Very good quality and tasty food. Great tropical fruits probiotic (hand made fermented) drinks.
Great handmade deserts.
All best around there.
The only drawback is that the size of the meals (curries, meat stews) are too small. We needed to buy an extra or 2 for four people to have enough. Also they are served in a disposable plastic plate which is not ecologic. That could be improved.

Lovely small and charming lunch spot after visiting the Yakusugi Museum.
We had the beautiful and well tasting homemade mixed fruit juice with soda, and the simple but excellent deer stew. We can only recommend both of them.
The owners are lovely, and as a final touch they waved goodbye to us when we drove away.

Tiny quaint cafe on the way to the Yakusugi Museum. I mainly intended to visit for coffee after it was suggested to me at one of the shops I was at earlier in the day, but they also serve a variety of mostly venison based curry/stew dishes that are perfectly sized for a light lunch. The owners are extremely kind and friendly, limited understanding of English but managed to make conversation work though google translate.

Beautiful, cozy cafe with a very sweet couple running the counter. Super cute decorations. Delicious coffee and deer curry too! We were the only ones there at the time and they were so dedicated to provide us information about Yakushima. We did our best to communicate despite the language barrier and they were so patient with us! They waved to us as we drove off too.... One of our favorite moments that day!

The curry and hojicha cheesecake were both flavorful; even the water tastes good! And the hosts are so very kind; we were busy planning our drive around the island as we ate and they shared with us guides and manuals for the island -- we're ashamed to say that we were so focused on planning that we never asked their names. Even so, they were very kind to us.

They also have a photo album-like menu that makes it very easy to order, even if you don't speak Japanese. You can flip through and comfortably show what you would like (kore o kudasai)

A lovely little cafe, very rustic and charming. The deer stew was very tasty but the standout for me was the delicious pumpkin cheesecake. All homemade and made with real care.

A little cafe in a wood cabin! Beautiful place by the roadside where you can stop by. We had pleasant time with great coffee and cakes in Tama Cafe. The owner of the cafe was extremely friendly and hospitable! Thank you for the Yakushima travel magazine too! 🙂
