Awaji Island Travel-Enjoy a Picnic with Takeout!

Spring is the perfect season on Awaji Island. Fresh vegetables, seafood, and other seasonal foods are plentiful, and the weather is becoming more comfortable, so camping, glamping, and picnicking are recommended. In this article, we will introduce some restaurants that offer take-out menus.

Seaside Resort Cafe, miele the garden

This resort café is in a great location, with a tropical atmosphere and a panoramic view of the sea of Awaji Island. Many limited-time-only sweets and other treats using seasonal fruits are available, so no matter what time of year you visit, you will never get tired of enjoying them. “miele the garden” offers take-out on the food menu as well as drink menu.

Awaji Island Onion and Tanba Kogen Pork Sausage French-Style Sandwich

We had our sister facility, Tango Kingdom Shoku no Miyako in Kyotango, Kyoto Pref., make extra-large Tamba Kogen pork sausage for miele the garden, and it is a hearty dish. It is an original hard bread sandwich that can only be found here, with plenty of sweet onions from Awaji Island.

Awaji Island Onion and Awaji Beef French-Style Sandwich

Awaji beef raised on the nature-rich Awaji Island, Kitasaka eggs famous on Awaji Island, and onions grown on Awaji Island are used in this dish. The eggs are “Sakura Tamago” eggs, which are characterized by their chunky egg whites and rich yolks. This hard bread sandwich is filled with the charms of Awaji Island.

French Fries

Two sizes are available: large and small. Please order according to the number of people.

Lemonade

This is homemade honey lemonade from our sister store “Miele” on the west coast of Awaji Island. It is sure to look good in photos when taken with the beautiful sea scenery in the background.
