My favorite cafe that used to be near my old home. Except for the busy lunch hours, it was a relaxing and cozy place for me to visit alone on weekdays. The parking lot was always full when I passed by on my way to the dog hospital in this area, but on this day, it was a Saturday and luckily there was one spot available, so I slipped in. The sizzling hot teppanyaki dishes came with a drink, and during lunch hours (11:00-14:00), they also included a salad! The Teppan Napolitan for 990 yen was served piping hot as always, and my excitement was at an all-time high! I mixed the noodles with the beaten egg underneath before it solidified, and took my first bite. This was exactly what I wanted to eat!! As I took a bite, a sense of nostalgia overwhelmed me, and I felt like tears were about to come out. The juicy sausage, the subtle bitterness of the bell peppers, and the crunchy onions that left a crisp sensation. The Napolitan at Kanon Kissa was still the best. The Teppan Meat Sauce for 990 yen was equally delicious, with a homemade rich meat sauce, creamy egg, and thick noodles creating a heavenly experience. Even with my sensitive tongue, I couldn't help but savor every bite of the deliciousness. After our meal, my husband and I both chose a cafe au lait for our drink. The gentle sweetness of the whipped cream spread throughout our mouths, followed by the strong taste of the coffee. Creamy Cafe au Lait was truly the best in the world...no, in the universe. I also tried the "Hapifuri" for the first time, as recommended by Mr. MyレビSR. Hapifuri stands for "Happy Fritter Carnival," and in my imagination, it's like enjoying delicious fried food and feeling happy like at a festival. There were many menu items that caught my eye, but I carefully selected two for takeout and enjoyed them at home. The Turban-kun and Spicy Turban-kun (set of 2 for 400 yen) had a cute name that accurately represented the product. The sausage inside had a crispy skin and a meaty texture similar to the Napolitan. The dough was mochi-like and chewy, with a gentle seasoning that was comforting, yet the Spicy version had a subtle curry spiciness that lingered afterwards, making it a perfect snack to satisfy your hunger. The Miso Cutlet Bento for 550 yen was exactly what it sounded like, a satisfying bento with a full volume. While it couldn't beat the sizzling hot teppan dishes at the restaurant, the quality and cost performance were far superior to the same-priced convenience store bentos. The simmered ingredients were tender and flavorful, and the miso cutlet was a hearty piece of meat. The red miso sauce, specially adjusted by the master for people from Hokkaido, had a good balance with the rice. Even my husband, who doesn't like red miso, praised it as "delicious!" One more thing, not related to Hapifuri, but something I look forward to every year, is the "Kanono Kissa's Stone-baked Sticky Sweet Potato" for 386 yen each. Each one is carefully baked by hand in the shop, and I believe the variety is "Beni Haruka." When cut, the honey oozes out, and when eaten, it has a sticky and sticky texture, giving you the sensation of eating a sweet potato or sweet potato paste. It seems that the key point is the aging of the sweet potatoes, and last year, when it wasn't quite right, the master ended the sales early. This season, it is planned to be sold for a long time with the best quality, so for those who haven't tried it yet, please give it a try. There are so many recommendations that I couldn't introduce them all! In fact, whether it's a meal or a dessert, you can't go wrong with any choice, so you can rest assured. However, one thing that caught my attention was the pricing, as some were listed excluding tax and some were including tax, so I thought it would be easier to understand if it was unified. Next time, I will definitely try the dessert and come for Hapifuri!
