ムック
On the way back from Inagi Chuo Library, I stopped by here to have a light meal. As a change of pace and some exercise, I walked to the station passing by Jozan Culture Center. In one corner of it, there was a small café. I had visited once before, but at that time I left the library late and the shop was already closed. This time, I had plans to shop at Excita, so I left a bit early and was able to enter the shop. Looking through the menu, there were no bread items, but surprisingly, the food menu was quite extensive with onigiri sets, rice dishes, noodles, pasta, and desserts. I hadn't eaten lunch, but after looking at the menu, I felt like having rice. I asked the staff if I could have a smaller portion of rice with beef bowl and a little less sauce, and they kindly agreed to my request and served the dish. Thank you very much. The dish was beautifully arranged with kamaboko, shredded seaweed, and pickled ginger, with a homely and slightly sweet flavor. The meat was well marinated and tasted delicious. It came with a warm hojicha tea, which was comforting. I also felt like having coffee after the meal, so I ordered an iced coffee and the "Donguri Dogu Cookie" that caught my eye at the entrance. They offered it as a set with the drink. The cookie, made with acorn flour, had a rustic and fragrant flavor that went well with the iced coffee. The cookies and baked goods made by Eightpia Kobo in Inagi City can be purchased at other facilities and events in the city, but the Donguri Dogu Cookie seems to be a popular item. The one I had was the last one available that day. Some of the locals were quietly reading newspapers or books while enjoying coffee. It may get crowded during club activities at lunchtime, but I was able to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere during my visit. The early closing time makes it difficult to visit, but I was glad to find a quiet tea house. Thank you for the meal.
