Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan｜La Table de Izumi

I had an errand nearby, so I made a reservation and went! The restaurant is not large, so it fills up quickly with customers. They seem to be popular and come here all the time. First of all, the dishes are elaborately arranged. A lot of vegetables! The scones are small, so you can eat them quickly. I was surprised by the amount of scones eaten by the aunts next door... Although the price is high, the all-you-can-eat scones and all-you-can-drink tea are the prices that women can afford. There was a large family, but I think men might not feel like eating. I bought a lot of scones as souvenirs, frozen them, and baked them in a toaster! I want to go again.

I stopped by when I went to Oarai on a family trip. We arrived about 40 minutes after opening, but since we didn't have a reservation, we waited for an hour and a half to two hours. I had another appointment, so I bought some as a souvenir, heated it up at home, and ate it. It was so delicious that I was disappointed that I couldn't eat it at the restaurant. I would like to make a reservation next time I go. It was a feast.

Both the food and the scones are very delicious. It's fun because there are many kinds of tea to choose from. The souvenir scones of the month sell out quickly, so it might be better to buy them as soon as you enter the store.
