Chino, Nagano, Japan｜北欧料理 ガムラスタン

A beautiful Swedish restaurant out in the mountains between Chino and Saku, Gamla Stan offers reasonably-priced culinary masterpiece six-course meals. Though you can order piece-meal, I highly recommend choosing one of the two course meals, steak or fish. The fish is fantastic, but I can't help but get the steak every time since it's often accompanied with salisbury steak with beet sauce. Both course meals start with thinly sliced fish with a light mustard sauce, followed by a cream soup, homemade (legit) rye-bread, chilled salad, and the main dish. Each aspect of the meal is majestically made and blends well with the others; You can really cherish each bite. For dessert, you usually get a small slice of cake with ice cream and fruit, paired with your choice of Ceylon tea or coffee. The chef, though not the Swedish chef from the muppets, studied Swedish cooking in its homeland. He speaks English fairly well, too, so if your Japanese isn't up to par, don't worry! 1700 yen for lunch, slightly more for dinner.

Wonderful food with a nice set menu. Best to reserve for lunch and dinner.

Had a wonderful lunch here.
