Nagano, Japan｜あさひや食堂

I visited on a Sunday around 11:30. Based on the reviews, it seems to be a popular restaurant, so I was prepared to wait in line, but since it was before noon, I was able to be seated without waiting. There were two customers in the store, and one left around the time I ordered, so I recommend arriving early. The restaurant has table seats and a small raised area, and in the small raised area, customers who appeared to be a three-generation family were happily waiting for their food, making it a relaxing space. I like tonkatsu and curry, so I wanted to try the cutlet curry, but I was interested in the horse meat bowl, so I ordered that. The price was 950 yen. The food was delivered in less than 10 minutes. At first glance, is there less meat? However, there was a lot of meat in the rice, and the seasoning was just right, so I was able to keep eating till the end without getting bored. I added shichimi in the middle and enjoyed the taste. I had the impression that the horse meat would become tough when stewed, but it was soft and chewy and easy to eat. The fatty meat in particular was soft and creamy, with a light sweetness, and was extremely delicious. I want to eat horse meat bowl next time, but I have other things to worry about so I'm not sure lol I have traveled back and forth between Matsumoto and Nagano many times at high speed, but I was blindsided by the fact that there was such a delicious restaurant in the middle. When I have free time, I would like to take the lower route and visit you again.

Speaking of delicious restaurants in Shinshu Shinmachi, Asahiya Shokudo is one of them. The cutlet curry is popular for its large servings, but horse meat udon and horse meat set meals are also famous. It's delicious no matter what you eat. The cutlet curry is usually 1,200 yen, but it is quite large, so let's eat it carefully.

It was my first time eating horse meat bowl. It was so delicious that I ate it like crazy. I also ordered giblets stew and it was excellent.
