Cafes

Ume Cafe WAON is managed by Yoshidaya, a well-established Japanese pickle shop founded in 1830. It is the first plum (ume) specialty cafe in Japan and is a popular spot to enjoy food, sweets, and drinks made with plums and other ingredients from Ibaraki Prefecture. The cafe's menu highlights the refreshing flavor of plums, with all items prepared with care and attention. The different seasonal variations are particularly appealing.

The shop has a calm, laid-back atmosphere where visitors can spend some relaxing time. There is also terrace seating, so on nice days visitors can enjoy their meal outside in the fresh air. The adjoining retail shop proudly offers Yoshidaya's famous pickled plums (umeboshi) and other pickled products (tsukemono). It’s the perfect spot to refresh yourself during a sightseeing break.
