Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan｜BISTRO 響

To say we enjoyed our dinner very much is an understatement. This place has blown us away with its fresh ingredients and delicate, authentic cooking techniques. The horse sashimi with half boiled egg mixture is unbelievably delicious, no raw or weird taste at all. The Shinshu sirloin streak just melt away in the mouth, and steak cooked to perfection. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience!

We were very surprised we were immediately taken to a table in a private room just walking off the street. The waiter was very pleasant and kind. He made sure to explain each dish and kept up on our drinks. The food was truly incredible. The presentation was impeccable and the steak was mouth watering. My husband said it was one of the best steaks he has had in a long time. We got the pickled vegetables, the 2 different beef steaks, and the passion fruit dessert. All tasted as they should and were surprisingly filling for the portion sizes. Spent about 13,500 yen. I couldn’t believe it was that cheap. In the United States a place like this would cost over $150. We were very impressed and recommend this for anyone near by. Great spot for foreigners too.

Probably one of the best bistro I ever had Great food with great service and great drinks! The sauces in this restaurant is complicate but delicious. Extra plate was hot if it’s served with steak, ice cold if it’s with cake. Extraordinary quality compared to it’s price Definitely recommend!
