Omachi, Nagano, Japan｜酒楽亭たきょう

Amazing experience! I was told by my host to try this place out as it serves quality boar meat. I let the owner decide on my meal, and he did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and flavourful. The alcohol was really strong and refreshing as well. It was a low season, so I was the only one in there shortly after the other 2 left. We chatted and laughed a lot, conversing in each others language with the help of an app. This is an experience that I will never forget!

We enjoyed dishes unique to this area, such as horse sashimi and stewed venison. The fried oysters come with 5 pieces and go well with the tartar sauce. The suiton is delicious with plenty of vegetables and mushrooms. Horse mackerel tataki has just the right amount of condiments. You can spend a relaxing time in a private room. I came by car because I came for sightseeing, but it was convenient because there was a free municipal parking lot nearby. Since we're all in Shimoto, it's not a problem for us to come by car, but they also call a substitute service, so it's fine even if you come by car from your hotel.

I never thought you could eat such fresh sashimi near Shinano-Omachi Station. The horse sashimi is delicious and the presentation is elaborate. I was surprised that the fried oysters were served on the shell! The menu is extensive and bottles are cheap. There was only one owner, but he was quick and friendly. I want to go again. Visited again for lunch The special tempura bowl is reasonably priced at 1000 yen. It's definitely delicious!
