Azumino, Nagano, Japan｜湧水飯釜 大王庵

An unforgettable experience at this beautiful amazing farm in the wonderful prefecture of Nagano. I came to see wasabi farms, grate some wasabi, eat some wasabi, and I did all of that. I loved the soba here, it wasn't that different from soba I'd been eating in the rest of Japan, but we're in Nagano which prides itself on its buckwheat noodles. They were served with some miso soup, a rice dish with some mix-ins and of course a full stem of wasabi with a steel grater. I got thru a lot of the stem since real wasabi actually isn't as strong as the fake stuff you get in the US, but the kick is more subtle, earthier, even sweet to an extent. Their shichimi went well with the food too so I bought one to take home. The view of the farm while eating was also memorable :)

2023/6/13 (Tuesday) I stopped by Daio Wasabi Farm for the first time in decades. It was crowded even on weekdays. A lot of people from overseas also enjoyed inbound. The green of the fresh green 💚 was very beautiful and I enjoyed taking a walk. There were a lot of restaurants, so I got lost, but I stopped by Daioan. Wasabi rice, local beer, fried rainbow trout, and homemade wasabi pickled shochu were all delicious. I thought the atmosphere and service was very good. Draft beer 🍺, real wasabi rice, and fried rainbow trout after walking for more than an hour and a half 🐟It was very delicious😁 ① Draft beer 🍺 Ichiban Shibori Wasabi rice🍚 Soba steamer (soba noodles) ②Hyoga Lager (Beer) (Kita Alps Brewery) ③Wasabi root shochu pickled rock (juice) Spring water jelly with soybean flour and brown sugar syrup (dessert) Wasabi rice (rice) was really delicious (delicious) Everyone was delicious~ (delicious) Miso soup (miso soup) is not good 😅 You can use PayPay.

It was crowded, but I didn't have to wait long to get in. Food was also served quickly. Wasabi is delicious
