a different side of Wakayama.
Café de Manma
An ocean-view café with local ume flavours
● Minabe · Wakayama
Café de Manma is a seaside café restaurant in Haneta, Minabe. Its website introduces a 180-degree ocean view, Italian-style lunches and daily desserts made in-house. It can suit a short break over something sweet or a longer stop with lunch. Roll cake appears in the introduction, but the day’s dessert selection is the useful question to ask before choosing: a photograph of a cake does not tell you what is available that afternoon.
