Don't forget dessert after your meal!

After you have had your fill, don't forget to have an after-dinner dessert. We recommend the handmade pudding made with "Nanohana Miyuki Eggs" produced in Iiyama. The pudding is topped with fresh cream and a single cherry, giving it a nostalgic feeling. The slightly firm texture matches the sweetness of the egg and the bitterness of the caramel.
