The fresh cream and strawberry ice cream are also exquisite. I only managed to eat about 20 strawberries during the strawberry picking, but this parfait was delicious. #gourmet

On the way back from visiting Ise, I stopped by "Kokekokko Republic". My purpose was to get some fresh eggs and, of course, "cream puffs"! Wow, the cream was so rich and delicious. I didn't have time to eat it, but next time I'd like to try the all-you-can-eat chicken yakiniku lunch with raw eggs. #gourmettrip #gourmet

🥢Gallery Panhaku 📍VISON, Mie This quiet, beautiful space regularly hosts solo artist exhibitions, showcasing antique and vintage tableware and carefully selected goods. A small window outside the gallery greets me. The soft serve ice cream sold through it is so cute, I was drawn to it. 💗 This time, I ordered the soft serve ice cream (500 yen). 📝 This pure white soft serve ice cream is made with milk delivered directly from a farm in Shiga Prefecture. 🍦 It looks beautiful, has a smooth texture, and the gentle sweetness of the milk is pleasant. It melts in your mouth cleanly and is absolutely delicious. 💕 The cone is also uniquely shaped and crispy with a fragrant aroma! It was delicious, and I never got bored of it until the very end. ◎ They also had a white cream soda, which I was really interested in. 🤍 It's the perfect cold treat to treat yourself to after a long day of walking around VISON. 🍦 The interior is decorated in a soft white theme, and the tableware and accessories are all stylish. ✨️ Everywhere you look, the taste is so good you'll find yourself staying for a while.

"Hotel Vison" in Taki-cho, Mie Prefecture, is located inside the resort facility "VISON". The room was simple, modern, open, and had a wonderful stylish atmosphere. It was clean, and the art in the building was also wonderful. At "Honshoyu", we enjoyed the open-air bath and sauna, and were able to fully relieve the fatigue of our trip. We went to a restaurant in the facility for breakfast, and the hotel's egg-on-rice is apparently famous for its deliciousness, and you can enjoy a menu that makes use of local ingredients. The staff were very kind and polite, and I felt that they cared about making sure we had a comfortable stay. The site is very large, so it may be a little inconvenient on rainy days, but there are plenty of restaurants, general stores, souvenir shops, and other stores, so we enjoyed our stay without getting bored. 📍Address: 672-1 Vison, Taki-cho, Taki-gun, Mie Prefecture 519-2170 #tripaccount #miehotel #mietourism
