Yamanochi, Nagano, Japan｜The Farmhouse

Good restaurant with a range of locally brewed craft beers on tap. The lunch menu includes a quarter roast chicken. The service is quick and friendly. A price of a half pint of beer is discounted at lunch. Closed on Mondays, unless a holiday.

A lovely place to relax, enjoy some craft beer and some wicked food after a visit to see the Monkees. It’s been really exciting to see what the Japanese are introducing into the world of craft beer and this establishment along with its Brewery down the road, had some great offers. I particularly liked their efforts with introducing a drink. That is a combination of both sake and beer.. their “Nigori” style… it was really great. I think that had some great Saison styles too!

Do, by far the best beer I've had in Japan. Don't know if it matters, but I make my own beer in the U.S. for fun. My favorite was the imperial stout, very smooth, and rich in flavor. Staff absolutely amazing and had a good time.
