Aridagawa, Wakayama, Japan｜HERB+CAFE

I had No9 (St. John’s Wort, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Roasted green tea) blended herbal tea with chai flavor and a Macha banana cake on the photo. They were delicately well-balanced and it was perfect for an afternoon tea and dessert. I also ordered pizza to go for our dinner which was totally still delicious even after getting cold. They have interesting combinations of pizza like Miso + Tomato. It came with lots of fresh greens with some herbs in a separate plastic case. It was like eating salad pizza, which I love to do. There is a free parking but it is easy to miss. So, you should look into a white sign with the cafe’s name on it with small letters. Also, the cafe is in a residential area and you need to drive through a narrow path to get there. However it makes the cafe more of a hidden secret place, and once you can get into the cafe, you will enjoy a Japanese minimalistic style, modern but with a bit of a rustic style in the interior design. I would love to go back to have lunch for sure!

Delicious, healthy food served by kind, generous people in a beautifully designed space. Original selection of herbal teas too.

Excellent place, both lunch plate and pizzas are amazing. I really recommend trying at least once if you come by around there.
