Scenic Cafe Serving Japanese Tea and Coffee
A cafe that opened in 2026 at the summit of Mt. Washu in Shimotsui Tano-ura, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, specializing in Japanese tea and matcha. As "a cafe that proposes ways to enjoy Mt. Washu through the Japanese tea scene," visitors can spend café time while taking in the Seto Ohashi Bridge and the beautiful island-dotted scenery of the Seto Inland Sea seen from Mt. Washu. The shop is also carefully designed so guests can enjoy the appeal of Japanese tea with all five senses, and it offers a full lineup of new-style menu items that overturn conventional ideas about tea. Popular items include the "Momo Matcha Cloud," inspired by Okayama peaches, and the "Salt Basque Cheesecake,” plated in a French style. Together with the spectacular view, this is a place where you can fully savor the new appeal of Japanese tea unique to this cafe.
Innovative Tea Creations Beyond Tradition
Original drinks made with Japanese tea and matcha selected by a tea master are well received. The visually appealing menu includes "Setouchi Sencha Soda," a blue tea soda reminiscent of indigo dyeing, and cloud-style drinks topped with sweet foam, complemented by the panoramic scenery of Mt. Washu.
Thoughtfully Crafted Sweets From Ingredients to Flavor
Two visually refined tea terrines are available alongside desserts such as the "Salt Basque Cheesecake," which offers a change in flavor with a touch of salt. Each selection features carefully chosen ingredients from Okayama and balanced seasoning designed to complement tea and other drinks. Delicate sweetness and aroma pair with the panoramic scenery for a distinctive cafe experience.
