大吟醸 雪山酒@厨 くろぎ

黒龍の酒粕の入ったクリームのかかったかき氷。中には柚子の香りの餡子が隠れていて、氷はふわふわ。これで小サイズ。お皿も素敵。美味しくてあっという間に完食。今日までの限定メニューだそうで、間に合って嬉しい!

Full moon near Lio

 



Tarte Tatin & latte @ Coffee Elementary School

 It was a sweets day at the coffee shop. Caramelized apples are amazing! It was not crowded, I had another cup of latte, a coconut latte to enjoy the warmth of coffee. Made a sour cream apple pie and caramel apple & roasted tea muffin to go. Happy!

Nitro Cold Brew Coffee @Starbucks Reserve in Ginza

 Smooth like velvet, but the coffee is a usual Starbucks cold brew.... Better drink it up while the form stays, especially when the first sip is like enjoying the beer :-)

The first time I had bubbly cold brew was probably at La Colombe in NY, a long time ago. I saw a long line and thought I had to try. Their Draft Latte must be the one I had, poured from a tap just like a beer, and it was amazing!


プゴク@たらちゃん
