A stylish café providing relaxation opened in Arai, Mabi in April 2020.
Its name is CAFE＆DINING GLITTER (カフェアンドダイニング グリッター).
When you're hungry, when you want something sweet, or when you want to relax a bit…
This café is perfect for such times!
From hearty set meals to pasta, pizza, and sweet desserts.
The interior, lined with antique-style furniture and lighting, is a space where you’ll want to linger.
Why not take a break at the new café "GLITTER" in Mabi to soothe your daily fatigue?
Enjoy a comfortable space. The interior of "GLITTER"
When you open the wooden door, a space that feels like a different world unfolds.
The interior features wood sourced from Indonesia, a space crafted with care by the owner.
The antique tables and chairs exude a high-quality atmosphere.
My favorite is the deep green chair at the counter. It's plush and very comfortable to sit in.
The furniture and goods are sourced from "Zakka to Antique Umineko," run by the owner's family in Bihoku-cho, Ibara City.
With sofa seating available, you might lose track of time while engrossed in conversation.

Enjoy a hearty "fried chicken set meal" at a stylish café
To make it easy for workers involved in disaster recovery in Mabi to use, they created a hearty "set meal" available for lunch only.
The lunch menu during the interview in November 2020 included "fried chicken set meal" and "crab cream croquette set meal."
The fried chicken set meal has been a staple since the opening, while the other option changes daily.
I ordered the classic "fried chicken set meal."
It comes with two small dishes, pickles, the main fried chicken, miso soup, and white rice, all for just 880 yen (tax included)! (Price at the time of the November 2020 interview)
▼ The fried chicken, well-marinated with ginger, is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
▼ The "Koshihikari" rice from Okayama Prefecture is shiny and sticky, making it a perfect match for the fried chicken.
▼ The two types of small dishes that change daily are a nice touch.
How about dessert after your meal? Enjoy it with a gentle coffee!
For dessert, I ordered "coffee jelly" made with carefully selected coffee beans from Mame Lab. in Soja City, along with "original blend" coffee.
The stylish-looking sweets harmonize with the atmosphere of the café, elevating the mood even more!
▼ The moderately sweet whipped cream and slightly bitter coffee jelly are a perfect match.
▼ The original blend made with beans from "Mame Lab." has a pleasant mouthfeel and a comforting gentle flavor.
Desserts can be ordered at any time during business hours, so it's nice to come by for a little break.
Savor the sweet and tender meat. The restaurant's signature dish "Bihoku Pork Rice Bowl"
When it comes to popular menu items at "GLITTER," the Bihoku Pork Rice Bowl is a must-try.
It is available for both lunch and dinner.
▼When you put chopsticks into the onsen egg, the yolk flows out smoothly.
The combination of the sweet and savory sauce, tender Bisei pork, and creamy onsen egg is exquisite!
You can enjoy the rich sweetness of Bisei pork.
The stylish space and diverse menu make "CAFE＆DINING GLITTER" an attractive café.
We spoke with the manager, Fujii Tatsuya, who serves delicious dishes and shared the café's commitment.
