The Karuizawa Roll with blueberries is interesting. Light sponge, cream, and that flaky filling. It&#39;s not too sweet, which I like. A good choice for a simple dessert.

The thick toast was a highlight. Served warm with a nice texture. Place is relaxed, good for a quick business lunch. Service was efficient.

Parking is easy here with a big lot, which is nice since it&#39;s a bit out of the way. The main reason to come is the uni pasta&mdash;so fresh and creamy, totally worth the drive.

This cafe is inside a really old building in the woods. The whole place just feels so quiet and calm. I sat by the window for a long time, just watching the trees. It was exactly the kind of peaceful spot I needed.

Had their tofu lunch set. Really clean flavors, easy on the stomach. The owner suggested a local sake that paired nicely with the silky tofu. Nice chat too. A good reset after a few indulgent days.

The sweet and sour pork at this restaurant is a must-try! It&#39;s perfectly balanced in flavor and pairs wonderfully with rice.

The service was very attentive, and the staff genuinely wanted us to enjoy our meal, which made the experience even better.

The wine selection here is impressive, and the sommelier does a fantastic job pairing wines with the meals. I particularly enjoyed the unique non-alcoholic cocktails they prepared for me, which were just as delightful as the food.

The atmosphere was luxurious and calm, complemented by wonderful music, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion.

The soba noodles have a lovely, firm bite. I had the tempura soba&mdash;the batter was so light and crisp. It was just a really nice, simple bowl.

Been coming here for years, and the breakfast buffet&#39;s always solid. The salads and breads keep me coming back. Coffee refills are a plus, makes the morning easy.

The 8-course tasting menu was a steal for what we got. Each dish was so thoughtfully put together, especially the little surprise between courses. Felt like a proper treat without breaking the bank.

Nice spot for a drink outside. Their hot chocolate is thick and rich, almost like a dessert. I paired it with a small glass of port, which cut through the sweetness nicely. A bit pricey for the size, but a good combo for a relaxed afternoon.

If you&#39;re looking for a unique dining experience, this place is a must-visit. The chef&#39;s commitment to quality and customer service shines through, making every visit memorable.

The tonkatsu was perfectly crisp, not greasy at all. The pork was tender and the sauce had a nice tang. A bit pricey for the portion, but the quality was there.

The restaurant&#39;s location within the hotel provides a serene dining environment, complemented by a well-curated wine selection. It&#39;s a fantastic spot for those looking to enjoy a leisurely meal with a touch of elegance.

The lunch course is a good deal. The shrimp ajillo was nice, but I wish the wine pairing options were a bit more interesting.

Been to a lot of Italian spots here and in Italy. This one is up there. You can really taste the care they put into the ingredients and how they cook everything. The pasta was just right, not too soft. A solid choice.

That local veggie peperoncino pasta was the star for me. They didn&#39;t hold back on the garlic, which gave it such a nice, sharp kick. Really hit the spot.
