Ishidatami Chaya is one of the most well-established café restaurants, where a local nice tea is served, in Szhiuoka.

This café serves local black tea made by tea farmers in Kanaya region, where is north area of Makinohara upland. This café introduced Mr. Imura of IMURAEN and Mr. Murata of Chakura supply as special suppliers of black tea.

The luscious black tea with fancy sweets and excellent atmosphere of the café could captivate us.
