Kiryu, Gunma, Japan｜Yanoen

The store was renovated in April 2019. Closed on Mondays. Open when Monday is a holiday. The cash register and rice milling locations have been reversed from before. I was asked to buy roasted green tea and went to buy it. On the left side of the store, we sell polished rice. You can buy coffee beans from Hibiki Iwano's Horizon Lab, which has become a hot topic in the media. Other than mail order, they are sold at two locations in the city: Yanoen and Wabisabi. The beans change every month. Be careful when purchasing beans, not powder. If you ask at the cash register, they will give you coffee beans. You can drink Horizon Lab coffee at the cafe corner. There were also Yokokura rice crackers from Sakaino-cho, Nippon Ichi soy sauce from Oka Naozaburo Shoten in Omama, and Coco wine. Local vegetables are placed next to the cash register. I had scooped tofu from Yoshikoshi Foods in Izuruharamachi, Sano City that I had bought at the Tsuba Co-op in the fridge, so I bought it. A tofu shop opening at the Ginza Mitsukoshi store. It seems that it will be in stock every Tuesday (Tuesday). Cafe Yurin is located at the back of the store and only serves coffee, tea, and Japanese sweets. It seems that parfait is no longer available. There are two tables that seat 4 people and one that seats 2 people. Maximum of 10 people. In September 2019, we were introduced to Taka & Toshi on the Fuji TV route bus travel program. If you go into the back of the Yonegura parking lot next door, you will find Omiya Kihei, a restaurant that was renovated from an old folk house and opened in March 2019. You can eat lunch and parfait. I haven’t been there yet 😅 It is not open throughout the day, and there is a last order time for lunch and sweets, so it is better to check the times. Reservations only at night. There is also a parking lot on the Mitsukoshi side. The restrooms are located on the right side in front of the back door at the back of the store, and on the opposite side of Yurinkan's office, which is just outside the back door. The stamp card costs 500 yen when paying in cash and gets one stamp. Credit card payments are not accepted. At Yurinkan's fashion week events and at the back of the store on the first Saturday of every month, Chuji Chaya Honpo in Isesaki City sells grilled manju for 140 yen and sake manju for 100 yen each. If you don't go early, it will be sold out because people are buying it because it's a popular item.

I bought a very delicious hojicha. There are two kinds of Kanto products and Kyoto products. I will try to make Hojicha Latte next time, with the staff who delivered it to me to teach me how to arrange it.

The building has a retro atmosphere, and the shop has a wide variety of Japanese tea (green tea, hojicha, black tea), which was nice.
