\\Okame Teahouse in the grounds of Nishinomiya Shrine// This teahouse is located in the grounds of Nishinomiya Shrine, which is famous nationwide for the lucky man selection. It is famous for its non-alcoholic sweet sake, but I was a little hungry so I had their specialty mitarashi dango. The small taiyaki was also just the right size. They were both reasonably priced at 300 yen each, including hot tea. Even so, the prices have increased. It was a nice teahouse that allowed pets on the terrace seats.
