Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜わらく茶屋茶迎館

The shop owners are super nice. They helped us order a taxi and offered free samples to try.

Probably before opening? However, I only bought the soft serve ice cream early. I was healed by a cat that happened to be there ♪ It's definitely a lucky cat. I hope I can buy some souvenirs next time! thank you!

Chafuku beans (amatto) are additive-free and delicious. The pickled radish is also pretty good. When you pass in front of the shop, you will be forcibly offered tea and pickled radish. If you accept this, you won't be able to leave without buying anything. However, the tea fuku beans and pickled radish were cheap and tasted better than I expected. Without this, it would have received a poor rating. Three bags of Chafuku beans cost 1,000 yen, so I ended up buying six bags. As a result, I was able to buy some nice souvenirs, and since I was just about to buy a plastic bottle of tea, I was able to drink the tea for free, and I was also able to sample a lot of tea, which completely turned into a high evaluation. The tea utensils seem to be cheap, so I think it's a good store if you go in with the intention of buying souvenirs. The food seemed strange.
