Located in Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, "Kyobashi Senhikoya Atre Ueno Store" is a cafe that I wanted to visit after seeing reviews on Tabelog. I visited this cafe as part of my two-night, three-day solo trip to Tokyo for a "Ueno & Akabane Bar Crawl" on my second day. It was my birthday, so I wanted to have some cake and arrived around 12:00 pm. However, the restaurant was full so I had to wait outside. After about 15 minutes, I was guided to a table for two. The cafe has around 8 tables for four, 3 tables for two, and 4 counter seats. As a COVID-19 precaution, there are acrylic partitions between the tables. Kyobashi Senhikoya is a long-established fruit specialty store founded in 1881. They have around 20 cafes in the Kanto region, and one store in Shizuoka, "Kyobashi Senhikoya Shizuoka Isetan Store." The cafe offers a variety of sweets made with high-quality fruits, as well as curry rice, hashed beef rice, and sandwiches. The majority of customers were women, so as a lone male customer, I felt a bit embarrassed. I wanted to have cake, so I ordered the "Cake Assortment (Strawberry Shortcake + Iced Coffee)" for 2,310 yen. The "Cake Assortment" allows you to choose your favorite cake, which is served with 6 types of fruits, vanilla ice cream, and a drink. I chose the "Strawberry Shortcake" this time. It was a small strawberry shortcake that costs 810 yen if ordered separately. The 6 fruits served with the cake were musk melon, strawberry, apple, orange, grapefruit, and pink grapefruit, which may vary depending on the season. All the fruits were delicious, reflecting the expertise of a long-established fruit specialty store. The set felt more like fruits complemented by cake rather than the other way around. For the drink, I chose the "Iced Coffee," which was a refreshing choice. I recommend this set for those who love fruits.
