  The steak was consistently juicy and tender!! There are also three different steak sauces available; original, garlic onion, and wafuu (Japanese style) for those who want to play around with the taste.

• 

  Their roast beef combo is also to die for! It may looks like it's your regular tender roast beef over a bowl of rice, but we promise you it's unlike anything you've ever had before.

  We bought one for ourselves to eat at the hotel, but Bunmeido's castella also makes a great gift! For that reason, there's a 'Castella with a Message' section in a corner of the shop. If you put in a request one week in advanced, you can enter a name and/or message!

  "HOUSE OF ROSE" on the basement floor is a cosmetic brand whose main ingredients are natural.
  House of Rose cosmetics is developed to cherish all types of skin producing low irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, you should try some!

  For example, their #1 popular series Milcure Pure is a cosmetics series that moisturizes thoroughly using milk serum protein (whey) from cows who were fed natural grass in Hokkaido.

• 

  During our visit, there was also a cool mint cosmetics "Mintleap" series that is perfect for the hot summer season. The mint lip series is made of nine different kinds of natural oils with a refreshing fragrance such as lemon, mint, and rosemary. As it keeps your skin moisturized with plant-derived ingredients, you get a cooling sensation without the irritation since there's no alcohol added!
