Arita Cafe & Gallery 'Saredo'

Local pottery, tasty food & more in Saga Prefecture

A nice view of the town can be had from the window-side seats.

The cafe/gallery is only one of many traditional Japanese buildings on this street.

There are interesting decorations and items for sale in all corners of the shop.

Eat at regular tables or tall chairs that sit along the windows.

This was the dessert of the day, which was part of the curry lunch.

The shop has a variety of lovely items to choose from.

Saredo sits on this main street, which is lined with shops selling Arita pottery.

The shop/gallery sits beside this crossing.

Getou-an Saredo is a lovely cafe/gallery on Route 281, close to Kami Arita Station. The shop contains a great selection of local pottery, lacquerware, packaged foods, and other handmade products. In the cafe, customers can choose from curry & rice, fried rice with soup, pasta in a shoyu-based sauce, or french toast with fruit - for lunch or as a dessert. They also offer a selection of juices, coffee, cocoa, etc. The staff is very friendly and some English is spoken.

I'm headed to Arita in October and this place (and the whole street!) looks charming! Thanks for sharing all the great pictures - it has me feeling even more excited about exploring the area on my visit.

Oh, I know that place! Right across from the Arita-kan, right? They have such beautiful pottery in there but I never stopped for lunch. Looks delicious!
