Nozawaonsen, Nagano, Japan｜郷土料理 治作

This is one of the most delicious food places in Nozawa. It’s completely nondescript but the food. Yummy! My husband, daughter and I have eaten here twice and both times have walked away satisfied and filled to the brim. The variety of dishes is just enough to make you happy and there’s something for even the fussiest of eaters - if you like traditional Japanese food. Fried shrimp, squid, agedashi tofu, okonomiyaki, chicken yakitori, miso soup, onigiri- just some of what we shared and ate. Each dish is carefully prepared and well worth the wait. They don’t take bookings and it can get so busy that people will queue up to eat here. It’s luck of the draw really and well worth it. It’s value for money and great for couples, romantic dates, and families. Thy have a variety of alcoholic drinks but do lack in the soft drink department. Kids are still happy. I’ve heard other people remarking as they’re eating how delicious the food is. When they’re leaving, how satisfied they are. Children especially. Thanks a big thumbs up! It’s cosy and not fancy at all. It’s down to earth mom and pop joint and it’s home away from home (especially if you’re used to eating great food at home). This place is a must. I highly recommend it.

Homely and cozy izakaya. Food is delicious and in good portion.

We had ginger pork, yam pancake and teriyaki chicken they are all very tasty. Have to come early otherwise it’s always full.
