静かな「小貝ケ浜」を眺めながら、のんびりとcafeや食事を楽しめます！ : Cafe Daiya

I'm sure there are many people who like ``sea-view Restaurants'' and ``sea-view cafes'' on sunny days. I visited Cafe Daiya for Sunday lunch, which opened about four years ago near Kokaigahama in Kawajiri-cho, northern Hitachi City. As usual, I took my favorite drive course, Hitachi Ota, passed through the Hitachi mountain road, and exited to R6 on the sea side. If you continue north on R6, you will reach Kawajiri Town. This was my first time visiting Kokaigahama, but the coastline is short and feels like a private beach. It's like the tide is receding and you can see lots of seaweed, and it's a heartwarming and relaxing sight to see children playing. The small white building right in front of Kokaigahama is "Cafe Daiya". When I arrived around 11 o'clock, a woman greeted me. Since it was still a little early, there were no other customers, so he guided me to a seat by the window with a good view of the ocean. There are two menus: a curry menu and a cafe menu including sweets. This time, I added toppings of "Curry Pork Cutlet" @900, "Yaki Vegetables" @200, and after the meal, I ordered "Seasonal Fruit Parfait" @500. You can spend time looking out at the sea until the food is ready. After a while, "Curry Pork Cutlet (with grilled vegetables)" arrived. The curry has a smiling peace symbol drawn on it with fresh cream, and the rice is beautifully arranged with Pork Cutlet and grilled vegetables. Cafe Daiya seems to be run by two women, and the curry is delicate, feminine, and cute. I'll get it right away! First, let's taste the curry roux. The level of spiciness is medium-spicy on the sweet side. It has a spiciness that even people who don't like spicy food can enjoy. As for the taste, it probably contains finely chopped vegetables and ground meat. It has a delicate and gentle taste, and even someone like me who is picky can enjoy it. Next I will try Pork Cutlet. Although the pork is not very thick and is suitable for cutlet curry, it is fried to be soft and crispy. It was Pork Cutlet that was very easy to eat with curry. Vegetables include shimeji mushrooms, yellow eggplants, pumpkins, mini onions, lion tang, bitter gourd, and corn. The mini onions cut in half were especially delicious. For around 200 yen, there is a wide variety of toppings and the taste is good, so we recommend the grilled vegetables! Other toppings include a soft-boiled egg, shredded cabbage, and Fukujinzuke. Enjoy the taste of each vegetable and enjoy the complete meal. The balance (in amount) of rice and curry roux was just right. The long-awaited dessert arrived a little after the meal. ``Sorry to have kept you waiting for the seasonal fruit parfait~'' I was surprised when I saw the parfait placed in front of me! The face of an old man wearing glasses is drawn on the round biscuit on top of the parfait! ``Huh? This is it!?'' I was at a loss for words, but then I smiled and said, ``Uncle.'' Well, it's an interesting shop for people who love fashion. Let's name this menu ``Seasonal Fruit Parfait Uncle Special.'' By the way, there are no special charges. Now, the uncle will receive the "Uncle Special"! Fruit toppings include kiwi, watermelon, melon, cherry, and orange. It was delicious with Ice cream, fresh cream, and crunchy cereal. It's a nice place to relax and enjoy curry and cafe menu in a beautiful shop. Although it is located a little on the sea side of R6, it is a calm shop that feels like a hideout. I would like to visit you again. Thank you for the meal!
