The Afternoon Tea here is such great value for money. It's only 1800 yen! We arrived at 3 PM and it was almost full. Thankfully, we had made a reservation and were seated right away. My friend mentioned it had been a while since she last visited. The scones were delicious, shaped like cats so they were called "Neco-scones." We chatted for about 2 hours. We felt bad for staying so long, but the atmosphere was so nice!

I stumbled upon this shop while taking a walk the day before my business trip, attracted by the Obihiro Shrine. It was bright, warm, and the smiles of the wife and daughter were refreshing. The tea was delicious. In conversation, I learned that they are disciples of the late Takeshi Isobuchi. It's been years since I tried various ways of brewing tea while reading Takeshi Isobuchi's tea book. For cat lovers, they also offer cat paw-shaped chocolates and cat-shaped scones. I enjoyed a cup of Darjeeling tea while relaxing. Thank you for the blissful time! I'll come back again!

I went with a friend after a long time. It was cold, so I chose cinnamon milk tea. We also ordered canelés. The cinnamon stick that comes with it gives a nice touch to the experience. The canelés had a crispy exterior and a soft interior, just the taste I was looking for. My friend took the canelés to go. It had been a while since I last visited, even though I follow them on Instagram. The place was busy with customers coming in one after another. There were many couples, and people of all ages, from young ones to those around my mother's age. It made me realize that this place is truly a long-standing establishment. My friend ordered a pot of tea, so after finishing my milk tea, I also got a cup of Assam tea. We drank a lot and ended up talking a lot too.

A long-established tea shop in Obihiro. When I looked at their website, it said they have been around for 25 years. Back then, they were purely focused on tea, sweets, light meals, and afternoon tea, which I, as a tea lover, found very appealing and challenging in Tokachi. However, at some point, they started serving coffee as well, so I gradually stopped going there even before the pandemic, probably because it was a bit pricey for me when I was younger. I heard they started offering takeout, so I decided to visit and ended up sitting down for a bit. I ordered the original Earl Grey tea and a Grison cake set. The clarity of the tea made my heart dance. The water temperature was just right, and the serving size was generous, enough for three cups, which was nice. The taste was refreshing with the original Earl Grey. The Grison cake was a heavy tart filled with walnuts. It was quite hard, almost needing a knife. But it was delicious. I wonder how everyone eats Grison? I just grab it with my hands, so I can only eat it when I'm alone. I'll definitely come back for takeout next time.

I visited this local tea shop, which I used to go to for lunch a long time ago. I was seated at a table for four, even though I was alone. I ordered a Masala Chai, which is a tea with spices added to it. It was a bit lukewarm, but the subtle flavors of cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon made it a comforting drink. The price was a bit high, but the quality and attention to detail in the preparation justified it. The music playing was classical, which added to the elegant and relaxing atmosphere. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

After eating some not-so-delicious soba at Darjeeling Shimizu, I thought about heading back, but ended up returning to Obihiro. They said they wanted to have some tea. I prefer coffee, but I've been liking tea lately too, although I'm not very knowledgeable about it. They said, "Doesn't it make you feel a bit noble?" but there was no need to respond. They said, "Drink tea like a lady." Well, it seems better to just ignore them. It seems to be quite an old shop, but there are only two reviews. Even the queen representing Tokachi hasn't been there? When I arrived, it didn't look new, but it didn't seem to have much history either. The interior is very lovely, and there are speakers outside playing classical music. Or maybe it's coming through the ventilation fan? There are eight seats at the L-shaped counter, four tables for four people each, and a grand piano taking up space. "Darjeeling" and "Uva," please. I'm completely clueless, so I leave it to the missus. Uva has been with us since childhood, so there's no discomfort. Ohohohoho. It arrived in about 10 minutes. And then Daigoro came after a 3-minute wait. It's delicious and elegant. Uva is also good, but I can't taste the difference in the first cup. It's revealed that I have a mediocre palate. Of course, the second cup has a stronger taste, so I can enjoy the tea even more. Darjeeling has a stronger aroma, doesn't it? For the third cup, I poured it while still thinking there was so much left. I ended up pouring it full to the brim. When I looked at the missus, she was doing the same thing. "You, pouring to the brim like a lady, there's no such thing as a lady pouring to the brim, you should be scratching your butt," I said. She replied, "Shut up, old man. Then should I elegantly scratch my butt to the graceful piano accompaniment??" That's how quickly you can see through someone. There's a lot left, but would you like a large amount? The missus said, "Isn't there too much water??" We're heading home with our bellies full. It feels so mellow.

If we were to exclude alcohol, coffee and tea would naturally become the main characters. This time, it's about tea. A shop with an elegant appearance, bright interior, and plenty of sunlight. Not being very knowledgeable about tea, I ordered a blended tea and a cute scone called "Necorn". The hourglass tells me the perfect time to drink. Anticipating the moment when the sand falls completely, I approached the afternoon tea with an attitude that is not typical of an afternoon tea, and enjoyed a blissful moment with a complex and elegant taste. The scone was also very delicious, served with two types of cream and jam to enjoy freely. I regretted not bringing a book to read, during a certain afternoon tea.

I was curious, but without any reviews or information, I was too scared to visit. I usually have a lot of curiosity and would boldly enter a ramen shop, but I felt a bit nervous entering this place. It was a Saturday with a typhoon approaching, and I was the only customer the whole time, which made me even more nervous. I ordered a sandwich and scone set, and the pickles that came with it were surprisingly delicious. The scone and the tea that came with the set didn't leave a strong impression, they were just okay. The portion was quite large, maybe equivalent to three cups. In the end, the bitterness was expected. I drank some cold water before leaving. Overall, it may sound negative, but personally, I found it to be a comfortable place where I could relax with a book. It's located near Tokachi Promotion Bureau, and I heard that it gets really crowded for lunch on weekdays, so I'll visit again on a lazy holiday. (laughs) Thank you for the meal.

I ordered the chicken with demi-glace sauce lunch set for 1000 yen. The lunch set only had one option this time. Previously, you could have unlimited bread refills, but now you only get 3 slices and any additional ones cost 150 yen. Three slices feel a bit insufficient. The taste was decent, but maybe a bit on the sweet side. The coffee wasn't very good, so opting for tea might be a safer choice.

Today's lunch menu offers 2-3 options, and the lunch time tends to get crowded. However, the real highlight is the handmade bread that is all-you-can-eat! The restaurant is stylish and lovely, but I just had to mention this delicious perk. It might be a bit awkward for shy individuals to ask for seconds, but I'm sure they'll manage. Also, if you plan to go for lunch, it's best to go a bit early as the nearby government office causes a rush after 12 pm. However, lunch time goes until 2 pm, so going a bit later might work too. Plus, if you go too late, you might get an afternoon tea set as well!

When it comes to tea specialty shops in Obihiro, this is the place to go!! They offer a variety of lunch options with a lot of attention to detail. The photo shows the Afternoon Set, which is recommended for two people to enjoy tea together.

It's a tea shop, but they also have a good selection of light meals. It's nice to be able to enjoy various types of tea and choose based on your mood. The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant. I like to bring a paperback book and spend some time there whenever I remember it.
