The grounds are filled with greenery, making it a soothing space with an exotic feelー!! I ordered the kurumi an butter pancake, and my coworker ordered the caramel nut pancake!! The kurumi an butter cake came with anko (sweet red bean paste), butter, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and walnuts! When I first let the butter melt and took a bite, the pancake itself was on the sweet side, with a slightly crisp texture on the outside! The inside was fluffy and delicious!!

Rejoice

Rejoice is a cafe known for its bright, glass walled space with an open atrium ceiling, so relaxing that it hardly feels like it is inside a hospital.

The menu is said to focus on gentle, wholesome dishes that make the most of the ingredients, from meals to desserts.

Their seasonal parfaits are popular. One key point is that they use plenty of fruit at its best during that time.

This one is Shine Muscat, a grape variety in season from summer to fall. This Japanese-grown grape is seedless and can be eaten with the skin on, which makes it a great fruit for parfaits.

"Apple Cheesecake" has been a consistently popular sweet since the shop first opened. It is said to have a moist, rich flavor from the cream cheese and apple filling.

The sugar is kept low, bringing out the apple's natural sweetness.

We sat where we could look out over Kego Jinja (Kego Shrine) and Kego Koen (Kego Park). It was a wonderfully spacious area with a great view, making it a lovely place. The peach in the parfait was cut into fairly large pieces, so I had to open wide and got a mouthful of peach flavor. The sweetness and juice were amazing♪ As I kept eating, the raspberry added a refreshing touch! It’s a taste you can only enjoy at this time of year!

とんそく914

The menu is extensive, and even though it is a cafe, the food is so good that it makes sense a popular restaurant supervised it! The drinks are stylish too, and instead of oolong tea they serve rooibos tea. Lunch seems to be popular, but at night you can relax in the sofa seats and enjoy drinks and food at your own pace. The prices are reasonable, and this is my favorite place in the Imaizumi (area) area.
