The "R-za Dokushokan " in Koenji, which I introduced earlier. No talking! It was a little mysterious shop, but in fact, there is "Essel's courtyard" on the upper floor. This is a conversation OK.


The inside of the store has a mysterious space like the world of fairy tales, such as lined ores, dolls, and small fountains. My heart is moved by the messy design that combines various things. It feels like a witch's hideout or a sneak into the backyard of a small castle.



The seat I passed through was the seat next to the large aquarium in the center of the room. From the R-za Dokushokan, sit on a comfortable and fluffy chair and open the menu.




I ordered the hot "Sweet Maron (650 yen including tax)" and "Katoru Karl (350 yen including tax)", which are popular drinks. It seems that black tea is served with sugar in it, so the sugar-free writer requested sugar removal.


"Sweet Marron" with a sweet marron scent has a mild bitterness and is easy to drink. The teaspoon with a seashell design is also cute.



Cattle curl is a cake with a crunchy sugar-coated texture. It is recommended to eat a light dough that crumbles and a generous amount of cream. Because of its strong sweetness, even a single piece is highly satisfying.




It's OK to talk, but thanks to the atmosphere inside the store, there was no rape and everyone enjoyed a relaxing conversation. Koenji "Essel's courtyard" is easy to enter by yourself. Why not take a peek when you want to enjoy tea in a more fantastic space than usual?
