In a corner of Shiga, there is a hidden cafe where you can enjoy high-quality tea and the aroma of roasted hojicha. Chabou Bairaku is a coffee space nestled in a corner of the local long-established tea shop, "Omi Tea Marukichi".
As soon as you step inside, the deep aroma of hojicha permeates the air. Here, there are 10 varieties of hojicha roasted using the shop's unique roasting method, and the hojicha tasting set, where you can choose your favorite aroma and flavor, is recommended.
A popular limited-time summer menu item is the "roasted tea sugar syrup ice" packed with the flavor of hojicha. This authentic Japanese-style shaved ice, with its deep hojicha aroma and perfect balance of sweetness, is a luxurious and voluminous delicacy.
At Chabou Bairaku, you can not only enjoy the marriage of roasted tea and sweets but also fully experience the wonders of roasted tea. Hojicha fans and those looking to discover the new charm of tea will surely find satisfaction here.
