It is easy to find near the station, and once you enter, there is a sense of being in a foreign country. There are Indian-style paintings and music, creating a calm atmosphere. The freshly baked naan is fluffy and very large, with an irresistible buttery aroma. You can choose the spiciness of the curry in detail, and you can also enjoy the creaminess of the saag chicken. The lassi and mango lassi are visually appealing and pair perfectly with the curry. The staff speaks Japanese and accommodates takeout, making for a pleasant experience.
A hidden gem restaurant where you can enjoy authentic French cuisine
Bistro Vonamura, run by an owner-chef trained in France, offers authentic French dishes. Inside, you can savor exquisite cuisine that delights both the eyes and the palate. The interior and exterior are styled in a rustic French manner, providing visitors with a special moment.
I visit this restaurant every time I make a pilgrimage to Fujii Kaze's sacred place. This is my fourth time. This time, when I was ordering food, the staff asked me, 'I heard you are not good with onions, is that okay?' I had written that I was not good with onions during my first or second reservation, but I did not mention it this time. They must have looked at my previous data or something and asked me, which really touched me. Their consideration is wonderful. Of course, the food was delicious too. If I had to be greedy, I would say it would be perfect if there were a little more pasta (laughs). I will come again next year, so I look forward to it then.

In addition to its appeal as a nighttime drinking spot, it's also worth visiting during lunch hours. You can enjoy a pleasant time in a calm atmosphere.
We used it for a welcome and farewell party during lunchtime. There were many customers. Since we had made a reservation in advance, we were able to use a private room, and the food was very delicious! Thanks to the staff's consideration, the coffee after the meal was also rich in aroma and very enjoyable.
Now, the Japanese-style room also has table seating, which shows consideration for those with bad legs and backs, making it very comfortable and allowing for a fun and enjoyable welcome and farewell party.
The menu was also abundant, and we were able to gather around the dishes we liked individually.
Upon entering, you feel a calm atmosphere and warm hospitality. You can relax in a private room, and the timing of the dishes being served is just right. The appetizers and seasonal small dishes are beautifully arranged, with playful presentations using hōzuki (Chinese lantern plant) and persimmons that are enjoyable. The sashimi features fresh local fish, with the Spanish mackerel and squid particularly memorable. The warm soup and the broth of the steamed turnip are fragrant, and the fluffy texture of the clam dumpling is also pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed the fragrant grilled Spanish mackerel head and the fried akou (red sea bream), and I was satisfied until the very end.
The staff were very kind and friendly. The curry was delicious, and the cheese naan was very tasty. There is a signed photo of Fujii Kaze displayed. It was a place I would like to visit again.
