Except the apple pie, they serve cakes and baked confectioneries.

Apple Pie

My friend strongly recommended their apple pie to me, so I visited here in the evening on Saturday for the first time. A lot of customers formed a line. Since the apple pie was sold out, I gave it up. This time was the second challenge. There were few visitors in the day on a weekday that I visited here, so I got a long-cherished apple pie at last. The price was JPY 302 per one.

I decided to eat it at a park near the confectionary shop. Pie crust was flaky, and apple pie jam was sweet-sour. But the sweetness was not too much. It was tasty! Fuji Apple (富士りんご) was used in the apple pie. Since it was the light sweetness, I could eat 3 pieces of the apple pie. I understood the reason why my friend strongly recommended it. Thanks for the tasty apple pie!
