開田高原で何軒かあるうちの蕎麦屋の中でクルマが置きやすいのでその点はポイントが高いお店です。昨今値段がどんどん上がる（かけ蕎麦で930円）のですがお味の方は進歩は無い様です。出汁の取り方が悪く（ケチっているのか）蕎麦の素材をスポイルする傾向かと思います。案の定客の入りも過去に比べて少々悪くなっているようです。春の行楽シーズンの週末の昼時にすんなり入れる（先客は居ませんでした）状態でした。蕎麦の大盛...

Nagano Pref. Kisogunkisomachi Kaidakougensuekawa 2819

Kaida Highland spreads out from the base of Mt. Ontake in Kiso Town, Kiso County, Nagano Prefecture. Jointly run with accommodation Fumotoya which is surrounded by beautiful nature, the handmade soba noodles here are well-considered even among Shinshu and are made with Kaida Highland buckwheat flour. The simple Zaru Soba is popular for its straightforward flavor and feel while eating. The Toji Soba, in which the soba noodles are eaten by boiling them in a basket in warm tsuyu sauce, is also well-regarded.

Nagano Pref. Shiojirishi Narai 721

Located in Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture, this café is inside Naraijuku, which formerly prospered as a post town of Nakasendo Highway. The building is a renovated 200-year old civilian home, but despite the aged exterior, the interior has a charming, comfortable feel that merges East and West. The cakes and sweets are all handmade, all carefully baked up using local ingredients. One popular item is the Shinshu favorite “Gohei mochi set.” Coffee made from freshly brewed beans is good too. The location also used to be a lacquerware factory, so lacquerware and other miscellany are sold inside.

Hier wordt goede koffie vers gezet; er zijn heerlijke taarten en de bediening is vriendelijk. Een prima pitstop!

1710-1 Kamosatsu-cho, Kiso-gun, Nagano Prefecture

This soba restaurant, founded as far back as 1624, is said to be the second oldest restaurant in Japan. The restaurant prides itself on serving great tasting soba with its commitment to “freshly ground, kneaded and boiled” noodles. Their white soba, made using traditional methods unchanged since the restaurant came into being, is one of their most characteristic dishes. The soup which the noodles are served in is made with carefully selected ingredients and tastes superb. A popular dish throughout the year is their soba sushi, and available only during the winter is their kamo nanban (duck and soba). The restaurant can seat groups of up to 40 people although you’ll need to book ahead.

現在営業中の店舗から徒歩5分の旧中山道沿いには開業当時の店舗が残っている。こんなところで蕎麦を食いたかったが、今の国道沿いの店舗はその雰囲気が薄れて残念。味・接遇ともにとてもよいが、日本食は雰囲気も大事！？

Nagano Pref. Komaganeshi Akaho 3145

This is a long-established restaurant (1928) said to be the creator of the famed Komagane cutlet bowl with sauce. This consists of freshly-fried, tender and juicy katsu made with thick, quality pork loin dipped in the sauce made with a secret recipe that has been passed down since the restaurant opened then placed on top of rice topped with thinly sliced cabbage. It is a superb dish with a moreish rich sauce and a temperature difference between the piping hot katsu and the cool cabbage.

Nagano Areas

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
