Select Your Cup from 2,000 and Enjoy Arita Pottery Curry
About this spot
An iconic Arita gallery café where over 2,000 cups line the walls. When you order coffee, you get to choose your favorite from this vast collection—the pleasure is in the selection itself, and even deliberating is delightful. The signature lunch item is Arita Pottery Curry (有田焼カレー), baked fresh in authentic Arita ware. The savory aroma of cheese and the rich roux are beautifully complemented by the elegant tableware, allowing you to savor Arita through both sight and taste. The shop also displays and sells pottery, making it a joy to browse after your meal. This establishment embodies Arita's philosophy that vessels are meant to be used—a place to engage all five senses.
Tips
Lunch hours attract crowds and lines can form. The Arita Pottery Curry is baked to order, so allow extra time. The cup shelves are worth exploring while you wait for your meal—browse through them leisurely. Some displayed pieces are available for purchase.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour. Arriving before the lunch rush offers a more relaxed cup-selection experience.
