Fujimi, Nagano, Japan｜Kiertotie

A restaurant with a nice atmosphere that is frequented by locals (average age is older). I visited after 12:00 on weekdays, and even though there was one group of customers before me and several more after that, the place was never full. For lunch, there are two choices: a bread plate for 1,000 yen or a rice set for 1,400 yen. I had dinner, but it was home-made and comforting. The flavor is strong and the portion is not large, but it comes with a drink and is very satisfying. The bright, clean, handmade interior and friendly customer service will satisfy your stomach and soul, allowing you to relax. It may be a little hard to notice because the prefectural road intersects with the expressway and curves.

The shop was clean and the food was delicious. Lunch 1,400 yen may seem a little expensive, but it comes with a drink, so I don't think it's that bad. There are not as many customers as in the city center, so low profit and high sales are not possible. Opened in January at a small shop, it's delicious It is a pleasure to serve you. (Many shops around here close from January to March.) This volume of delicious cake is a bargain at +400 yen for lunch orders✨ The shop staff was also smiling and nice customer service. I will repeat 😊

In conclusion, it's a great store, but I don't want it to be crowded. It's on the side of a slope and a curve with poor visibility, and the expressway runs above the building, so it's not easy to find. Perhaps because of that, it was empty when I visited in the afternoon. The parking lot can accommodate about 7 cars, and there is a nice garden surrounding the store, which you can see is well-maintained. The store is clean and bright with many windows, and the staff are courteous and pleasant, warming your heart from the beginning. The menu is a prix fixe meal with two courses for lunch, but it was both nutritionally balanced and visually appealing, and of course it tasted delicious. Maybe it was because it wasn't too crowded, but we had a nice and relaxing time. As the name suggests, this is the kind of store you want to take a detour to. There aren't many restaurants in this area, and the good ones fill up quickly on holidays, so I personally don't want them to be crowded. I hate not being able to enter.
