While strolling around near Dogo Onsen, I happened to come across this dessert shop. It looked so tempting from the outside that I couldn't resist going in for a taste!
The shop specializes in milk cheesecakes made with local ingredients from Ehime Prefecture. Its signature “Whole Mandarin Orange Cheesecake” is especially popular.
This time, I tried several mandarin orange desserts. Mandarin orange ice cream〜 The mandarin flavor was very rich, refreshing, and full of fruity aroma.
Whole mandarin orange mochi: It was like eating an entire mandarin orange. Sweet, tart, and juicy, with a very unique texture.
Mandarin orange cheesecake: It combines mandarin oranges with milk cheese. The rich milky flavor is balanced by the gentle sweetness and slight tartness of the fruit. The two flavors complement each other perfectly without overpowering one another.
Each dessert has its own distinctive character. You can taste the natural sweetness and fragrance of Ehime mandarin oranges along with the rich milky flavor. Although the prices are a little high, it's still worth treating yourself while traveling once in a while!
There is also a seating area in the back of the shop. If you're tired from walking around, you can sit down, rest, enjoy some dessert, and recharge. It was also quieter and more comfortable than I expected.
When visiting Dogo Onsen, besides soaking in the hot springs and exploring the shopping street, don't forget to stop here for something sweet! If you like mandarin oranges and cheese desserts, you may want to add this shop to your list!
