One bite and the egg was incredibly soft and melty—definitely a dish worth repeating. The combination of ketchup rice and demi‑glace sauce is a classic, and I finished it in no time. If you love fluffy omelet rice, this is a must‑try♪

A must‑try item: Angel Pudding

If you visit soraniwa CAFE & BBQ, you absolutely cannot miss the signature Angel Pudding! Made with eggs from Hanzawa Poultry Farm in Tendo, this original pudding features a silky cream topped with a white chocolate “angel wing”—adorable and elegant.

The texture is smooth and melt‑in‑your‑mouth, with a rich egg flavor that brings happiness with every bite. Knowing each pudding is handmade by a craftsman makes the deliciousness even more convincing. It’s also available for takeout, making it a perfect gift♪

Rich Hokkaido soft‑serve ice cream

If you’re craving something cold, the Hokkaido soft‑serve ice cream is highly recommended! The black cone adds a stylish touch and makes it perfect for photos. The soft‑serve has a rich milk flavor, yet the sweetness is balanced and the aftertaste refreshing. A must‑try for fans of rich, creamy soft‑serve♪
