Coffee Shop 3 of 4

The woman who ran the place was great. We order coffee and she said we had to have the 'Morning Set', coffee, 3 cm thick toast, fried egg, and salad for 500 yen. She gave us a large dish of homemade marmalade. When we finished, we asked for a second cup of coffee, and while we drank she told us that Donald Keene had been there twice. He is friends with the potter.

Then she said that the marmalade had been made from buntan, a citrus for which the area is famous. She then said that the area was also known for kintan, a fruit like a mikan. We indicated that we had never heard of it, so she each of us a large glass of juice made from it.

Then her husband,the cook, gave us large pieces of homemade rye bread.

Finally we had to leave and after a round of picture taking we paid our bill - 500 yen each, the rest was settai.
