SUGiTORA
A family fruit shop stood on this site for over a century and closed in 2008. The son came back in 2017 and reopened it as a gelateria — having in the meantime represented Japan at the Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie and taken silver. About eight flavours at a time, changing with the season, and the shop closes when they run out.
