Atami, Shizuoka, Japan｜Japanese restaurant Hana-no-Chaya

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a hidden gem of a restaurant located in the MOA museum. Though the entrance may be inconspicuous, the restaurant is nothing short of amazing. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the beautiful view of the garden through the large window. The tatami area was also a nice touch, offering customers the choice to sit on a traditional tatami mat or a regular chair. The set menu was a standout feature for me, despite there only being two options. I opted for the sashimi set, and it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were clearly sourced locally and were in season, adding to the overall freshness of the meal. I appreciated the thought and care put into the menu and wouldn't be surprised if it changes frequently. The restaurant itself was peaceful, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Despite the fact that some of them were elderly, their service was not compromised in the slightest. It felt like I was being served by a friendly grandma who genuinely cared about my enjoyment of the meal. One thing I absolutely loved about the restaurant was the local sake they provided. The presentation was cute and unique, and I was given the opportunity to choose my own cup. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique dining experience. The combination of the beautiful view, delicious food, and friendly staff make for an unforgettable meal.

A Japanese restaurant in the inner garden of the museum. The amount of food is a little unsatisfactory, but you can feel it every time you put it in your mouth as the soup stock is carefully prepared and the ingredients are carefully selected. Are the rice and vegetables pesticide-free? strong taste. The juices and alcoholic beverages offered here can be purchased at the organic store next to the front entrance of the museum, so it's good to buy them as souvenirs.

I received fries. Everything is delicious! Cabbage and orange dressing Grated radish, rice, and miso soup. The fries are also crispy. And I happened to be seated outside. I was able to enjoy a relaxing meal while looking at the garden! Since it was Saturday, there was a bit of a wait. Since the rotation is good, you shouldn't have to wait too long ^ ^
