bad, there are small slices of peach stuffed between vanilla ice-cream and raspberry sorbet. The ice-cream and the raspberry sauce are a bit too sweet though. btw I didn’t eat both at one time, had the parfait first and saw other customers ordering the omelette and drooled, so went back the next day to try.

060810 033.jpgBanana pancake and French toast. I saw this hotel breakfast on TV and it looked really good, so dragged a friend to try with me. Well, another example that TV gourmet recommendations are not trustworthy. Both are no good! The French toast is so dry that it gets stuck in your throat and won’t go down. There are orange puree and nuts in the toast, and apple cinnamon on top. Very little or no egg. My friend’s pancake is slightly better, but really, nothing special, you need to add a lot of syrup and butter to get it down your throat. We ordered coffee and it came up to 2700~yen each.
