Sakaimachi, Ibaraki Prefecture, is home to six buildings designed by Kengo Kuma.

This is one example.

The Montenegro Hall, built as a symbol of friendship between Sakai Town and the Republic of Argentina, was renovated to a design by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma. This tea cafe opened inside the building.

I stopped by this cafe while touring Kengo Kuma's architecture, and I was captivated by these artistic muffins.

It was my first time seeing such delicately crafted flower bean paste!! It's truly amazing! A work of art.

They also sell tea, black tea, and vegetables.

The staff were so kind and helpful, explaining everything, making it easy to understand and making me want to buy more.

They also had a Japanese black tea tasting set, and the drinking method was expertly done.

I enjoyed the delicious tea.

I definitely recommend you try these delicate flowers.
