It's rich and not too sweet, but the creator found it a bit pricey for Β₯1400 (approx. $14 AUD) and wouldn't rush to get it again.
- Baked sweet potato brulee Β· Β₯750 β A baked sweet potato topped with a sweet custard that shatters like glass. As you dig in, you get more of the super soft and smooth sweet potato. The creator rated it 7.5/10.
- Melon pan Β· Β₯300 β A warm melon pan, fresh from the oven, with a beautifully crispy and fresh outer crust and a fluffy, sweet inside. It's delicious on its own, but you can also get it with ice cream inside. The creator rated it 9/10.
- Hanami dango Β· Β₯150 β A popular sweet snack, especially during cherry blossom season, featuring chewy dango (rice dumplings) on a skewer. The creator loved the chewy texture and found it a nice sweet snack, rating it 8/10.
- Takoyaki taco Β· Β₯500 β A unique takoyaki served in a rice cracker 'taco' shell. The rice cracker provides an amazing crunch, complementing the soft takoyaki with chewy bits of octopus inside. The creator enjoyed how all the different textures worked well together, rating it 8.5/10.
