Uenohara, Yamanashi, Japan｜風林亭

Off the beaten path, this place specializes in homemade sourdough udon! Went for lunch and the set comes with a cold udon salad with local veggies and cured meats for the first course and a small udon soup for the second and then dessert. Delicious! The owner of the restaurant grows his own veggies and the meat is locally sourced. My toddler was running around and they were very kind and understanding. Hope to come back again.

Amazingly passionate and kind chef who offers food from his farm and the local area. Our first dish had over 30 different things on the plate. Definitely coming back!

Beautiful farm-to-table style restaurant that is off the beaten track. Fantastic value (¥5k set dinner course) cooked with fresh, local ingredients. Run by a very welcoming and accommodating couple who make the experience even more special.
