Recommended Gourmet

Snow Mountain Pancakes @The Veranda Ishiuchi Maruyama

This has been a signature cafe menu item at The Veranda since its opening. The combination of crispy warm pie crust with sweet fruit, whipped cream, and ice cream is exquisite. It also looks great! This is a very popular item. There are five flavors: caramel banana, apple cinnamon, mixed berry, chocolate banana, and honey lemon. I want to try them all!
