drippin churros

A gluten-free churros shop, located inside Train-Che in Jiyugaoka. It's called a "dip churros specialty shop," but the small churros don't come with dip sauce — instead, you choose a sugar flavor sprinkled onto the churros. For the large churros you choose a dip sauce, but the churros flavor (sugar) is plain only. I chose the seasonal pumpkin dip sauce. Since I usually cut out sweets, I expected regular desserts to feel intensely sweet and braced myself, but this was surprisingly fine. The interior has an L-shaped bench along the wall connecting all seats, six round tables in front of it, and about five round stools — not many seats, but there are three terrace seats just outside the entrance. Cafes get crowded on weekends due to the location, but this shop's entrance is somewhat tucked away, making it a hidden gem. I had been passing by every month and didn't notice the gluten-free signboard either, so this might be the savior when struggling to find a cafe.
