A.C. Perch is a Denmark tea brand.
They actually opened a cafe in Osaka last June, but I only I recently learned about it.
So this past Tuesday, since I was in the area, I went to check them out.
Main dishes are mostly tartines (open faced sandwiches) though they also have hot dogs and other items.
I ordered the scallop and shrimp tartine...1260 yen and also added soup and tea for 315 yen more.
The soups they had to choose from were a corn potage, clam chowder or minestrone. I went with minestrone. This was thick and sort of reminded me of portuguese bean soup, a soup we eat in Hawaii.
My tartine also came with a salad and you could choose between a citrus dressing or an olive dressing. I went with the citrus.
The dressing was really refreshing and went nicely with the seafood tartine.
The tartine also had 3 different cheeses on it (I asked...gorgonzola, parmesan and camembert) and a little broccoli...cheesy good!
The tea I chose was No. 5...Emperor Tea.
A Keemun, dark and smoky.
I'm glad I tried this place and will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

ReplyDeleteOk, I try this comment box again.
ReplyDeleteThey've got a beautiful website (tea room looks divine). Your meal looks tasty but was there anything else on the menu that seemed more "danish". Oddly enough, I see the word danish and I'm thinking of danish pastries... :P
Thanks K :) it was!
ReplyDeletelol, I don't think danishes are Danish, Rowena :p
Take care you two.
