Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan｜ハンバーグ＆パスタＢＥＮＳＯＮ

Great place and tasty food, picture is dated - I like the current decor much better. Cash only.

Since it was Sunday, all the shops on the main street were full, so I wandered around and found a nice looking shop that was empty, so I went in. We ordered a pasta lunch for two, and both the shrimp arrabbiata and salmon cream sauce were very delicious, and we were glad to have found a good restaurant. I was able to spend lunch time in a very calm atmosphere with an old American atmosphere.

I used it with a family of four (only adults) on the middle day of the three consecutive holidays. It is a short walk to the north from the municipal Kyu-Karuizawa parking lot. Only table seats are available. There is a sofa along the wall. I searched for a hamburger steak for lunch, and I decided on BENSON because everyone's photos looked delicious. We ordered stewed hamburger, teriyaki hamburger, Italian cheese hamburger, and pork saute. Rice and bread are charged separately. I ordered an Italian cheese hamburger, but the hamburger was covered in so much tomato sauce that I couldn't even see it. Cheese is on top style. Thick and very delicious! (Please eat and feel the meaning of thick cheese.) The hamburger steak is overflowing with tomato sauce and cheese. Sauteed vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, broccoli and turnips were also delicious. My brother ordered the stewed hamburger steak, but he usually doesn't say "delicious" unless he asks "Is it delicious?" In addition to main dishes such as pasta, gnocchi, curry, beef stroganoff, and steak, there are also a la carte items such as oyster gratin and quiche. It seems that alcohol is also going on. In addition to the regular menu written on the menu table, there is also a menu on the wall, so please take a look. I went there around 12:00 noon, but I was able to enter immediately because it was off the main street. I liked the calm and mature atmosphere of the shop, so I definitely want to use it next time I go to Karuizawa.
