Loved the plant-based set meal here! The ginger cider was so refreshing, perfect for a chill catch-up with friends. 😊

Parking&#39;s easy here, which is a plus. The portions are huge, so it&#39;s definitely a sharing kind of place. We ordered the fried chicken and a couple of sides, and still had leftovers to take home. Good for a casual meal with friends.

The handmade soba noodles were the highlight for me. I had the cold version, and the texture was just right&mdash;firm and fresh. The broth for the hot soba was clean-tasting, not too heavy. Really appreciated the quality of the buckwheat.

Stopped by after seeing Matsumoto Castle. The tonkatsu set was the move &mdash; the pork cutlet had a really nice, crispy breading. They even include a little piece of pineapple for dessert, which was a fun touch. It&#39;s a popular lunch spot, so maybe expect a short wait.

Walked in hungry, saw the Japanese menu prices first. Ordered the wagyu steak anyway - it was really juicy. Sashimi was fresh too. Just noticed later the English menu was a bit pricier.

Grilled chicken set was good, the drink&#39;s included. But the rice portion was huge, honestly too much for me. Couldn&#39;t finish it.

The grilled saba was perfectly cooked, and the stir-fried kimchi had such a genuine taste. The booth seating was very comfortable, which made the whole meal quite relaxing. Just a nice, straightforward dinner.

Food came out super fast, perfect for a quick lunch. The plates are really nice, makes the meal feel a bit special. Staff is friendly too. Got my order and was out the door in no time.

Just the chef and one assistant. Sat at the counter and watched him cook everything. Felt really personal, like a private show. The food was good, but the whole vibe was the best part.

The fried rice is a solid choice. Good portion, plenty of ingredients mixed in well. More substantial than the usual side you get at ramen places. Quick service too.

This restaurant offers some of the best Mexican food I&#39;ve ever had! The burritos are massive and the jalape&ntilde;os are a must-try. Highly recommend the margaritas too!

The refined flavor of Kobe Wagyu beef was outstanding, and the chef&#39;s passion for quality ingredients was evident. This restaurant offers an exceptional experience that exceeds its price, making it a must-visit for anyone in Karuizawa.

A tiny place, run by one person who does everything. You can feel the focus in every bowl. The broth was rich, noodles just right. A quiet, simple meal that felt honest.

The counter seats are the best. Just watching the chefs grill skewers in that cozy, traditional izakaya light&hellip; it&rsquo;s so calming. A nice spot to unwind after a long day.

Parking was a bit tight, but they had a second lot. The location is convenient, just up the slope from the station.

Been coming here for years. The staff always remember my usual order, and they&#39;re just genuinely nice people. It&#39;s that kind of consistent, friendly service that keeps me coming back.

The onsen manju are freshly made here. The dough is soft and fluffy, and the red bean filling isn&#39;t too sweet, which is nice. A pretty good little treat.

Stumbled upon this place after visiting the monkeys. It&#39;s a short walk from the bus stop, which was perfect. The English menu was a lifesaver. I tried the curry udon&mdash;the broth was so rich and warming on a cold day.

Shoes off at the table. That detail made it feel real. Just like my last trip to Kyoto. The grilled mackerel was spot on. A bit pricey, but worth it for the vibe.

The broth was so creamy and rich, almost like a warm hug. I just focused on that. The dumplings were crispy too, but that ramen really stayed with me. Good portions for the price.

Been coming here for years. The pork modan yaki is my go-to. Always a generous portion, flavor is spot on and it&#39;s never too heavy. Just right with a cold beer.
