Fruit Tea Room ver kLar

　When I visited Takayama as a child, it was a tourist destination, but apart from the Takayama Festival, there weren’t that many visitors.

　Now, however, it is constantly teeming with foreign tourists. There are more stylish cafés than ever, but they are often so crowded that you can’t get a seat.

　Located right next to the Miyagawa Morning Market, ‘Fruit Tea Room ver kLar’ is a hidden gem. The ground floor is a fruit shop, whilst the café is on the first floor, accessed via a staircase inside. Here, you can relax and enjoy some sweet treats whilst gazing out over the Miyagawa River.

　This time, I ordered a homemade ginger ale and a chocolate cake packed with fruit. The ginger ale, made by simmering ginger and adding spices, pairs perfectly with the desserts.
