    有田焼のお店で、カフェレストランが併設されています。コロナ対応で席はゆったり配置ですが、自分たちだけだったので、貸し切り気分でお茶を楽しみました。ラデュレとのコラボの器もあり素敵。紅茶にかぎり、器が選べる。カフェオレとかはえらべない。パーキングは一応あるが、2台なので、車で大勢でいくのにはむかない。

    Saga Pref. Imarishi Shintenchou Nakai Kei 720-3
    "Located a ten-minute walk from Imari Station on the JR Chikuhi Line, this steakhouse is popular for its open-kitchen style where you can see inside the kitchen before you. They only carry local meat, with mainly select Imari beef. Their ""Tokusen Imari beef steak"" has a juicy taste that spreads within your mouth, and is a popular classic menu item with a distinctive rich flavor and full-bodied taste. Their steak set that pairs steak with soup, salad, a drink and other items is recommended. They have three different kinds of special sauces: sesame, ponzu (citrus soy sauce), and salt and pepper."

    The Chef and staff here are beyond amazing! We were a party of 7 people for my husband’s birthday. We were running late and they graciously served us even though they closed. The food was AMAZING...

    先日8時過ぎに伺おうと思い、L.O.を電話にて確認、8時半までと言われたので急いで車を走らせ8時20分過ぎに到着すると準備中の看板が店の前に。納得が行かず、店前から電話にて連絡を取ると〝ちょっと確認して参ります…(店長に確認?)すみませんが、本日は閉店となりました。〟 正直怒りを通り越して呆れてしまいました。何度か伺ったことのある店で、コスパの良い店だと思っていましたが、二度と行きません。 お客様...

    梨の季節、名産地の伊万里を訪ねました。 そのあとにランチ。伊万里だったら“ここでしょう”と意見が一致。 13時頃に行きましたが、 相変わらず多くて15分程待ちました。 “ときそば”¥837おろし蕎麦をいただきました。 友人は“玉子丼”。 蕎麦は細く、味はまずまずでした。 日曜日だからなのか、ファミリーが多かったです。 お座敷とテーブル席と選べます。 駐車場もあります。

    "The restaurant is a direct seller of Aridari, which has won the highest gold medal in the West Japan flavor variety category of the Karaage Grand Prix for three consecutive years, and has a high repeat customer rate and attracts fans from outside the prefecture as well. The boneless fried chicken, the hearty ""Sanzoku momo"" and the crunchy ""Sunazuri karaage"" are all highly recommended."

Saga Areas

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
