Otawara, Tochigi, Japan｜禅味一笑

Great feeling in this building. Worth a visit for lunch and heads-up the hill for a walk

I stopped by for lunch after seeing hydrangeas at Kurobane Castle Ruins Park and visiting Daiyuji Temple. It has an old-fashioned atmosphere, but it was clean, and the staff were friendly and very comfortable. Some people wrote in their reviews, ``It was just my husband's one-on-one surgery...'', but when I visited, a woman served the meals and it didn't take long. I had vegetable tempura and salt-grilled sweetfish. The soba noodles were thin and I liked them. The tempura is also crispy. The sweetfish was also very tasty with just the right amount of salt. Admire the beautiful hydrangeas, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the thatched roof of Daioji Temple, and enjoy delicious soba and salt-grilled sweetfish in the home of sweetfish. It's been a very good day. I would like to visit you again.

The soba noodles were very delicious. The soup tastes good too.
