Spring Break has provided some time to hang out with students in a more relaxed way.
Today I met with a high school student and she introduced me to a new Japanese tea shop,
called Miyake located near Tomio station.
^We sat on tatami mat floors at a table with soothing view of bamboo
as we talked for a couple hours.
The menu was filled with modern and traditional Japanese sweets
- so many that we decided to try a number of them.
My friend order Sakura (cherry) mochi (click the link to see a photo of it).
Here is the vanilla ice cream and red bean pie that we shared.
Great combination!
(You thought it was apple pie didn't you!)
I ordered the fruit daifuku (for a better photo click here). Daifuku mochi is basically pounded rice filled with something. The pink one is Strawberry daifuku mochi with a whole strawberry inside. The green is Kiwi daifuku (Yes, there is part of a real kiwi inside). A wonderful treat!
^This is the view of the rock garden at the entrance.
If you live near Tomio - I highly recommend this Cafe/tea shop.
