Nagano, Japan｜天ぷらと寿司18坪

A great meal and beaut ambience. It was great to watch our chef prepare wonderful meals with fresh ingredients. He even helped us Ozzies navigate the Japanese menus with a big smile. The staff were so helpful and friendly. This is a must visit restaurant whilst in Nagano just outside the train stations Western entrance. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!

This tiny stand-up restaurant is a truly unique establishment. Watching both chefs take your order, expertly prepare your food, and move around each other with almost scientific precision is only the welcoming touch to a really fantastic meal full of fresh ingredients and meticulously prepared recipes. Although english is not spoken, the kind, generous attitude of the staff, and the consideration put into a menu carefuly translated into english, make this an accesible place for tourists as well as locals. Finally: do try their list of sake and wines. They carry some excellent, locally produced sparkling wine that is sure to go well with your food.

So delicious! The tempula is so good, nice sushi and sashimi. The sake collection is good as well. Highly recommended in Nagano.
