Otaki, Chiba, Japan｜農園食堂 and カフェ 膳所 zendokoro

Lovely place, delicious food. Plates are very copious.

I received the Seiro Gozen. It's a directly managed store by Scoop Farm, so the food was made with fresh vegetables and was very delicious. The texture was crunchy and I could really feel the sweetness of the vegetables. The atmosphere inside the restaurant has been renovated to resemble an old folk house, with relaxing background music playing, and the atmosphere alone was soothing. The garden is spacious and there are tables set up outside, so next time I thought it would be nice to enjoy my meal while feeling the breeze. I would definitely like to visit you again.

Sunday, September 3, 2023 12:00 I had been curious about this shop since I had seen it on Instagram. First visit after driving. I called in advance the day before to reserve a seat before visiting. It's located a short distance from downtown Otaki along a rice field road. There seems to be about 10 parking spaces in total, and the frontage is wide, which is unusual for an old folk house cafe like this. The store has been beautifully renovated and feels nice. There were about 6 chairs and 3 tables in the tatami room. There seemed to be two or three tables in the separate room. There were only about 2 groups of customers ahead of us, so I thought it would have been nice to not have to make a reservation, but by around 12:30, the place was full, so I think it would be a good idea to go early or make a reservation. Seiro Gozen seemed to be on sale, but since I was hungry and wanted to eat a lot, I ordered the noodles first. "Gozen" (1,100 yen including tax) of "Mung bean noodles with water spinach and jellyfish (vermicelli)...Asian taste of shrimp and tuna" Large serving (+200 yen). The thread is Gozen (1,100 yen including tax) is a ``nostalgic Neapolitan''. In addition to the main dish, Gozen comes with a small side dish and soup. It arrived about 25 minutes after ordering. Well, the volume was unexpected for a cafe like this. I got a large portion without expecting much, but it seems like it would be a light serving for two people. This is a happy miscalculation. Tsure's Neapolitan was also a normal portion, but I couldn't finish it all and had to eat the rest. As for the taste, mung bean noodles have an Asian flavor, so this is my first time trying them. It's delicious, but you may either like it or hate it. There are quite a lot of vegetables in it, so I feel like I'm eating something good for my body. Neapolitan is also full of vegetables and has a refreshing taste. Is delicious. By the way, the soup seemed to have been forgotten, and when I asked for it, it came later, but it is usually served before the main course. After the meal, I ordered a cafe latte (200 yen) as a set drink and "corn pudding" (350 yen) as a set sweet. I liked the strong corn flavor and the new texture. I was nervous because it was a restaurant that had many pros and cons, but in the end it turned out to be a restaurant that I quite liked. Recommended for people who want to eat lots of fresh vegetable dishes. Thank you for the meal.
