inizio

Welcome to inizio, a charming café situated in the serene ambiance of Tamba-Sasayama, Hyogo. With its quaint setting at 513 Higashibuki, this café invites you to indulge not just in delightful cuisine but also in a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.

As you step inside, you’re greeted by a beautifully decorated space adorned with dried flowers and a contemporary aesthetic that is both clean and sophisticated. The cozy seating arrangements, including large sofas that beckon for a leisurely stay, create an inviting backdrop for relaxing conversations over sumptuous treats.

On the menu, you’ll find a selection that highlights the café's focus on freshness, showcasing the delightful 、生パスタランチ (Fresh Pasta Lunch). This beautiful lunch set features the chef's choice of fresh pasta paired with a vibrant salad and your choice of drink, all crafted with care to balance flavor and aesthetic appeal. Customers rave about the rich, luscious flavors that highlight the seasonal ingredients, ensuring that every bite is a journey of tastes.

If you’re in the mood for something sweet, be sure to try their renowned tarts. Reviews glow about the いちじくタルト (Fig Tart), where the figs melt in your mouth and the buttery, slightly salted tart crust offers a delightful contrast to the rich custard that fills it. One patron, 'ほっしゃんグルメ', emphasized how every element of the tart, from crust to custard, is meticulously handmade, culminating in a heavenly dessert experience that’s worth savoring bite by bite.

But don't just take my word for it—many guests have shared their own delightful stories. For example, 'さくまる' described enjoying a decadent cheesecake that struck the perfect balance between sweetness and tang, making it a beloved choice among families. For those with children, like '宮川敦子', the café’s inviting surroundings make it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal or a quick treat.
