Chī Chá Shì Cuì - 安来市

I visited a café in Japan early on a weekday morning to see the most beautiful garden in the country. Since there were no tour groups yet, I was able to enter without any wait, and I was the first to arrive at the café as well, enjoying the place all to myself for a while. The garden view from the café was truly stunning, and I was so glad I came here for this experience. I learned that the museum has bought all the surrounding mountains, so there will be no unnecessary buildings built in the future. I ordered some tea and spent a relaxing time watching Japan from the café. Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

In this space, a 1000 yen coffee feels very cheap. It gives you a sense of relaxation as if you are gazing at a garden. (The high transparency of the glass is really great.) Be sure to prepare for some enjoyable coffee appreciation later on.

I came to the café, Midori, located within the Adachi Museum of Art. It is not in Adachi ward, Tokyo, but rather in Shimane Prefecture. I had wanted to visit for a long time, and the garden was truly magnificent. The garden has been recognized by overseas as well, with three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan and being ranked first for 16 consecutive years in the Journal of Japanese Gardening. Although the entrance fee seemed high, once inside, it was clear that it was worth it. There are views that can only be seen from this café, making it a great place to take a break. All items on the menu are priced at 1000 yen. The original blend coffee ~ADACHI blend~ is available for refills, making it a great place to relax and unwind. The coffee is not particularly exceptional, but I was able to enjoy it in a nearly private setting. After admiring the garden for a while, I decided to have a refill of coffee. While the drinks may be a bit pricey, considering the beautiful views, it's actually quite reasonable.

２年連続で10月に訪れた足立美術館。こちらのお店は、美術館内に２つある喫茶スペースのうちの一つ。窓からは自慢の「枯山水」ガーデニングが望めるとあって、大変人気があるようです。 店内はルノアールっぽいクラシカルな内装。動線は広く、窓に面した席と壁づたいの席に二分されております。窓面の席が一か所だけ空いたのを見つけてタイミングよく入店！壁面席では価値が半減しますからね。 メニューを拝見すると、ドリンクも甘味もオール1,000円という値付けでセットメニューはありません。入店前は何となく、コーヒーにアイスクリームを頂こうと考えておりましたが、よくよく考えるとそれぞれが1,000円するので、合計では何と2,000円！ ちょっと躊躇ってしまい ^ ^; 、連れも私も結局『白玉クリームあんみつ（1,000円）』を単品オーダー。アイスは抹茶かバニラを選択する方式でしたので、二人とも抹茶をチョイス。代わりに飲み物はお水で我慢です ^ ^; 。 登場したカラフルなあんみつ。黒蜜を掛けて味わう甘味の数々はこれと言った特徴が無いものの、美味しい •‿• 。抹茶アイスは甘さを抑えた渋い味わいで、こちらもなかなか旨いやつでした。 でも、このお店の主役は食べ物ではなく、窓から見えるこの景色。この日はまずまずの晴天で、見事に手入れされた庭園も素晴らしい眺め。この景色を貶す方はきっとなかなかいらっしゃらないでしょう。1,000円の大半はこの景色代です。

島根で一番景色がよくて、空気感がよい喫茶店です。調度品もよい。いっぱい千円で利用できておかわりできます。 ここで月一回は、プランニングしたいと思いました。 日本一の庭園見ながらコーヒー飲むなんて最高ですね。 オススメです！
