zakka & cafe nii-ni is a new lunch spot with an attached general merchandise store that opened in Hachimantai City, Iwate Prefecture in July 2021. The woody interior offers a healthy lunch menu for health-conscious people who like to relax and enjoy their time.
We recommend the Onigiri Plate. The plate includes your choice of onigiri (rice ball) and shio koji karaage (fried chicken with salted malted rice). The onigiri is made with rice that has a rich flavor of grilled sesame dashi and is filled with a variety of ingredients. There are three types of onigiri: salmon, edamame, and salted kelp; grilled cod roe with wasabi and soy sauce; grilled pork, komatsuna greens, and cream cheese; and pork with negi salt and wakame seaweed. It's hard to decide.
We also recommend the Avocado Seared Salmon Tartar Sandwich. Creamy avocado and dill-marinated salmon make an exceptional combination in this sandwich.
There is also a full lineup of herbal teas, such as "Stress Relief Blend (chamomile & citrus)," "Sweet and Sour Peaceful Blend (strawberry & rose)," and "Health Support Blend (black bean burdock & cinnamon). You can feel the owner's concern for your body.
Next to the café space is a general merchandise sales area. Visitors can purchase unique and wonderful sundries selected from all over Japan. The owner himself is active as a sundry goods artist, so you will find a selection of the best goods from the artist's point of view.
It is also available for workcations, so why not stop by for a trip or for business?
