In addition to the standard milk flavor, the gelato comes in many seasonal limited-time varieties. There are also options made with local ingredients, such as sudachi (Japanese citrus) from Kagawa Prefecture and Kiyomi orange.
There are three sizes: single, double, and triple. You can choose either a cup or a cone.

This seems to be a gelato shop run directly by a farm, and they have more than 10 kinds of gelato, including milk. They all looked great, but I went with a simple combination of milk and cafe au lait. Enjoying the gelato on the outdoor terrace while taking in the feel and scent of the farm made it extra special.

There was a cow right in front of the restaurant. I ordered a triple of rum raisin, blood orange, and kaki (persimmon). It was my first time trying kaki! It really tasted like kaki and was delicious! The rum raisin was also very well done, and I was satisfied. My companion's sudachi (Japanese citrus) had a nice punch and was great.

・Shure's lunch
It seems the contents change between the first and second half of the month. The main changing fried item is tasty, and it was my first time trying pear dressing on the side salad ✨️The small side dishes also had that extra touch and were so good (*´༥`*)ｳﾏｳﾏ. Even the satsumaimo (sweet potato) rice felt seasonal, and it turned into a lovely, Manzoku lunch ♡

The "Combo Lunch," where you can enjoy both lasagna and deli items, is also recommended.

Just like in the photo, the pancakes are made with whole wheat flour, so they may have a richer aroma than ones made with regular flour⁉️The ice cream is additive free, so even now, it feels good to eat it with peace of mind.

・Today’s deli lunch plate
The main dish was Kara-age topped with tartar sauce. The tartar sauce is probably homemade. It was really good! I also liked the potato salad with basil. I want to try making this at home too.

The curry with Wagyu had a gentle heat and was delicious, with a nice spice flavor. The cheesecake was also the rich, cheesy kind that I really like! It was very good.

I had the matcha pancakes. They come topped with a large piece of gyuhi (soft rice cake), so they are quite filling. Still, the pancakes are light and airy! The matcha sauce was not too heavy either, and I ended up enjoying plenty of it with the pancakes. It does make for sweet × sweet, but I ordered a banana juice as my drink. It was fresh and tasty.

It was such nice weather, so we visited with our dog. The terrace seating had a nice breeze and felt great✨I had the Thai-style fried rice set meal. It felt more like fried rice from a Japanese-Chinese food place than Thai-style fried rice（笑）. But it was still delicious♥

・Ham Salad Roti Set
The texture is much chewier and more substantial than a sweet crepe batter◎As for the filling, it is really just ham and cabbage rather than a ham salad. It has a very familiar taste, maybe from using Thousand Island dressing♬More than anything, the fragrant dough is not too thick, making it just right for Breakfast♡

I had the roast pork and Bolognese pasta for lunch〜. The pork, which can often turn dry, was moist here, and the sweet-savory sauce went really well with the rice. The pasta came in a tomato-based sauce with spinach and carrots, so it was a nice dish that let me get some vegetables too. The salad was fresh as well.

A one plate lunch that comes with potato salad and soup. It has multigrain rice and plenty of brightly colored salad (*^^)vThe garlic shrimp is nice, with plump springy shrimp and just the right amount of garlic flavor. The potato salad on the side is really good too (*´з`)I love potato salad

Poemu is a cute log cabin-style cafe. I visited at lunchtime. I heard they are not offering the daily time lunch now, so I ordered the yaki curry (baked curry). The curry was easy to eat, not too spicy or sweet, and the generous cheese was baked just right, making it very tasty.

Lunch is by reservation only until the day before. Served in the kaiseki (traditional multi-course Japanese meal) style, it offers refined seasoning that brings out the natural good taste of the ingredients.
Inside, there are also seats where you can feel close to the rich natural surroundings, and reviews recommend them for a relaxed lunch while looking out at the trees and small birds.

It had a refined feel, and rather than being an everyday kind of place, it gave us a bit of a travel mood and a special time away from the ordinary♪In the detached ochashitsu (tea room), we took our time enjoying the meal, and for dessert, there was pudding and chiffon cake that the children love❣️They were served with fruit on the side, which made them very happy

There is a wide variety, and it feels very Manzoku. The plates and presentation were beautiful too. After the meal, you can choose either coffee or black tea. From the seats, you can look out over the Setonaikai (Seto Inland Sea), and since it was sunny, we could even see Kankakei Gorge on Shodoshima (Shodo Island).

The finely chopped bacon and the sweetness of the onion are a really nice touch!! The crust is thin and crisp!

The shop's signature menu item is the "Frappuccino." In addition to coffee, it comes in a wide range of flavors, including matcha, black tea, and fruit.
Options topped with whipped cream and more seem nice to enjoy like a dessert.

Light meals such as cakes, quiche, and sandwiches are popular too. Of course they go well with coffee, but they also pair perfectly with Frappuccino.
Many reviews also said the interior feels open and comfortable.

There is a long table with room for 10 people, where you can charge your devices and use Wi-Fi. Today, I stopped by for a break and ordered a short Passion Tea.
