Chizu-Cho
A truly beautiful rural town in Tottori, Japan
Nodoka (和佳〜のどか) Café
Information about Nodoka Café
A lovely, peaceful café in an old, historic farmhouse in the beautiful, near-abandoned village of Itaibara. The farmhouse was built over 100 years ago. It is next to the bank of a small river, surrounded by cedar-covered mountains and abundant wildlife. It's in an idyllic setting.
The food in the café is made using the freshest Chizu-cho ingredients, purchased from farmers in the town. In addition, the white rice used in the Kakinoha sushi and other dishes is cooked in Itaibara's clear spring water. Everything is handmade by Nodoka-san, using traditional methods.
From late May to mid-October, you can enjoy persimmon-leaf sushi, a local specialty of Chizu-cho.
Open:
Thursday to Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Closed:
January - mid-March (because of snow)
