Nagano, Japan｜石亭

Nice hole in the wall izakaya. Place is served by a single owner and his children (I presume), who were very friendly. Nice atmosphere with groups of people coming in after work for a hearty drink, giving the place a warm and homely vibe. Food is great too (free appetizers!), although it might take a while to come, though understandable due to the limited capacity.

Great restaurant with fresh ingredients! Ordered sashimi platter and tempura platter to share with reasonable prices. Has an English menu available for any travellers! Can wait long as only run by the chef and a waiter.

The food is incredible - especially the sashimi and shrimp tempura. We felt very welcome by the friendly service. This was one of my favorite meals I've had in Japan. A+
