What is a plate lunch with vegetables as the main ingredient?

There is a wide variety of side dishes and rice!

A rice ball plate lunch with 15 types of side dishes, mainly vegetables, and 7 bite-sized rice balls, served on a stylish plate.

With 15 types of mainly vegetables, I thought it would just be a simple salad, but instead it turned out to be a dish in which each vegetable was carefully prepared one by one, grilled, boiled, or fried, depending on the season.

When men hear a vegetable lunch, do they think the portion is small? However, in addition to the side dishes, there were also 7 bite-sized rice balls of different types, so even the man himself was satisfied.

A bite of rice ball

There are seven types of onigiri, and the contents seem to change depending on the season and stock.This time, I received an onigiri filled with edamame, okra, fried tofu, pumpkin, etc.

I'm excited to see the vivid and careful presentation.

The ingredients arranged on the rice ball didn't overpower the taste of the onigiri, and even the bright pumpkin had a slight aroma, so you could enjoy each rice ball's unique taste.

I used to think that side dishes and onigiri should be eaten together, but at 8 sai café APOA, we recommend that you enjoy each onigiri individually.

About 15 types of side dishes

There are 15 types of side dishes, including long yam cheese (honey mustard flavor) and pickled red radish.

This also seems to change depending on the season and stock availability, so you can enjoy it every time you visit.

I don't remember eating turnips on a daily basis, so the fried turnips and abura with yuzu pepper is my favorite.

There were also meatballs in the tomato-stewed vegetables, and these meatballs were also homemade and delicious without disturbing the vegetables and tomatoes.

One plate lunch is also available.

The 15 types of side dishes remain the same, and there is also a one-plate lunch where each bite of rice ball is replaced with mixed grain rice.

This is recommended for women and those who want to limit their sugar intake.

Extensive drink menu

You can also enjoy standard orange juice, coffee, and rooibos tea.

handmade desserts

On this day, I had pumpkin cheesecake and apple pie.

This also seems to be a whimsical dessert, and they offer desserts using the ingredients that are available that day.

The cheesecake was rich and flavored to my liking, and it was a delicious cake with a hint of pumpkin, which I love.

8 sai café APOA’s commitment

The freshness and quality of the ingredients have a big impact on the outcome of the dish, so we choose seasonal vegetables, cut them into sizes that are easy to cook, and arrange them into shapes that are easy to cook, so that the unique flavor and taste of the dish can be brought out. They select seasonings and spices and prepare a rich repertoire of 15 types of side dishes, including honey mustard, pickled vegetables, and sesame stir-fry. The food is arranged neatly on one plate, taking into account not only the beauty of the appearance, but also the ease of eating.

To explain more specifically, what is served on top of the dashimaki egg is not the usual grated radish, but grated radish and pink heart-shaped pickled daikon radish "because Valentine's Day is almost here". Not only does it look good, but it's also easy to eat, we offer a wide variety of dishes, and we put a lot of love into it to make you as happy as possible. I was amazed at the attention to detail in each item!

As stated in the MENU, everything was elaborately prepared and delicious!

The stir-fried rape blossoms and sausage with curry mayo was the first time I had tasted it, and it was delicious and very impressive.

You can purchase stylish accessories in the store.

If you thought the accessories and electric lights in the store were cute and stylish, it turns out you can actually buy them! I was surprised!

You can also read as many manga as you want in the store.

Apparently, hotel guests are allowed to bring manga into their rooms.I was surprised because this is the first time I've heard of a hotel that allows you to bring manga into your room.

That kind of hotel is nice. I want to stay the night.

Summer 8sai cafe APOA

Actually, 8sai cafe APOA is a limited-time store (open from 23.10 to mid-24.3) produced by APOA, a beach house located at Tsu GotenbaBeach.

Last year, there was a glamping bar at night, but this year it seems like they are not doing it.

(Unfortunate...a glamping bar looks like fun)

It seems that preparations for the beach house will begin around mid-March, and the final date hasn't been decided yet, so I thought I should go! If you want to avoid this, come early!
