Chikuhoku, Nagano, Japan｜ブルーメン

This restaurant is operated by a sweet elderly couple who lives in the village. The restaurant is underground and has a really cool local feel to it. The portion sizes are huge for the price you pay and the food is delicious. A hidden gem, should visit if you're in the area and try their Mochi Pizza. If you're there with a friend I would suggest also order a set to share between two people because it really is a lot of food.

The entrance is on the 2nd floor, and the Kaze-no-Café is located in the basement. I only do lunch. Ordered the popular ramen and cutlet curry set. Ramen has the best scent and taste of burnt green onions. It's a gentle taste that even elderly people can drink up to the soup. The cutlet of cutlet curry is thin but the curry with plenty of curry is very delicious. This taste and volume are the best for 1000 yen ☺️Is there a lot? I thought, but I was able to eat it normally. The scenery that can be seen from the window on the side of the track and the trains that occasionally pass were also nice. It was more delicious than I expected. I would like to come again.

Cutlet and hamburger curry 1000 yen I feel like I'm doing this all the time, but I'm doing it properly. The curry is thick and deep, properly made, and not spicy. The hamburger is thin and soft, just pork? The seasoning is strong and goes well with the curry. The cutlet is thin and has a hard coating that is crispy, which goes well with the curry. It's rare these days for the toilet to be empty. A shop run by an elderly couple that I hope will continue forever.
