  I've been curious about the Nikko Natural Ice signboard for a while. It was hot after lunch so I visited for shaved ice 🍧 I was planning on having matcha after my shaved ice, so I got the blueberry flavor, and my companion got the Tochiotome flavor. Moreover, when I was looking at the menu, my companion wanted to eat soba and ordered soba as well. The shaved ice is soft and fluffy, and the blueberry flavor is gentle and delicious😋 First, my companion had some soba noodles. She told me that it was thinly sliced ​​and delicious, so she shared it with me as well. Yes, the thickness and taste you like! You can easily come in even after lunch. In the end, I ended up getting about half of it and gave up on matcha💦 The staff at the restaurant were very attentive and explained the dishes in detail. Everything is handmade, and even the shaved ice nectar is made from fruit. That's why I was so impressed with how gentle the flavor was. There are many things I want to try, such as anmitsu, zenzai, matcha and shaved ice, so I'll come back again♪

  A sweet shop where time passes slowly. Chewy, chilled udon noodles with sesame sauce, vegetables, and pork. The dessert you can choose is mini anmitsu. Even though it's mini, it has plenty of volume, and the crushed red bean paste and brown sugar syrup go well with the agar. I was interested in Sri Lankan curry, but unfortunately it was sold out, so I'll try it next time. This sweet shop sells handmade accessories and offers fortune-telling services, so you can spend a relaxing time here. . Chilled sesame udon set 1,330 yen

  This is a sweets restaurant that mainly serves matcha tea, and also serves lunch centered around soba udon. The ``udon'' I ate was delicious with chewy, thin noodles. In addition, the "special Sri Lankan curry" has an elegant taste with coconut milk that brings out the mild taste. There's a lot of chicken in it, and the pickles and other vinegared items add a nice accent. I feel like the stylish bowl enhances the deliciousness. The ``shaved ice'' dessert is made from Nikko natural water and is very fluffy. It goes well with the original red bean paste and is very delicious. The amount of food is not very large, and it can be said that it is a place where you can enjoy the sweetness after filling your stomach. There are 5 counter seats, so it's easy to visit even if you're alone.

  I came here because I wanted to eat anmitsu. It was a relaxing space with a clean and tasteful interior. I was impressed by how delicious the homemade bean paste and hojicha ice cream were. The shiratama balls were also soft and chewy, so much so that I wanted a second helping. I was healed by the wonderful tray and bowl. On my way home, I ordered monaka to take out, and it seemed like they made it after ordering, so I couldn't get enough of the crispy skin. When you want to eat Japanese sweets in Utsunomiya, I think this is the only place to go.

  I visited for the first time after hearing that I could get matcha from Kyoto's Marukyu Koyamaen, which has won first place in national tea fairs many times. Since it is a tea room, the inside of the store is quiet and calm, with classical music playing. The stylish indirect lighting is also soothing. It has the atmosphere of a hidden cafe. There are 5 window counter seats, 6 seats for 4 people, and 1 table seat for 2 people, so you can relax. There are 5 parking spaces next to the store. The menu includes not only sweets made with Kyoto tea, but also handmade soba, homemade curry, and a wide variety of other items. This time, we are looking for “Mori Soba” for 680 yen. I ordered the "Matcha Parfait" for 780 yen. Mori soba is white, thin, and short soba. Because they are handmade, the thickness of the soba noodles varies considerably. Although the soba is chewy and firm, it does not feel mushy and goes in smoothly. It has a soba flavor and is delicious. The bean paste in the parfait is elegantly sweet and moist. It is said to be homemade using Dainagon adzuki beans from Hokkaido. Vanilla ice cream is an authentic ice cream made with vanilla beans. Furthermore, the matcha ice cream is rich and slightly bitter! ︎ The chewy texture of the shiratama is irresistible. There are many other toppings such as agar, black beans, and cream, and all of them are extremely delicious. I've decided to come back because it seems like it can be used not only for meals but also as a sweets shop.
