Yokkaichi, Mie, Japan｜Gion sigma

No longer a smoking restaurant! Real classic Japanese “western” food in a restaurant that looks like it came from the 1950s. Never mind that though. Look at this “Big chocolate parfait”!!! That’s ALL ‘soft cream’. No cheapie whipped cream here. I could barely finish it and just ¥900!

The first time my parents took me there was 43 years ago. In the old days, there were more koi, the pond was bigger, and the piano was playing. When my friend from Nagoya came as a student, the meal was Σ. At that time, there was a private room, and the 6 of us were together, and it was a nostalgic time of our youth. Right now, I only try the morning set for 430 yen, which has plenty of vegetables and the best dressing. The fluffy sofa where I spend my time reading the newspaper is just as soothing as ever. Everyone, please come and experience the coffee shop ☕🏠️Σ.

Pudding Royal! 880 yen is amazing with this. By the way, the pudding is hard and the sweetness is quite modest. If you take it with a meal, it is recommended that you take it lightly.
