<p>A nice view of the town can be had from the window-side seats.</p>

<p>The cafe/gallery is only one of many traditional Japanese buildings on this street.</p>

<p>There are interesting decorations and items for sale in all corners of the shop.</p>

<p>Eat at regular tables or tall chairs that sit along the windows.</p>

<p>The Asian curry & rice lunch.</p>

<p>The curry is served with a tasty salad.</p>

<p>This was the dessert of the day, which was part of the curry lunch.</p>

<p>Entering the front of the gallery/café.</p>

<p>Beautiful handmade bags and purses.</p>

<p>The shop has a variety of lovely items to choose from.</p>

<p>Saredo sits on this main street, which is lined with shops selling Arita pottery.</p>

<p>The shop/gallery sits beside this crossing.</p>

Getou-an Saredo is a lovely cafe/gallery on Route 281, close to Kami Arita Station. The shop contains a great selection of local pottery, lacquerware, packaged foods, and other handmade products. In the cafe, customers can choose from curry & rice, fried rice with soup, pasta in a shoyu-based sauce, or french toast with fruit - for lunch or as a dessert. They also offer a selection of juices, coffee, cocoa, etc. The staff is very friendly and some English is spoken.
