Ota, Gunma, Japan｜響香

Thank you for your kindness in making a reservation for a birthday cake. The cake I bought for takeout was also delicious. Next time I would like to taste it with coffee at the store.

This is the store that caught my attention when I was passing by. I was finally able to go. I was drawn to the phrase "home-roasted coffee." The number of seats inside the restaurant is small, but when I visited at 3pm on a Sunday, there were several groups of elderly customers, so it wasn't crowded. The nostalgic atmosphere of a pure cafe was very comfortable. All chairs are KAWAI piano chairs. There was also a piano in the back. There are many coffee cups lined up and it looks stylish. Due to the small number of seats and the coronavirus pandemic, the time limit is one hour, so you won't be able to stay for long, but it will be relaxing. The use of cameras, cell phones, and computers is prohibited. It was very disappointing that photos were also not allowed. In this day and age, I thought that if the reputation spread through social media such as Instagram, the number of customers from various age groups would increase. The coffees I ordered were "Narumi" and "Kyoka". Both are home-roasted and very delicious. Most of the cakes are chocolate-based, and I ordered a chocolate cake with half-boiled cake and orange peel on top. It seems that takeout is also possible. The cake is also absolutely delicious. I thought it was a pretty high quality cake for the price. The cake also appeared to be made in the shop. I've seen some negative reviews regarding the behavior of the female clerk (probably the owner), but it wasn't bad at all. I felt that he was kind. It's true that there was no explanation about the cake, but how detailed do you expect a coffee shop in Gunma to be? I think the fork I wanted to use when eating the cake was a cutipol tableware, which is a high-quality silverware. I really liked this store, so I would like to use it again if I have a chance.

We will only evaluate the chocolate cake. Local quality is amazing. Although the sweetness is modest, you can fully enjoy the taste of chocolate, and above all, the elegant taste that shows the delicateness of the creator is a must-try at least once. I often take out this chocolate cake as a souvenir.
