    ロールケーキが美味しいお店です。今までに10回以上訪れていますが、毎回チョコレートのロールケーキがないです。予約すれば作って貰えるのかと思ってお願いすると、6本からしか予約はできないと言われて・・・お店の人に聞くと、美味しいんですけどねと言うだけで本当に作っているのか疑問です。売ってないもののメニューを載せるのは、やめた方がいいと思います。

Oita Areas

around-area-map

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
