Azumino, Nagano, Japan｜蔵のカフェレストラン 清雅

About 200 meters north of the Prefectural Children's Hospital. A cafe with an atmosphere that was renovated from a rice storehouse built in 1896. I came here on the recommendation of Monsieur at the direct sales store. Monsieur's favorite Milanese-style cutlets made from Azumino pasture-raised pork were purchased directly from contracted livestock farmers, so we had to give up on reservations, which limited to 5 servings per day. The weekly pasta is available for a limited time only and is very reasonably priced as it uses plenty of seasonal local ingredients. All of the dishes are seasoned with gentle flavors that emphasize the taste of the ingredients. Lunch set prices range from ¥900 to ¥1,800. Drinks could also be alcoholic for an additional fee. The young girl on staff was always smiling and cute and soothing.

The atmosphere inside the store feels like it's cut off from the outside world. Delicious food. A cafe restaurant that will make you forget the passage of time.

It was a very nice restaurant with great taste and atmosphere! ️ I casually entered the store with my children. We arrived mid-afternoon on a weekday, and about 80% of the seats were occupied. I ordered pasta, omelet rice, and hot sandwich for the lunch set. It was crowded, so it took a while to serve, so I added an apple pie as a binder while appeasing the child who was silly. Sorry for being so noisy. The salty taste of the salsiccia in the pasta was just right, and the hot sandwich had a lot of vegetables in it, which made me feel full. As for the children, the older one remained silent while the younger one kept saying delicious things while eating every bite. It's a stylish cafe restaurant, so I felt it was a little difficult for people with children. It might be best to avoid it when it's crowded, but both parents and children will be satisfied with the taste. Next time, I would like to aim for a time when I won't disturb other customers.
