I have been to Sagano a few times across the years. My first few visits around 2004-2008 had been splendid. The food was nicely served and the portions were of the right size.
I went back for the winterlicious 2012 and I was deeply disappointed. There was nothing particularly attractive with the food and was not worth the price anymore. In the past, they would have decorated the ice cream with a waffle bowl and a beautiful drizzled image on the side. Now they simply serve the ice cream in a regular bowl.
The scenery is beautiful though, I must compliment on that.
