Welcome to Japanese Cafe Amaemon, an enchanting cafe nestled in the serene surroundings of Izumo, Shimane. A hidden gem at 839-1 Taishacho Kizukiminami, Izumo, Shimane 699-0711, Japan, this delightful spot is a perfect retreat for those seeking a soothing atmosphere paired with tantalizing treats.

Amaemon is not just a cafe; it's a culinary experience where traditional Japanese flavors meet modern dessert innovation. Renowned for its matcha delights and cooling soft serve, this cafe creates an ideal escape from the bustling outside world. Imagine indulging in the rich, earthy notes of matcha, paired perfectly with the creamy texture of house-made custard ice cream, served in a deliciously crunchy sugar cone reminiscent of lengua de gato, as one satisfied customer, A M, aptly described.

Customers have noted how Amaemon provides an oasis of calm, allowing you to unwind with a comforting cup of tea or a refreshing soft serve in a relaxed setting. One visitor, Inês Matos, beautifully stated, "Escape the rain or sun... heal your soul with the local products."

A visit here wouldn't be complete without trying their signature kakigōri (shaved ice), which has drawn rave reviews for its exquisite flavors topped with house-made matcha and hojicha syrups. Customer C More emphasizes that the ingredients used are of the highest quality, transformed into desserts that are not just delicious but truly memorable.

While the cafe adheres to some unique house rules, such as a one-drink minimum policy and self-service for water, these small quirks are easily forgiven when faced with the heavenly tastes on offer and the dedication to presentation. Regulars often recommend reserving your spot, especially during peak times, as it quickly fills up with patrons eager to savor Amaemon's culinary offerings.

Got the custard ice cream and the sugar cone was all sorts of yummy. Tasted like lengua de gato.

The best for rest, a treat and tea or coffee! Escape the rain or sun or huge crowds and heal your soul with the local products. Care in the presentation too! (And it's not overpriced )

平日11時くらいに伺いました。すぐに入ることができました。退店する頃には列ができていました。 【よかったところ】 ・かき氷がめちゃくちゃ美味しかった。上にかかっている抹茶とほうじ茶がとても美味しい。 【気になったところ】 ・ワンドリンク必須など、お店の独自ルールが多い。 ・値段が高いのにお水などはセルフサービス。サービスは普通です。 味はとてもよかったです!かき氷はまた食べたいと思いました。
