Look at this French Toast. It's so adorable.
Everything is super fresh and homemade.

We made it! We were supposed to come to my friend's cafe when she opened a little over a year ago
but she caught a really terrible flu so...
about a year and a half later, we're here. We're out in the middle of Kashiwa
kind of like on the countryside and she opened up a cafe on her property
because her parents used to have a shiitake (mushroom) farm
but they don't have that anymore so now they have this really beautiful cafe that we're about to go to.
Yeah it's really nice here and they open at 9:00 a.m. and they only open up on a few days on the weekends
Yeah because she still works during the week so she does this on the weekends with her family, this cafe.
But it's like it really is in like the country but it's a beautiful area.
There's already like... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Like 8 cars and it's only it's only been open for like 30 minutes so they're doing really good.
Yeah, they're doing really well business wise.
But we're walking up the stairs right now. If you turn around, you can kinda see the countryside.
Yeah... very, very country Japan. And then we're going up these stairs to her a cafe
Hi!!
Haha, there's a dog!

Look at this French Toast. It's so adorable.
Everything is super fresh and homemade. A lot of the produce is local.
So the desserts right now, it's strawberry season,
so they get their strawberries from the local farmer next door.
Because we're in a very country area... countryside. So everything is like, if you want something fresh,
they can get it from their neighbor's farm... yeah, it's pretty awesome.
It looks really good. Everything does look fresh and we just saw one of their desserts go out
and they make their whip cream from scratch and it just looks amazing. I can't wait to try their dessert.
I know, I can't wait to try their dessert too.
And then they have like a nice look-out area... it's like in the country but it's still nice.
They have these binoculars so you can look out to the pond and stuff.

How is everything? Good?
Yeah.
Dad, how is everything?
Okay.
Okay? Haha...
That means "super good".
Yeah that means "super good" in Dad's terms. Hahaha!
Mom, how is everything?
Good!
I like it a lot. I really like the bread.
What do you think?
So it's amazing. They have a little sausage and salad
and yogurt I think this is? Yeah, yogurt.
It's really, really good.
♪♪ MUSIC ♪♪
This strawberry is seriously amazing. Everybody is amazed with how good this strawberry is. Right?
Right? Right? Hahaha!
Ok, now they're not reacting, hahaha!
CINDY (little sister): We're not sure if we should talk on this...
But yeah, it takes like natural sugar... haha
CANDY: Because when I panned the camera...
Everybody was like... HAHAHA!
CINDY: This whip cream is really good.
But yeah, this whip cream is, you know, homemade too. They just made this and so
with that paired with the sweet strawberries, it's so amazing. It's really, really good.
There's like custard in the middle of this with like the strawberries and whipped cream
and... I don't know what this is. It's like some kind of...
CINDY: It looks like the melon bread we bought in Asakusa.
It looks like melon bread but it's some kind of big pastry. Then, of course, their amazing local strawberries.
The strawberry farm is actually not that far from here and that's where they get them from.

We just finished our meal and we're on our way home now and I really really enjoyed everything.
I actually was so... I don't think I've ever actually had real fresh strawberries
because it tasted so different and the texture was... it almost kinda melts in your mouth.
Like the first bite. And that strawberry that they use there is local.
It's actually the local farmer next door.
So I actually saw one of the servers go down there and bring up a fresh batch of strawberries
to put in the desserts.
Yeah, they're bright red and our mom actually described it the best.
She said there's no sourness to it. So it's all sweet.
Yeah that's what it was... it tasted like it already had sugar on it
but it was completely...there's no sugar added. It was very, very sweet and juicy.
And that was the first time I ever really tasted like... oh, this is what a strawberry is supposed to taste like.
Yeah, that's what it should taste like. Those are like the fresh... It's in season right now too.
The bread is also from a local bakery so that was really good too
and the egg... my egg was amazing. Even the little salad was really fresh.
I know. It looked so fresh that it looked fake.
I know, it did almost look fake. Um, the jam was really, really good and I mixed it with my yogurt.
Even though I think it's probably for the bread. I just put it in my yogurt because it's was so good.
Yeah, that was good too.
And the french toast was super fluffy and it wasn't sweet. That's what I like about french toast
if it's not sweet. I just want the syrup to be sweet and that's how it was.
Right. And earlier I said it was like the best french toast I had and my dad made fun of me.
He's like, "Really? Seriously? The best French Toast?"
He didn't believe her! Hahaha!
No, I really meant it. I sincerely meant ti was the best French Toast I've ever had.
It's amazing what they did with the place.
Yes, and it's a big deck. Because a lot things in Japan are small...
but it's a big wide, open space. It's got a great view of just the countryside of Japan.
Right. And I like the countryside.
Yeah and they did also put in a sakura tree.
So if you do come during that season, you'll see... there's a table there where
the cherry blossoms are hanging over and it's really pretty.
