Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima, Japan｜CAFE KEI-KI

Recommend: Cheesecake, chocolate cake and raspberry squash

I stopped by Aizuwakamatsu for a break while traveling. What I ate: ①Today's cake set ②KEI-KI original blend coffee Price: ①680 yen ②420 yen Staying time: 30 minutes Corona measures: Disinfection available Leave plenty of space between tables First of all, this restaurant can only be described as "amazing". As soon as you enter, you'll notice the tea leaves and coffee beans carefully selected by the owner, and from there you'll see small items such as tea cups, and cakes and breads lined up in the show window, making it feel like a stylish, retro country coffee shop. . Since it is a carefully constructed wooden structure, the sound of people walking is very pleasant.To be honest, I could stay for several hours just listening to the sounds of the staff working and the clock instead of the music playing quietly inside the store (nuisance customer). And my favorite point is that the antique window fasteners are so stylish (backlit and dark...) ① was chiffon cake and Ceylon tea (cold). Chiffon cake is not too sweet, so you can eat it without getting tired of it, and the fruit that comes with it changes depending on the season. The Ceylon tea had a nice aroma and I had it straight. I received ② in black, and it was very average, with a ☆3 aroma, 2☆ sourness, and 3☆ bitterness, giving it a clean and well-balanced taste. However, I feel that it lacks a lot of personality and is lacking...? Personally, I would have preferred it to be a little more roasted and more bitter, but since the cake is less sweet, I realized that it was a well-balanced composition with the cake, and I can feel the owner's commitment to it. It's a rustic restaurant where the food you eat doesn't stay in your mouth after you leave the restaurant, and you'll probably miss it and want to taste it again.

I ordered a Christmas cake [fruit double cream tart]. Lots of fruit and delicious tarts. Custard cream and whipped cream. It's a refreshing and timeless cake. The atmosphere in the shop, and the care taken by the shop staff to explain the cake to the customer and check the completion before putting it in the box is the best.
