9月三連休の中日の13:00に訪店。サンドイッチやフレンチトーストが美味しみお店のようですが「富士まぶし御膳・姫まぶし御膳」をいただきました。鰻のひつまぶしのように3段階で楽しみます。 ①そのまま頂きます ②薬味を掛けて頂きます ③出汁を掛けて頂きます 姫マスを骨まで食べらように事前に揚げているようです。とても優しい味で美味しく頂きました。今度はサンドイッチも食べてみたい…ですが、また、ひつまぶしを頼んでしまうかもw ちなみにひつまぶしは2時間?以上前に事前予約する必要があるので注意です。

Stumbled upon this hidden gem while cycling around Lake Kawaguchiko. Nestled in a quaint corner of the lake, the unassuming little sandwich shop delivered an experience that transcended my wildest expectations of what a simple sando could be. Their sando is to die for! Each slice cradled the ingredients with a gentle embrace, its subtle sweetness enhancing the overall flavor profile. The bread had a delicate chew, melting in the mouth and leaving a lingering richness that perfectly balanced the savory and tangy elements of the filling. You will have to try them to believe it :)

Cute shop by the lake. Very clean & stylish. Had an ice coffee and egg sandwich. Both were yummy!
