I went there a while ago. As soon as I asked what kind of juice comes with the lunch menu, I thought it was apple juice lol. Even after that, when she was putting down the plates, she piled them up right in front of me, and when I left, she didn't even say thank you.She was the worst. I will never go there again. Don't be fooled by appearances!

This is the fourth time. Since the lunch menu has changed since October, I ordered the Hidamari Cafe Lunch. For the main dish, we chose fluffy meat dumplings from among the 5 types. When it arrived, I was surprised to find that it was about twice the size of a golf ball. I needed a knife and fork. As the name suggests, the taste was soft and delicious. In addition, salad, small side dish, piping hot gratin, miso soup, rice, fruit, dessert cake and coffee were also included. I'm full. But the price was reasonable. It was a satisfying lunch.This is the third time. Today I had a ``thick-sliced ​​crispy pork cutlet lunch''. The thick loin cutlet was delicious. Salad, side dishes, gratin, rice, etc. were the same as Cafe Lunch.This is my second time. This time too, we had the Hidamari Cafe Lunch. The menu changes monthly. The main dish this time was Dandori Chicken. Dessert was a cake. They are all delicious.I visited for lunch for the first time. I ordered "Hidamari Cafe Lunch". Looking at the menu, there are many items. First came the salad, then the gratin. After a while, the main dish and other items arrived on one plate. This month's main dish was ``Healthy Pork Belly Meat Maki''. It was very delicious with a refreshing dressing. I also got rice and miso soup. After I finished eating everything, dessert came next. I thought it would be fruit or ice cream, so I was surprised when a large custard pie arrived. Coffee also arrived. The custard pie and coffee were delicious. I was very satisfied with the number of items available for the price. The cake plate was NIKKO and the coffee cup was Wedgwood. There was a grand piano in the store. Since Pension Asuka is also managed, I wonder if there are live performances in the evenings. I would like to stay there once. I would like to try other menu items the next time I come for lunch.

A quiet and clean accommodation.Starting from here, Takamatsuzuka Tumulus → Asuka Temple,It was a relaxing inn where we spent 3 nights traversing the Yamato Sanzan (Mt. Kaku, Mt. Miminaru, and Mt. Uneba) over two days on the path from Sakurai to Tenri.

Whenever I come to Asuka Village, I always stop by for lunch. Today I had the ``thick-sliced ​​crispy cutlet sandwich'' ❗️ The pork cutlet was really thick and juicy, and the bread and sauce matched perfectly 👍 It was delicious and I finished it in no time. Families, couples, and groups were enjoying lunch in the calm atmosphere of the restaurant. Recommended for lunch in Asuka Village.
