Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan｜カフェ＆レストラン周

It is a cafe restaurant located in the place where you pass through the Matsugaoka residence and go down the forest of Totoro. I've known about its existence for several years, but this was my first visit. Although it is far from the station, it is safe because there are 7 or 8 parking lots. Even at noon on weekdays, the restaurant is full, including reserved seats. Wait 20 minutes until entering the store although it is not lined up. This will line up for the holidays. The interior of the store has a stylish country chic atmosphere. Cozy with the surrounding location. There was also a terrace seat. Is this time good? ^_^ The lunch menu is a pasta set or a pizza set. Each comes with a salad and a drink. I'm glad that you can change the size of pizza and pasta. While wondering what to order, I ordered eggplant and bacon tomato sauce (pizza) and shrimp and tomato fettuccine. Since the order was asked at the time of waiting to enter the store, the offer was smooth. Arrived without waiting 10 minutes. The pizza is thick and slightly sweet and chewy! I felt that the deliciousness of the dough stood out more than the ingredients and sauce. It's like bread. It's more satisfying to eat than crispy dough and it's my favorite taste. Of course the pasta is delicious. Fettuccine, which looks like flat noodles, is easy to eat because it is well entwined with the sauce. This makes me want to try various menus. All of them are delicious and the texture sensor is reacting lol Enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of Tokorozawa while enjoying Italian food was the best. The surrounding area is rich in nature, including Lake Tama and Mt. Hachikoku, so I would like to enjoy it together. Thank you for the meal!

A laid-back atmosphere located in a little back alley. This is a local shop that people stop by on their way to the nearby Suitengu Shrine or while taking a walk.

Today's restaurant "Shu" is located next to Totoro Forest No. 2. It is a stylish restaurant with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere and terrace seating. This time I went for lunch. There was also a pasta set (1100 yen), but today I'm in the mood for pizza (^^) So, I got the ``prosciutto and arugula pizza'' from the pizza set (1200 yen). The set comes with a salad and a drink. The pizza has a lot of arugula on it which is good. The prosciutto adds a nice salty taste, and the cheese is delicious too! This pizza is a thin-walled pizza, but they also have thick-walled pizzas. I had a pumpkin tart (240 yen) for dessert. I like it because it's not too sweet and carefully made. It's not big, but I'm satisfied with it as a dessert. There is also a parking lot, so if you are coming from a distance, you can park your car. They also have take-out service, so please give us a call. Why not have some tea on your way home from your walk in Totoro's Forest?
