Imawo Space - Tokoname, Aichi

Neil W.

On a Sunday I visited the Tokoname pottery trail and stopped by Imawo Space for lunch. It's tucked down a narrow path accessible only on foot. I stepped down into the small building and after taking my shoes off and putting the room slippers provided on, ordered tantan noodles and sesame iced coffee. I sat at a window looking out onto derelict, overgrown buildings which might seem a strange view to enjoy but fitted in with the old-world charm of Tokoname. The noodles and soup were served chilled, which was perfect for such a hot and sunny day. They were tasty but a little light on veg. Brown rice was served as a side dish. The chilled sesame coffee was a unique flavour and hard to describe but was quite nice. It's really nice to be able to have vegan food in a quiet area, outside of the city.

Discovered this little cafe by accident when we were trying to find other cafe by Google map….. overall there is only two set of food for lunch, they are all vegan. The cold noodle we had is not bad, the rice that came with it was a bit plain in taste wise. They only have standard choices of drinks like ice tea, coffee, juice and soda etc. Service wise is basically you order at the cashier and they will send the food to the table of your choice and you will have to return the used plates to the kitchen counter. They have their own washroom so this is an upside. Their seats are quite comfortable.

The food was really tasty and not expensive. The menu is usually vegan. The staff is really friendly and it feels more like a "going to eat with your friends" atmosphere. They also sell pottery and cool hand made stuff. They are not open daily, so better check their Instagram account and PM them if you are not sure. You can walk from Tokoname station or from a nearby parking space. I highly recommend it if you want to have a special meal in a special place!

Glad we discovered this place. There’s a lovely wooden Montessori style mini cafe which my daughter enjoyed playing in whilst we enjoyed the food, which was unique and tasty. The staff spoke English well.

Such a lovely cafe that we discovered while walking around Tokoname. The interior is cozy and has a warm atmosphere, the food and drinks were delicious (we had the seasonal plate with vegetables of the day) and Chizumi, the owner, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She also connected us with local artists for learning Japanese style ceramics.
This place is truly like a home away from home. We'll definitely come back. Thank you!

Delightful cafe - a delicious oasis of calm. The owner helped us find a place for dinner afterwards. Highly recommended.

本当に「道間違えたかな！？」と不安になるような場所にあります（笑）！なので、地図を添付しました🤣

お料理はとても美味しく、素材の味が生きています。玄米ご飯もすごく美味しくて、超モチモチでした！ただ、お味噌汁は私には少し塩辛かったです。

基本的にベジタリアン（素食）なので、小鉢は様々な調理法で味付けがされていますが、もし好き嫌いが多い方は、合わないかもしれません。

飲み物なら、ごま豆乳が超おすすめです！甘すぎず、香ばしい香りが最高です！

お店の方がとてもフレンドリーで、台湾のことも大好きだそうです！二階には雑貨屋さんもあるので、見て回るのも楽しいですよ。

席は座り心地が良く、まるで「隠れ家」のような雰囲気があります（あの小さな門をくぐると、まさに別世界！🤣）。

食事後は、食器をカウンターの横へ返却するのを忘れないでくださいね！

你絕對會懷疑自己有沒有走錯路的地方哈哈哈哈！所以我附上了地圖🤣

餐點很好吃，都吃得到原味，玄米飯也非常好吃！超級Q，只是味噌湯對我來說有點太鹹
因為主要是素食，所以餐點有用不同的方式調味的小菜，但如果你是很挑食的人，我覺得不見得適合

飲品的部分很推薦芝麻豆奶，不甜、很香！

店家很熱情，也很喜歡台灣，樓上還有雜物店可以看看～
位子坐起來很舒服，有點世外桃源之感（通過那個小門就有了🤣）

餐點吃完記得要自己收到櫃檯旁邊唷！

คาเฟ่ Imawo Space เป็นคาเฟ่ที่เปิดให้คนเข้ามาเช่าทำร้าน แบบหมุนเวียนไปเรื่อยๆ วันนั้นที่เราไปตรงกับร้านเครื่องดื่ม + อาหารสไตล์คาเฟ่พอดี เลยแวะไปอุดหนุน บรรยากาศคาเฟ่อบอุ่นมากๆ เครื่องดื่มก็ดี ร้านน่ารัก มีไวไฟให้ใช้ด้วย
