A café in Karuizawa that I actually want to keep a secret!
But it's truly delicious!^_^
Located in the Karuyasuku area, which has seen many new cafés and bakeries opening in recent years.
Be careful, as searching for the address on Google Maps or navigation systems might not display it correctly!
(The provided location on Tabelog is also incorrect!)
In such cases, search for "Asama Fureai Park."
From Nakakaruizawa heading towards Oiwake, progress along a forest road for 1000 meters,
turn left at the corner of Asama Fureai Park,
and continue along the narrow road until the end.
You'll find the charming old Western-style mansion,
JOULU TONTTU, on your right!♪
The exterior and interior of the building exude a blend of grandeur and cuteness,
reflecting the owner's tastes.
Also, with items like a wood stove and rocking chairs seamlessly integrated into the atmosphere,
you can enjoy the true essence of a Karuizawa holiday home.
In such an enchanting café, I had the following for breakfast today:
Soufflé Pancake (JPY 1,300, drink included):
These fluffy pancakes are made using the owner's unique recipe.^_^
When served hot, right from the oven in a skillet, a gentle sweet aroma fills the air.
At JOULU TONTTU, it's recommended to squeeze some lemon onto the hot pancakes and drizzle them with some black syrup.^_^
Even when you pour on a generous amount, the soufflé batter doesn’t easily deflate.
The combination of lemon and black syrup is divine! (o^^o)
The pancakes' gentle sweetness combines perfectly with the tartness and bitterness of the lemon,
lending depth and richness from the black syrup, resulting in an exquisite taste (๑>◡<๑).
I also ordered the additional topping of raisin butter (JPY +300) on a separate plate,
but I found that drenching it with lemon and black syrup was the best way to enjoy it.
The fluffiness lasted until the very last bite, making it incredibly delicious!
Caramelized Banana (JPY 1,300, drink included):
This is another masterpiece made using the oven.
A whole banana is halved and baked in the oven, caramelized on the cut side,
then topped with cold ice cream and whipped cream, along with a generous serving of nuts,
all finished off with chocolate syrup—a guaranteed delight! (o^^o)
When you pop everything in your mouth, you first taste the cold sweetness of the ice cream,
followed by the concentrated sweetness of the banana that has been richly baked.
The rich sweetness and bitterness of the nuts and chocolate blend beautifully in your mouth!
Both dishes were incredibly delicious.
It was a great meal!
Please note that this café is generally open only on weekends and requires reservations, so make sure to call ahead!
If you found this helpful, please give it a thumbs up!
And if you don’t mind, I would appreciate a follow! m(_ _)m
