Hi, this is Eri!
Recently, a friend of mine visited from Tokyo, and as always, we took the chance to explore another charming café together — this time in the town of Tajimi.
One of our favorite things to do when she comes to Gifu is go café-hopping, and this spot is known for its seasonal fruit kakigori (shaved ice desserts).
This time, we ordered the Fresh Strawberry Kakigori.
It came beautifully topped with vibrant red strawberries, a generous layer of yogurt cream, and even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The most memorable part? The silver bowl it was served in.
Cool to the touch and stunning in its simplicity, the silverware added a unique sense of occasion — turning each spoonful into a refreshing and luxurious experience.
We also enjoyed a hearty lunch set featuring honey mustard chicken, which was as flavorful as it was satisfying!
As the seasons change, I’m already looking forward to coming back to discover new flavors.
Last time we visited, I tried their pineapple and peach kakigori — here are some photos I’d love to share with you:
Juicy, sweet, and light — like capturing a taste of summer in a bowl.
Delicately sweet with a creamy yogurt topping that balances the flavor beautifully.
While this café didn’t use Mino ware this time, I couldn’t help but notice how much the right tableware enhances the experience of even a simple dessert.
Whether it’s ceramic, glass, or metal — the feel of the material in your hands can leave a lasting impression.
Hope this inspires you to enjoy more fruit-filled summer moments, wherever you are!
