Dining by the ridge for clear views of Taal Lake is a priority for most visitors to Tagaytay. At the same time, there are also those hidden gems surrounded by lush greenery and the fresh cool breeze. For that breath of fresh air, head straight to Aozora Japanese Cafe + Bistro to satisfy all your Japanese cuisine cravings.
Aozora’s original location along the ridge boasted of prime views of Lake Taal. Now, its new location transports you from the Philippines into a Japanese hideaway. The restaurant is conveniently located just off the main road across the famous Starbucks (where you can go for a cup of coffee and admire the view afterward).
Start your meal at Aozora with its specialty sashimi, sushi, and maki rolls. The fresh fishes are both local and imported from Japan. If you love salmon, all their salmon dishes are a must-order and completely satisfy your cravings.
The menu at Aozora can be overwhelmingly extensive with too many choices. Choose your favorites (like grilled, teppanyaki, or tempura) or even your favorite ingredients which are sources both locally and directly imported from Japan.
If you are looking for meat, try the grilled selections coming from the Mori garden yakitori grill. If you are looking for an indulgent splurge, try the premium cuts of beef wagyu in the form of teppanyaki or saikoro cubes.
