Ise, Mie, Japan｜茶房山中

A welcoming place with tea served with warmth. Re-opened after 3 years. Tried the kusamochi zenzai and Jindai mochi tea set. All good and not sweet. The houjicha and green tea is very fragrant. Priced very reasonably too. They served coffee and cake set and kakigori too. So a treat for everyone. Thank you.

Perfect spot to chill out. Smoking area is available in air conditioned room.

I have been going out to eat every summer since I was in elementary school. It's off the main street so you won't have to wait long. There are various types of shaved ice, but the strawberry shaved ice is especially delicious, and the syrup seeds have a nice texture. The ice is not the crunchy ice that comes out at festival stalls, but the ice that melts smoothly and is of high quality. There is a souvenir called Jindai Mochi, which is also delicious. If you come to Ise, you should definitely go. And for smokers. There is a smoking section here, so bring it with you to take a break. The inside of the store is very cool and comfortable.
