Hakuba, Nagano, Japan｜Grindel

Best after a long cold day of skiing. The grilled bacon steak strike a perfect balance between salty and fatty taste. Wash down with a pint of Japanese draft beer and you have a full warm belly ready for tomorrow’s ski <3

Very nice traditional 'kissaten style' dishes (aka menu looks like bistrot from the 70's. Not hight end. But it is good and feed you). The tenant are as all elderly Japanese much gentle and pleasant. If you are in Hakuba you need to go to this place before it close). I ran out of battery, so let me describes and you can imagine : Took the Hamburg with cheese, excellent; with a yummy sauce in a hot iron pan. With a nama biru. Note: the wine is Japanese koshu. (Not so great - stay with the beer or with nihonchuu). There a also some homemade saussages and smoked duck. Of course if you come here after a full sports day (ski or climbing) omori is possible.

GAIJIN-FRIENDLY BUSINESS. Top home made sausages and hearty portions to not let any big guy go home hungry. Though the quality is top class, prices are as friendly as the staff there.
