Ishiya Choco Factory
I love this place. It’s almost like a mini theme park inside a classy building. It’s got western style gates, a grand staircase, and the soothing dessert buffet. You get to see all the dessert chefs at work behind the glass walls that make up the bakery, while tasting the finely crafted desserts. Best of all, admission is free (Pay for the buffet).
“Factory Factory Factory”
I tuned this picture red for my own liking. The original colour of the building does not fit with the rest of the street.
Somehow there’s an excess amounts of powerlines running on the streets surrounding the chocolate factory. Must all be connected to their animatronic clock, and the six giant speakers that pumps out disturbingly wholesome lahlahlah-ing song.
“it’s..closed”
That’s what this picture is trying to trick you into thinking. The factory was open. This was just a side gate. I guess they open it when the nekobus comes.
“chip chop away”
This special cake is freshly cut when you ask for it. They also give you the sauce to your liking. After about 2 hours they throw the un-served portions away and bring out a new roll.
“Desserts Desserts Desserts”
v
Most of the cakes are not so heavy. They’re really light and lives up to the Ishiya name. They don’t make it heavy or extra sweet like what the chinese buffet people would to do in Richmond.
“Cakes”
With the buffett you’re free to go up and ask for any cake you want.
“Everything else”
Sandwiches, chocolates, puddings, and what else are over there.
“So.. painful..”
This is shyaarii at her very last piece of chocolate. It’s really heavy, I gotta admit. Not sure if she actually ate that piece, or put it back down. She went and get icecream soon after, tho.
“I don’t think i should move”
This is stibu contemplating. People don’t usually smile when they’re in deep thoughts. I’m sure that grin is just the semi-permanent side effect of the buffet.
“chill, have some tea”
And I’m just all relaxed, having tea like a gentleman I am.
“Mona Lisa”
She’s great. Always grinning.
“Atom”
He’s great too.
“The grand staircase”
It’s great.
Why is my photo posterized?
I really don’t mind getting a programming job @ ishiya.
holy crap. i did a lot of things right in Hokkaido, but i did the choco factory all wrong.
1) I paid admission.
2) I wandered though endless passageways of chocolate history that were totally skewed to make it would like the cocoa bean is the holy grail of the food world.
3) I opted for a simple peice of cake instead of the dessert buffet.
I am STUUUUUUPID!
Those photos make me want to go back and gorge on interesting delights!
take me next time you go!
what is posterized?
the first thing a programmer should do at ishiya is rewrite the animatronics software.
no. the first thing a programmer should do at Ishiya is write a virus for their animatronics. Make the chefs attack each other and stab the odd passer-by.
