Stylish and slightly nostalgic appearance, cute camellia-patterned uniforms, retro lettering and coloring.
The "Fruit Town Soft Cream Parlor," overflowing with Taisho romance, is a takeout-only shop at the entrance of the Bikan Historical Area.
The signature product is the original soft cream made with plenty of fruit juice from Okayama Prefecture!
The lineup includes authentic products that you wouldn't expect from a takeout-only shop, such as mini parfaits and trifles loaded with fruit.
A casual yet exceptionally delicious "Fruit Town Soft Cream Parlor."
Why not head out for a stroll in the Bikan Historical Area with a sweet treat full of fruit in hand?
Retro and Cute Taisho Romance! Fruit Town Soft Cream Parlor
The charming retro lettering of the "Fruit Town Soft Cream Parlor."
For the author who loves Taisho romance, this shop is irresistible.
Thanks to its prime location at the entrance of the Bikan Historical Area, customers stop by one after another, regardless of weekdays or weekends.
The shop is equipped with a resting area and Western-style toilets.
Although it is a takeout-only shop, the interior is beautifully detailed.
In line with the Taisho romance concept, the same "William Morris" design wallpaper is used as in the sister shop, Parlor Fruit Town.
Speaking of Fruit Town, the camellia-adorned uniforms are also adorable.
The original design of the uniforms, inspired by the "camellia" loved by Okayama's representative painter "Takehisa Yumeji," is also worn at Parlor Fruit Town.
Designed in a two-piece kimono style, they fit perfectly with the streetscape of the Bikan Historical Area and are very lovely.
The theme of "Taisho romance" is unified across the uniforms, lettering, and store design.
A Menu Rich in Fruits from Okayama, the Fruit Kingdom. Seasonal Limited Products Available
The signature menu of Fruit Town is undoubtedly the soft cream that you can't taste anywhere else.
The three types of soft cream use juice from Okayama Prefecture: Shimizu white peach, Muscat of Alexandria, and Pione grapes.
Each soft cream contains over 45% juice extracted from seasonal fruits.
As the name "Fresh Fruit" suggests, you can even feel the tartness of the fruit in the soft cream.
Additionally, all soft creams use fresh milk from Jersey cows in Hiruzen, Okayama Prefecture, making the milk soft cream exceptionally delicious.
It is said that the original soft cream of Fruit Town was developed over two years through trial and error by a chef from France.
Even though it is a takeout-only shop, there is a wide variety of menu items available.
There are cream sodas, smoothies, handheld parfaits, pinchos, mini tarts, and more, all generously using fruit, so be sure to try something other than the soft cream.
At the storefront, original masking tape from Fruit Town is also on sale.
At the storefront of Parlor Fruit Town and Fruit Town Soft Cream Parlor, there are three designs available: "Komachi Antique" pattern and "Parfait Camellia" pattern featuring the logo, as well as the "Waiting for the Night Bamboo Grove" pattern featuring the bamboo garden of Kurashiki Yoi-machi GARDEN.
Each design is so cute that you’ll want to take a closer look.

Perfect Combination of Fruit Tartness and Soda: Komachi Cream Soda
As of the interview in April 2022, they mainly offer "strawberries," but seasonal fruits change depending on the time of year.
The soft cream is said to be available year-round.
I will have the recommended "Komachi Cream Soda" for 600 yen (tax included).
This luxurious cream soda comes with seasonal fruits and fresh fruit soft cream.
The combination of soft cream and soda can be freely changed, but the basic patterns are as follows.
[White Peach Soft]
・Beach Soda Flavor
・Calpis Peach Soda Flavor
・Lychee Soda Flavor
[Muscat Soft]
・Green Apple Soda Flavor
・Passion Pine Soda Flavor
・Cassis Soda Flavor
[Pione Soft]
・Calpis Soda Flavor
[Jersey Milk Soft]
・Banana Soda Flavor
I thought cream soda was only a seasonal menu for hot weather, but it seems to be sold year-round.
While walking around the Bikan Historical Area, it would be refreshing to have something to quench your thirst.
Enjoy Rich Milk Soft Cream with Handheld Parfait
Next, we have the signature menu item, the "Handheld Parfait," priced at 600 yen (including tax), which features soft serve ice cream and fruit.
The soft serve ice cream is delicious on its own, but it becomes luxurious with the addition of fruit and jelly.
As a takeout shop, the compact parfait is perfect for walking around the city.
- Matcha (with kinako, black sesame shiratama, and mildly sweet red bean)
- Strawberry (with strawberry sauce, strawberry jelly, and ripe strawberries)
- Orange & Pineapple (with mango sauce and mango orange jelly)
So Cute You'd Feel Bad Eating It: Komachi's Mini Tart
Although it is shown on a plate in the photo, it is usually served in a plastic case.
Finally, I had the "Komachi's Mini Tart" for 400 yen (including tax).
At the time of the interview, there were three types on the menu.
Not only are they all made with plenty of fruit, but they also look so cute that you'd feel bad eating them.
- Strawberry Mini Tart
- Kiwi and Strawberry Mini Tart
- Orange and Pineapple Mini Tart
For Your Stroll, Enjoy Sweets from "Fruit Komachi's Soft Serve Parlor"

Of course, you can also enjoy the parfait while walking. I will try strolling around the Bikan Historical Area with a parfait in hand next time.
Fruit Komachi's soft serve has a unique and special flavor that sets it apart from others.
If you come to Okayama Prefecture, known for its delicious fruit, you might want to try the soft serve ice cream and parfait made with locally produced fruit juice.
