I am driven crazy by a dog and his name is SNOOPY.
Snoopy, one of my favorite character is currently being exhibited at Roppongi Hills. At this Snoopy exhibition which showcases 100 original drawings and sketches by Charles Monrole Schulz, the public can also get a glimpse at the original sketches of his early work "Lil Folks", past collaboration works with brands and artists, as well as vintage figures popular amongst core fans. But perhaps something even better is that many restaurants are collaborating with Snoopy and came out with special Snoopy food.

Honestly, it was not easy to toast the marshmallow over a small candle because I am impatient and place the marshmallow straightaway over the fire, causing it to be charred black in less than 8 seconds. A S'more is supposedly a cookie sandwich with gooey marshmallow and chocolate. The most delicious part is actually the cactus cookie and the sweet vanilla ice cream.

『スヌーピー展限定 あずきとカカオのガトー』￥840
At modern Japanese sweets Toraya cafe which specializes in red bean paste chocolate gateau, it has come with a "Peanuts Version" ￥840.Peanut paste is blended into the cake batter and baked. Compared to the original version, it is less chocolatey and sticky. Perhaps also due to peanuts, the texture leans on the dry side but the scoop of peanut cream was light.

| Where's SNOOPY? |
He's hiding at the back!
Snoopy and Woodstock Tea Time Platter（￥1000）is a caffe latte printed with Woodstock's face and a warm chocolate chip muffin. This is the only cafe that did a coffee art but would be ideal if they can do snoopy face. But the coffee brew was pretty robust.

ハニーナッツとピーナッツバターのホットサンド ￥900
チャーリーブラウンが食べているピーナッツクリームのサンドウィッチをイメージ。パンの表面にココアでスヌーピーを描きはちみつ漬けのナッツとピーナッツバターをはさんで、けやき坂ベーカリーで人気のホットサンドにアレンジしました。
This dish puts my Snoopy quest to a satisfying end and I don't know why they make me even more excited than when I visited themed cafes.
If you can try, which is the dish you want to have?
