The presentation that evokes the seasons and the space where modernity blends with a Japanese atmosphere is comfortable. The dishes I had for lunch were all carefully prepared, and the grilled chicken and fish were particularly fragrant and memorable. The miso soup made with Shinshu's koji miso had a deep umami flavor that brought a smile to my face. The homemade bonito flakes and rolled omelet had a gentle taste that complemented the rice well. The sashimi, chawanmushi, and various small dishes were all well-balanced, and the ingredients were diverse. The attentive service made it a comfortable and relaxing experience.
In a space that utilizes a renovated traditional house, the wooden table is comfortable. The counter where you can see the cooking process is also attractive, and the scent of firewood gently spreads. The smooth potato soup and the flavorful local vegetable salad instantly lift your spirits. The risotto and lasagna are carefully prepared, and the tanginess of the pickles provides a nice accent. The herb-scented roasted pork is tender, and you can enjoy variations in flavor with salt, fruit sauce, and honey. The gelato and sorbet after the meal are refreshing, leaving you satisfied until the end.

Since it's a style where you reserve and pick up, the waiting time is short, which is helpful. The moment I opened the package, a fragrant aroma wafted up, instantly increasing my appetite. The flavor penetrates deep into the meat without being too salty, and it's delicious no matter where you bite. The skin is crispy, while the inside is moist and not greasy, allowing me to finish it all by myself. Of course, it goes well on its own, but it's also easy to pair with rice, bread, or salad.
