美食を好む豊穣の月
There was a sign at the entrance saying that strawberries were not available, which was good because Japanese strawberries are so full of pesticides that even Taiwan refuses to import them. I wanted to avoid strawberries, so this worked out perfectly! As soon as I entered, I saw a staff member holding an alcohol spray, ready to spray it, which was a bit scary. I don't want my hands to get any more damaged from sanitizer, and I don't want my immune system to weaken! I went to my table with my own sanitizer, but I was surprised that this kind of practice was still being enforced. Because of this, the service felt a bit rushed. The staff only briefly mentioned that the cakes were in the showcase and then walked away. The table seating was located under a TV monitor, and the layout of the tables was not ideal. The arrangement of the tables was also a bit haphazard. I was interested in the zucotto, parfaits, and fruit sandwiches, but I couldn't tell if the cream was whipped cream or fresh cream, so I opted for a simple fruit salad. Now, onto the fruit salad itself, it was quite generous in portion size. Of course, it should be for 1650 yen. The mango and watermelon had less sugar than I expected, making them easier to eat. I added a set of tea for an additional 350 yen. The tea set was a simple one with tea leaves in the cup. There was no announcement of when the tea would be ready to drink, so by the time I took out the tea leaves to drink, it was too late and the tea was too bitter. It's a minor detail, but when the plate was placed on the table, it was slightly off-center, and it seemed like the staff was not paying attention to the customers and just going through the routine. I believe that work should be more than just following a routine. As for menu suggestions, it would be nice if there were organic fruits available, even if it's for a limited time, because no matter how much you wash them, pesticides won't come off. I would be happy to pay a higher price for fruits from orchards that I can trust. With a higher price, the quality of service should also be up to par. Next time, I think I'll try the Hibiya store, which seems to be more relaxed. Thank you for the meal!
