Hello, fellow travelers!

Introducing Italian Eatery La Luce

Today I’m excited to share
a wonderful spot located in Ichinomiya-machi Miyaji, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture:
“Italian Eatery La Luce” (イタリア食堂 ラ・ルーチェ).

You’ll find this charming restaurant nestled along the historic Monzen-machi shopping street, right in front of the famous Aso Shrine. ^^
Besides drinks, they also serve a full lunch menu inside.

Drinks are available for takeout too,
so it’s perfect for a relaxed family outing — kids and adults alike will love it! ♪

Must-Try Menu Items at Italian Eatery La Luce

The drink menu is conveniently displayed right at the entrance,
so you can order on the spot without even stepping inside. ^^

They also offer coffee, making it a perfect stop for adults too. ^^

The Whipped Cream Coffee (350 yen) is a limited-time special,
and I noticed plenty of customers ordering it during my visit. ^^

The drink that really caught my attention was this beauty.
You can choose between lemon or orange syrup, and pair it with a variety of mixers —
sparkling water, natural water, black tea, or herbal tea. So many delicious combinations! ♪

This time, I went with
Orange × Natural Water (400 yen)!!

The straw has the cutest little curl to it — picture-perfect for Instagram! ♪

The first sip fills your mouth with a gentle sweetness,
followed by a refreshing tang of orange on the finish —
incredibly easy to drink and absolutely delicious!!

It can also be served hot, which makes it an ideal pick-me-up for the cooler months. ^^
A wonderful way to warm up from the inside out (*´Д｀)

With plenty of lunch options on the indoor menu too,
it’s also a lovely place to settle in and enjoy a leisurely meal (*´Д｀)

This is the kind of drink that brings a calm, comforting smile to your face. ^^

Be sure to drop by when you’re in the area!
