On the third floor of a building that blends in with the townscape in Fuchi-cho, Oita City, is a modern store. Opened in December 2022, the creative space "mazeru" is a gallery where art works can be sold and exhibited, along with a café space.
The gallery space displays and sells the works of various artists.
We only put what we like here.
These are the words of Tatsuki Inoue, owner of mazeru, and his wife Yasuko. True to their words, the artwork on display in the store and the sweets served in the café space are filled with their "likes" and "commitment.
The butter-filled scones come in two types: moist and crunchy. You can enjoy different textures.
Soft serve ice cream cones are hand-baked, one by one.
Yasuko-san's favorite soft-serve ice cream is one of the most popular menu items. However, she says it takes a little time to serve it. This is because the cones are baked by hand on a plate after receiving an order. Isn't that a little bit difficult? But it definitely tastes better this way," Tatsuki says.
He is right, the freshly baked cones are very fragrant, crispy, and delicate in flavor. There are many soft-serve ice cream stores in Japan, but not many of them serve hand-baked cones.
Corn is grilled by hand after ordering. Even the molding is done by hand.
For first-time visitors, the sundae is recommended. In addition to hand-baked cones, you can taste all the popular sweets offered at the cafe, including soft-serve ice cream and scones.

We want to create our own culture in Oita.
I want to create our own culture in Oita," says Mr. Ryuki. The name "mazeru" was inspired by the idea that this place is a space where various people and things mix and mingle.
Tatsuki and his wife Yasuko say, "We want to share our values with many different people and create something together with people we think are wonderful.
The owner and his wife are not only interested in using the café, but also in viewing the artwork, so why don't you pay them a visit? You will be pleasantly stimulated by the "love and commitment" of the owner and his wife.
