Beautiful centerpiece on the table next to us

Monaka with sweet beans and roasted tea ice cream

The temple grounds show a hint of autumn.

Otera Cafe is a wonderful little cafe located on the beautiful Suo Oshima in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The menu is mostly drinks and sweets, but they do offer a couple of lunch items. After perusing the menu, I decided to order matcha and the monaka ice cream with my choice of flavors being matcha, roasted tea, or brown sugar and milk. It was a difficult decision, but I went with the roasted tea ice cream. The wafers were really crunchy, the beans had the perfect amount of sweetness, and the ice cream had a slight hint of roasted tea flavor. My friend ordered the amazake latte and after taking a sip, we both agreed we would be coming back just for this latte.
