Farmhouse Restaurant Couple: The Best Soft Serve Ice Cream in Aso-Oguni — Perfect for a Summer Date
2017.06.08

Our Sarukuma writer pays a personal visit to “Farmhouse Restaurant Couple” in Oguni and shares the full report. We’ve also rounded up family-friendly tips, access details, and opening hours.
Today we’re heading to a hidden gem tucked away in Nishizato, Oguni Town —
Farmhouse Restaurant Couple (Nouka Restaurant Couple)!
Whenever our sweet-tooth editor-in-chief visits Aso-Oguni, he’s been known to put away more than 10 soft serve cones in a single day —
and this place is his absolute number one pick!
Recommended Menu
While there’s plenty of takeout on the menu,
the star of the show is undoubtedly the soft serve ice cream!
This café is run directly by Umeda Farm, so if you’ve got a little extra room in your wallet,
be sure to treat yourself to a café au lait as well.
Grab a seat on the terrace, kick back, and slowly savor
an incredibly creamy soft serve paired with a rich café au lait —
it’s the kind of moment that makes a Kumamoto road trip unforgettable!


How to Get There
Starting from Oguni’s roadside station, Yu Station,
head north along Route 387 and you’ll find the restaurant right beside the road —
but be warned, it’s pretty deep into the mountains!
Without GPS navigation, you might start to wonder if you’ve taken a wrong turn, so plan ahead.
Luckily, there’s a large sign out front,
so you really can’t miss it once you’re close!
