[Nakatsugawa city, Gifu] Stone Museum Hakusekikan, A Museum of Minerals and Gems

Exquisite "Pyramid Curry" at Cafe & Restaurant "MW"

Since I was getting hungry, I decided to have the famous "Pyramid Curry" at the cafe and restaurant "MW" near the Hakusekikan.

You can have a weekly lunch and a cake set, including Pyramid Curry.
You can dine it without entering Hakusekikan.

The interior of the shop is typical of Hakusekikan, and the pillars, ceiling, tables, and chairs are all made of stone.

This is the classic "Pyramid Curry 900 yen (tax included)", a special curry made by slowly simmering in a large pot is served with pyramid-shaped rice.

We also recommend the healthy vegetable curry (950 JPY (incl. tax)) that uses seasonal vegetables.
*Vegetables change depending on the season

When you want to take a break or get hungry, please visit the cafe and restaurant MW.

[MW]
Business days: Open every day in August
Business hours: 9:00-16:00 (last order 15:30)

Finally, at the "Museum Shop"
Let's buy exclusive goods!

Hakusekikan's souvenir shop offers a wide variety of products, including gems, minerals, and pyramid-related souvenirs from Egypt.

Especially recommended is "Stone Chocolate". The chocolate is made by the American company Fiesta and looks so much like a real pebble that you would never know it was chocolate just by looking at it!

It is also a nice point that only natural coloring agents are used. It is perfect as a souvenir.

Please stop by the museum shop on your way home.

There are still plenty of content!
