Sweet Break with the Famous Jumbo Cream Puff
About this spot
A long-established restaurant café in Sasebo, founded shortly after the end of World War II. The specialty is their jumbo cream puff—a shell larger than a fist, generously filled with smooth custard cream. The moment it arrives at your table, you can't help but exclaim at its impressive appearance, and the tradition here is to slice and savor it with knife and fork. Their carefully simmered curry is another signature dish beloved by locals for generations. After hopping from burger to burger, settle in here for a sweet break and experience Sasebo's café culture in a relaxed setting.
Tips
The jumbo cream puff is quite filling, so after two burgers, sharing one puff is recommended. You can also purchase one to take home and enjoy at your accommodation. Since lunchtime draws curry enthusiasts and can get crowded, afternoon teatime is your best window for a calm visit.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Afternoon teatime, when lunch crowds have thinned, offers the most relaxed atmosphere.
