I was disappointed to find that a soba restaurant I had always wanted to visit in Ibaraki City had closed down, so I wandered around feeling a bit lost. Then I noticed this café and decided to stop by. As I sat at a table looking at the menu, I realized that I needed to order at the counter first. Since I wasn't very hungry, I walked up to the counter and ordered a café latte. After a short wait, my café latte arrived. I thought maybe a juice would have been a better choice, but I enjoyed the drink; it was soothing. Around 6:00 PM, I noticed they started cleaning up. They brought in the outdoor umbrellas and other items. Before long, they announced that the café would be closing at 6:00 PM, so I decided to leave. I found out that last orders were taken at 5:30 PM, and they seemed to be okay with a slight delay, but the closing time at 6:00 PM was firm. If you want to relax and take your time, it's better to arrive a little earlier.

CANURIP is a newly opened café near Ibaraki City Station, and what's unique about it is that you can bring your dog! There are some guidelines to follow, but it's highly recommended for those looking to enjoy a stylish café experience with their furry friends. I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and a homemade pudding. The smoothie is cold and perfect for this summer! The tartness of the strawberries balances well with the rich flavor of the bananas. It’s not overly sweet, so even with a generous serving, I could finish it easily. The pudding is a rich, thick type with a strong egg flavor, perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the whipped cream. It has a smooth texture and is truly delicious! (I forgot to take a picture, though, haha.) Overall, I enjoyed a relaxing time. Thank you for the lovely experience!
