Christmas / New Year Holiday
Please note we'll be closed over the Christmas/New Year period from December 25th to January 8th.
We'll be open again as usual from January 9th.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Christmas Wreath
This year's Christmas Wreath, supplied as always by Country Farm ANDY of Wakamatsu-cho.
Cottage Pie
New from last week (but we didn't have time to blog it,) a revamped Cottage Pie offering.
It's surprising that even in Japan many people know this as Shepherds Pie... but there is a difference between Cottage and Shepherd's Pie.
Do you know what it is?
Shortbread Fingers
Back on the menu, after a very long pause.
We've finally secured a steady supply of butter and I've tweaked the recipe a little to produce the finest shortbread time after time.
Cake Signboard
Not content with refreshing our Cafe Signboard the other week, we cracked open the marker pens again and had a go at the Cake Signboard.
I think it looks much more appealing than the previous effort!
Handless Tea Pouring
As seen on the ever popular Japanese TV programme Sekai No Hate Made ItteQ!
"No hands Tea Pouring!"
DON'T TRY THIS IN THE THREE LITTLE PIGS!!!!
Mushroom & Bacon Quiche
New from this week, Mushroom & Bacon Quiche.
Perfect combination of Shiitake, Shimeji, and Common Mushrooms together with bacon and cream cheese, all encased in a slightly reworked pastry case.
Enjoy!
Cafe Signboard
With all the bad weather we've been having recently, our drink menu had washed away.
So it was time to refresh, thanks to T-san for your good efforts. Looks great.

New Menu: Sandwich Plate
Something new for this week, our lunch sandwich plate.
Soft bagette sandwich, soup, dessert and your choice of drink.
All yours for 1,100yen.
Bon appetit!
Darvilles of Windsor
Just a quick taster of something we are very excited about here in The Three Little Pigs.
Over the summer we decided to expand our tea range, and during our search for new offerings stumbled across the Darvilles of Windsor range of teas.
Previously only available at leading department stores and specilaist stockists in Japan, we are now the first tea shop in Japan to offer their teas for general consumption.
We'll be writing more about Darvilles soon, in English and Japanese, but in the meantime if you want to try the Darvilles offering we're doing pots of English Breakfast, Assam, Darjeeling, Lemon & Ginger, Camomile or Raspberry & Hibiscus for 500 yen per pot.
Personally my favourite so far has been the Lemon & Ginger. Delicious!
We're Open
Our summer break has finished and we're back to work from today.
Open today from 11:30 to 18:00 for lunch, cakes, scones, teas, coffees, beer and wine.
Hope to see you soon.
Pineapple
Last week our flower window display from Country Farm ANDY (カントリーファームアンディ) included mini pineapples.
Not sure whether these mini pineapples are edible but we do have Pineapple and Coconut cake on the menu now!
