We would like to introduce you to josuke, a countryside cafe in Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
As the name of the store suggests, it exists in a very rural area. It is surrounded by lush greenery.
It is such a wonderful café where you can spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature, and it will soothe your feelings.
Rural Cafe josuke
When I arrived, I found a single cafe in a place where I had seen nothing but nature.
It is as if the place is crowded only there.
A sense of security as if you were back at home.
Food is mainly eat-in, but take-out is also available.
Please note that we do not offer delivery service.
The most popular menu item, Yakuzen Curry
Personally, I recommend eating the very popular Yakuzen Curry menu at eat-in and taking home your favorite dessert for take-out.
Terrace seating available
Terrace seating is also available for those who wish to enjoy the richer natural environment.
Even if you dine at a table inside the restaurant, you will be able to fully experience nature.
The chairs, tables, floors, and walls of the restaurant are made of wood, giving it a warm wooden feel.
The lighting is also warm orange, so you can enjoy the atmosphere more.
The demographics of our customers vary considerably.
I have the impression that many people come as couples, families with children, the elderly, and locals.
Open only on Saturdays and Sundays
Rural Cafe josuke is open only on Saturdays and Sundays, so you get the impression that it is often very crowded.
If it is crowded, we recommend that you request take-out.
Now I would like to introduce my recommendations for the dining menu.
The medicinal curry is superb.
First is the standard, medicinal curry. It is a superb dish.
This is a curry that everyone should try at least once.
Most of the customers who come to josuke usually eat this curry.
It is a must for curry lovers.
The taste is quite tangy.
If you don't like spicy food, I will introduce the recommended curries later.
This medicinal curry has a spicy flavor that warms the body from the inside out.
If you are one of those people who get cold in the winter, please try this curry and feel warm to the core.
Of course, eating it in the summer is also recommended.
Next, for those who do not like spicy food, we will introduce honey lemon curry, which is refreshing and easy to eat.
Honey Lemon Curry
The lemons used in this menu are made in collaboration with this local specialty, Kiyosawa bukkake lemon.
If you really cannot try the medicinal curry introduced earlier, this is the one for you.
It is refreshing and really easy to eat.
Popular soft-serve ice cream
Next is the soft-serve ice cream, which is popular among people of all ages.
There are four flavors: ripe melon, Okinawan vanilla, vanilla, and condensed milk strawberry.
They are all sold for 300 yen, and some of the flavors are quite unusual,
Please try it to refresh your palate after your meal.
fruit parfait
Next is also dessert, and the fruit parfait is one of the most popular items on the menu.
Lots of cream and strawberry puree are spread on a bed of heavenly fruit.
The cream, puree, and fruit are well-balanced in acidity and sweetness, with a refreshing aftertaste that will make you want to have another serving again and again.
The fruit on top changes seasonally, so you may want to complete all the parfaits.
excellent coffee
And finally, coffee.
This coffee is also excellent.
Freshly ground, aromatic coffee is characterized by a relaxing aroma and taste.
It is recommended to be served after a meal or as an accompaniment to sweets.
Now, let's talk about the service of the waitstaff.
Anyway, she was a wonderful waitress who was very attentive and always had a smile on her face.
The way the staff treated customers seemed to give this restaurant a homey atmosphere.
The image of the person giving you the tour is also bright and cheerful,
We never change our attitude to our customers.
It seemed as if He was always maintaining the atmosphere of the restaurant.
That's what I'm talking about.
And finally, I would like to explain some of the details of the restaurant.
First, let's talk about the restrooms in the restaurant.
The restrooms in the restaurant were very well maintained and clean.
It also smelled like tea, which I found relaxing, even in the bathroom.
Seating inside the restaurant is available at sunken hearth tables, kotatsu, and terrace seating.
There is also free Wi-Fi in the restaurant, so you can use your computer or your smartphone.
A parking lot is also provided for those who use a car.
In the garden outside the restaurant, many chickens are free-range.
It is possible to touch them if you ask the clerk for permission, so please do so.
It is very cute.
Souvenir Corner
In the souvenir section, visitors can purchase lemon jam made from locally grown lemons.
I have had this jam and recommend spreading it on baked bread.
I recommend it because it is not too sweet and is refreshing to eat.
The above is an introduction to the countryside cafe josuke.
There is much to recommend this restaurant in terms of menu, structure, and service, so please visit it when you are in Shizuoka.
