Hokuto, Yamanashi, Japan｜DILL eat,life.

After checking Google maps I was happy to find this restaurant near our cabin. I had very little by way of expectations as any expectations held were based solely on the various images by previous bloggers, which typically isn't a fair basis of review. However, having lived in vegan heavy communities in the past, I have grown fond of simple, clean dishes consisting of colorful vegetables. I'm a simple man. Upon arriving I was happy to see that the actual shop was very well kept. The location was charmingly tucked away, hidden from the main road by a shroud of trees and accessible by a small wooden path. We opted to take the terrace, as we were in the company of our children and didn't want to upset the restaurants laid back back vibe. Long story short, the food was absolutely great. It was presented as advertised. I ordered the jalapeño chicken, which was served with a side of some fresh vegetables that made me envious of anyone living in more rural areas. The veggies were criiiiiisp my dude. In fact, they were the highlight of all of our meals. The chicken itself was nice, but nothing to punch your mother over. Just nice. That being said, the vibe of the space, the fresh fresh veggies, prepared in various ways. The fact that it's maintained a relatively decent reputation in a town mostly known for being dog friendly and horse forward. This spot is great, and I would put it on par with some of the finest veggie forward joints that you would be lucky to find in any big city. Any review with less than 4 is tripping. Read the "tabelog" reviews. "the food was great but there was no desert :(...3 stars" Take a walk homie. Cheers.

It was made with plenty of organic vegetables, and above all, it had a taste that made my body happy. The BGM also uses records and vacuum tube amplifiers, which is very soothing.

This is a restaurant where you can spend a blissful time with dishes made with plenty of organic vegetables and warm soup. You can have lunch while listening to comfortable background music and the atmosphere of the shop is good. You can enjoy a relaxing time with your family or friends.
