    昨年から予約制となったのでようやく来店出来ました。それまではオープン3時間前には並ばないと入れないと聞いていたのでとても遠方で無理でした。ケーキは20種類程から5個ずつ食べられるので色々食べましたが全種類制覇は無理でした。ぴざなどもありますがケーキ以上に争奪戦となりあまり食べられないので早めに取る方が良さそうです。

Today, the temple is only open to the general public for worship twice a year in spring and fall—at all other times, worshipping at the temple requires an advance reservation.

    誕生日に主人がザッハトルテを買ってきてくれました。見た目は美味しそうなのですが、子供たちは美味しくない、好みじゃないと散々。周りのチョコレートはビターで美味しいのですが、中身のジャムがが気持ち悪いほど甘い。ケーキ屋が出来ての頃はすべてのケーキが本当に美味しかったのに、人気が出て店舗が増えた辺りから味が落ちている気がします。今回のザッハトルテははっきり言って不味いです。主人が申し訳なさそうにしていて...
