NASU SHOZO CAFE
The most popular forest café in Nasu, famous for a wide variety of scones and siphon deep-roast coffee. It was once listed among Tabelog's Top 100.
SHOZO was founded in Kuroiso in 1988, and the Nasu branch is considered the best known by locals. The signature is scones in many flavors. They can be eaten in or taken out as souvenirs, and they sell out quickly, so come early. Also offered are chiffon cake, pine nut cake, sandwiches, and siphon-brewed deep-roast coffee and tea. About half the seats are on a spacious terrace surrounded by greenery. Reservations are not accepted, and even on weekday afternoons the café may be full and require a wait. It costs about 1,000-2,000 yen per person. Located near Hirogaya along Nasu Kaido, with about 25 free parking spaces.
