The friendly, attentive service only elevates the visit, making every guest feel welcomed and valued.

While the establishment currently operates on a cash-only basis and no longer serves breakfast, these minor points do little to detract from an otherwise memorable experience. The option to customize your mochi with additions like Calpico Jelly adds a playful, refreshing twist to each visit.
