Mito, Ibaraki, Japan｜Norah's Cafe

Nice cafe with friendly staff and good food within walking distance of Kairakuen.

On a Sunday in November, I went to Nora's Cafe, which I had wanted to go to for a while along the nearby route for viewing autumn leaves. I wasn't able to go because of the timing, so I was glad that I was able to fit in. The dilapidated iron signboard, the renovated old house, and the casually placed objects are all wonderful. And I feel relieved. I had a slightly luxurious lunch with pasta and dessert. Pasta lunch includes an appetizer and coffee. All the appetizers had a certain taste and I liked them. Definitely goes well with white wine! ! The pasta with tomato sauce is the best I've ever had. Fresh and moderately salty. The seasonal pasta is pumpkin and sweet potato cream pasta. The creamy sweetness and black pepper accent were exquisite. Whatever I ate was delicious. I've been to a lot of different shops, but this one ranks high in my ranking of good shops. This is a cafe that I would definitely like to visit again. I want it to be there forever.

It's a bit hard to find, but it's a stylish cafe in a renovated old folk house. I think you'll have a great time whether you come with friends or as a couple. I also like that the lunch menu includes three types of pasta to choose from, and includes a monthly menu. The road leading into the parking lot is narrow, so it might be a little difficult if you have number 3. The inside of the store has a calming feel to it, with the interior decoration and furnishings all showing their age. There was a homemade wine cellar behind the seats in the back, which was interesting.
