Recommended gourmet food
Pancake in the snowy mountains @The Veranda Ishiuchi Maruyama
This has been the signature cafe menu since The Veranda was born. The combination of warm, crispy pie crust, sweet fruit whipped cream, and ice cream is exquisite. Looks great too! A very popular item. There are 5 flavors: caramel banana, apple cinnamon, mixed berry, chocolate banana, and honey lemon. I want to try them all!
