Original Parfait Making Experience (Yusa): Make your own original parfait with freshly picked cherries together with the chefs at Yusa. The chef will provide thorough instruction, so even children who have never made sweets before can participate with confidence. The completed parfait can be enjoyed by the whole family. The special dessert made by your child will make the memories of your trip even more special. ■Yuyu no Sato Yusa’s concept and passion for fruit nutrition education ~With 150 years of Yamagata fruit history~ Yusa offers its customers a special time away from their daily lives with the facility concept of “orchard x craft x cafe”.
