Savor Signature Tea Field Pudding and Tea on a Terrace Overlooking Tea Fields

About this spot

A café run by a tea farmer in Ikegawa, Niyodo-cho, known for its tea cultivation, featuring sweets made with locally grown tea leaves. The signature menu item is the charming tea field pudding, designed to resemble rows of tea plants. Available in two flavors—covered tea and roasted tea—each blend releases the aroma and gentle bitterness of tea that melts softly into creamy milk. On the terrace overlooking the Doi River, you can enjoy tea time surrounded by the babbling of the stream and green mountains, perfect for a break during your valley exploration. The café also offers parfaits and drinks, and purchasing Ikegawa tea as a souvenir is highly recommended.

Tips

Terrace seating is popular and you may need to wait during weekend lunch hours. The popular tea field pudding sometimes sells out, so arriving early is recommended. Cashless payment is not always available in the mountains, so it's wise to bring cash.
