Oshaberina Spoon — Restaurant in Beppu

I think it’s not called Yoru cafe anymore. But the location is right. Wow what a find! Looks like a tiny little shop hidden by the train tracks but WOW was I wrong. I thought I nabbed the last parking space in front but was worried my friends wouldn’t be able to park. Oh how wrong I was. There’s another parking lot- free- behind the shop. And the shop was HUGE inside. I couldn’t believe it. Very modern but with Japanese good. The sets were on the pricy side between ¥1100 and ¥1500 on average with drinks. But well worth. Delicious. Apparently they are known for the shitake and steak set. I had Kaarage though. Coffee was good. They had vinegar drinks too. The menu had AMAZING looking parfaits for around ¥900. We had ample privacy. They spaced people for corona best they could. Food took a bit long for 1 pm on a Sunday to come.

I was happy to see a lot of eco friendly things too! Take out containers were paper. They gave paper straws. No Oshibori. Only disappointing thing was sugar and milk for coffee was plastic. Highly recommended! Very quiet and calm atmosphere. And they had more than private small party sized floor seating...

I came with a friend on a Monday, around lunch time. It was very quiet, only a couple of other guests. We ordered our food and then went to the french toast making area.

Well worth the money though. The atmosphere was great, the music was relaxing, and the space was clean and well designed. I will be going back! It's also a lot larger inside than I thought, there is even a map of the restaurant in one of the menu books, it shows you where the outlets are so you can choose your seat...

You'd actually be surprised how spacious and big the cafe is! It looked like a pretty small cafe from outside. Once we got in, it had different areas decorated nicely for families, groups and also had counter seats. You can read some Japanese books, most of them are for children but great for some reading practice time haha. We ordered omu rice and a seasonal fruit Per fait. I'd give the omu rice a 9/10, it tasted savory, sweet and wasn’t much salty. However, the Per fait was a let down...it had various fruit combinations, but didn’t go well with the pudding inside. Overall, the staff were pretty nice. It was a...
