This time, I went with the
Shine Muscat Tart — 445 yen!

You probably can’t tell from this angle, but actually… before I could even snap a photo…

The Shine Muscat looked SO irresistible
that my son grabbed a bite right away! lol
Oh my goodness! lol
Well, I get it. Who could resist? lol

Not to be outdone by my son’s appetite, I dug in too.

Wow — delicious, sweet, easy to eat!
The Shine Muscat’s natural sweetness and gentle tartness make it incredibly refreshing,
and the tart crust has the perfect firmness — an absolute match made in heaven.

The cream layer in between is subtle yet supportive,
letting the fruit’s sweetness shine even more brilliantly.

And then it hit me:
aren’t these Shine Muscats HUGE?!

For just 445 yen, this is unbeatable value — I almost want to thank them.
With such generous portions of grapes, you’ll leave completely satisfied.

Being able to enjoy a luxurious seasonal cake at such an affordable price is pure happiness (*´Д｀)
