Matsutake Pilgrimage to Bessho Onsen 2025②
After lunch in Takasaki, I stopped by this café for a coffee break on my way to Bessho Onsen. This hidden gem is said to be a sacred place among fans, as it was frequently visited by John Lennon, located a bit away from the main tourist spots in Karuizawa.
I ordered the special blueberry juice, a classic that the Lennon family often enjoyed since the café opened. Made with luxurious Karuizawa blueberries, it had a refreshing tartness balanced with a rich sweetness. Just one sip in this forest setting instantly lifted my spirits. I also took a quick photo of the legendary "Royal Sweet Vanilla," which John Lennon praised, ordered by the table next to me. It’s quite moving to think that many famous songs may have been inspired right here.
By the way, the current owner is not the original founder, and the name "Rizanbo" was given by the writer, Tsutomu Mizukami. True to its name, the café is nestled deep in the woods, away from the city, in a place where tranquility still remains in Karuizawa. Perhaps John Lennon appreciated such a peaceful environment.
