Shimada, Shizuoka, Japan｜カフェレストラン丸尾原

This matcha-theme restaurant was surprisingly underrated. Though there wasn’t much choice in the menu, each dish incorporated matcha and Japanese green tea one way or another. We highly recommended this restaurant after visiting the museum next door but beware the opening hours as it closed at 2pm.

2023-09-15(Fri) 12:15 - 13:30 I have often used the souvenir shop on the 1st floor, but this was my first time here. It seems like it's always crowded on weekends and holidays, but on weekdays, both the 1st and 2nd floors were pretty empty, so it was very comfortable. This time, I ordered a tea soba + pork kakuni mini bowl set (1,580 yen) and a comparison of three types of today's tea (500 yen). The tea soba noodles are firm and chewy, and the dipping sauce has a perfect bonito flavor, so I think it will really hit home for people who like Japanese noodles. I thought it was a very good dish that made you feel that Makinohara Tea Garden + the big fishing ports of Yaizu and Omaezaki are close. For the price of 500 yen, you can taste three different types of tea in a leisurely manner surrounded by the mountains of the Shimada/Fujieda city area and the Oigawa River overlooking the vast sky 200 meters below. , I thought it was the real thrill. In order to fully enjoy the above, you must have good weather and avoid the crowds on weekends and holidays. . (´･ω･｀)ゞ Personally, I thought, ``It's great to see the Tea City Museum on weekdays.'' *The following is redundant, but it is my impressions of tasting three types of tea. Matsuju Tanegashima: When you swirl the glass, the scent is slightly sweet, pure and untainted, like the smile of a quiet toddler. However, when you drink it, you can feel the rich flavor of the tea leaves with a slight astringency that presses against the outer edge of your tongue. The flavor lingers considerably, so even tea lovers can enjoy the satisfying aftertaste. CRAFT BREW TEA MT.FUJI: I am familiar with the ``Shizuoka ancient Yabukita scissors deep steamed tea'', but it has a high quality and sophisticated aroma and taste. Compared to the Kyushu Secha leaves from Kagoshima and Miyazaki that I received during the three types of tea tasting that day, the color is a clearer light green, and as if to reflect that, it has a smooth taste rather than umami or weight. The smooth sweetness of the tea leaves and the refreshing aroma that hits your nose create a balance that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable at all. In my opinion, it is probably the most standard type of tea that everyone likes. If I had to compare it to something like this, it would be ``extremely high quality and delicious tea''. Kirari 31 Kushima: When you swirl the glass, you can smell the aroma, you can feel the thickness of the body, and it has a strong alcoholic flavor like fruit wine or wine. The mouthfeel retains that same feeling, as if it's taking its own place in your mouth, with a strong flavor and body that is unparalleled for tea. The strength of the aftertaste that lingers on the tongue and in the back of the nasal cavity is also perfect. Although he is admired for his virtues, he does not tolerate any compromise or opposition, and has characteristics reminiscent of Sengoku period warlords and outstanding politicians.

We had lunch at a seat by the window. It was nice and open, overlooking the garden and tea fields. The tea soba was also very tasty, and the wasabi was also good. The volume was just right for us. I bought tea soba noodles as a souvenir.
