Kenny's House Cafe Izu Kogen
A restaurant with a Hawaiian atmosphere located in the suburbs, in an area with nice hotels and inns.
When you enter the restaurant, Hawaiian music is playing, creating an atmosphere where time passes slowly and you can calm your mind.
The exotic space is perfect for those who want to feel like they have traveled abroad, even if only for a meal on their day off, since it is not easy to travel abroad, although the corona is converging, borders are opening, and it is easier to travel abroad than before.
Once outside, you can enjoy the atmosphere of Izu, so you can double your sightseeing experience because you will feel like you have traveled both domestically and internationally.
Palm trees and other plants are placed inside the restaurant, making you feel as if you are really in Hawaii.
Many people think of Izu in terms of fish and seafood, but beef stew and curry are perfect for those who are tired of fish.
Large American-sized hamburgers and hot drinks are available for foreigners who don't like raw fish.
In fact, many foreigners visit the restaurant, so it may be listed as a recommended restaurant/cafe for sightseeing in Izu for foreigners.
If you are coming with a foreigner who is not a fan of Japanese food, I would recommend this.
I recommend waffles.
Personally, I am interested in the waffle menu.
In addition to the standard fruit waffles, there are also bone-in pepper chicken waffles and bacon and egg waffles, which are rarely seen elsewhere,
I want to come back again! There are many menu items that I would like to try.
I come alone and am not a big eater, so I can't conquer all the varieties, but the roll cakes are tempting.
Souvenirs included cow-print rolls, chocolate rolls, and Shizuoka guricha rolls made with guricha, a health tea unique to Shizuoka.
For souvenirs, the store also sells corn dressing, the store's original retort curry, T-shirts, and many other items that will make your trip memorable.
Izu's local beers and other beers are also available, so you can enjoy drinks while tucking into Hawaiian-style rice.
Reasons why you might want to refer
In Izu, there are many restaurants that mainly serve fish and other seafood, but there are few places where you can enjoy a hamburger, spaghetti, curry, or rice with gapao.
In the Izu-Kogen area, where it is difficult to get around without a car, the location just a short walk from Izu-Kogen Station is perfect for tourists without a car.
It is also suitable for those who want to enjoy the scenery of Izu but want to dine at a little more cost-effective price.
Each menu item has a generous portion, and the fried bread soft serve I had was enough to satisfy me. It satisfied both my stomach and my mind.
Free wifi is also available, so you can work on your computer while relaxing.
There is also a working space for workcation in Izu Kogen Station, but it costs 700 yen for 2 hours use and 1,200 yen for a full day.
Considering the price, this may be the best choice for those who work on the computer while traveling, as they can have a meal and dessert for about the same price and work.
Furthermore, there is no time limit, so you can kill two birds with one stone by enjoying your meal and working without feeling rushed.
price
I had the impression that the menu of seafood and rice bowls in the tourist areas of Shizuoka Prefecture was expensive, as it lightly cost more than 2,000 yen.
But even though this café is in the same area, a beef stew set or curry plate, which is the most popular choice, costs 1,500 yen, a hamburger is 1,200 yen, and a hot dog is about 1,000 yen,
I think it is very reasonable for a cafe in Izu.
However, I thought desserts such as sundaes were a bit expensive as they cost almost 800 yen.
One coin is not enough for the fried bread soft serve I had, which cost 540 yen.
Still, I wondered if that was the way it was supposed to be, since the original local puddings and soft-serve ice cream were also priced about that much.
Access
About 10 minutes walk from Izu-Kogen Station
It is located near the Izu Teddy Bear Museum, so after visiting the museum, relaxing here is a great way to spend your trip.
There is plenty of parking at the Teddy Bear Museum, so you can come by car or by train and walk.
Recommended products
I want to have dessert today! I have been thinking.
I was also interested in the cow-print milk roll, but the store owner recommended the most popular fried bread soft, so I chose the fried bread soft.
This gem features cold soft-serve ice cream inside freshly fried bread, allowing you to enjoy the difference in temperature.
It is like the Shiro Noir at Komeda Coffee.
Next time, I will be hungry and probably try a hamburger as big as your face or the recommended beef stew.
