▶️Takoya's new style store
AOYA CAMPAGNE
I stopped by because I wanted to try the world's first bean paste bar.
▶️The building was designed by architect Kengo Kuma.
Its stylish exterior makes it stand out.
▶️Inside the store, Japanese sweets are lined up at the front, and there is also an anko bar. The restaurant area is at the back.
For takeout, you can enjoy the anko bar's anko galettes, fried monaka, smoothies, anko soft serve ice cream, and more.
The anko bar has a variety of different kinds of bean paste in a wooden box.
Amazing! There are 12 different kinds of bean paste alone!!
Until now, when you had to choose anko, you only had three choices: grain bean paste, smooth bean paste, or white bean paste, so it's exciting to have so many options.
▶️The restaurant has a high ceiling and a warm wooden space.
It's spacious and you can enjoy your meal at your own pace.
The image is of a campagne with a rural landscape
Unique menu items such as the recommended campagne special plate, red bean paste cheese fondue, and toast fondue
Other dishes include pasta, omelet rice, etc.
All the dishes are made with plenty of "shrimp veggie" vegetables grown by Ebihara-san in Shimotsuke City, Tochigi Prefecture, and were very delicious.
Each dish comes with a pudding, appetizer, soup, etc.
You can also choose the red bean paste topping for your pudding, and I chose chestnut bean paste. It was so delicious!
Drinks such as strawberry lemonade and red bean paste smoothie also looked really delicious.
There was also a drive-thru.
