Kusatsu, Gunma, Japan｜Yasuragitei

Ordered the mushroom tempura and zaru soba set and it was delicious! The amount of food for the price was also very good. The small pork cutlet was tasty as well. They have English menus available but did not seem to offer paying separately. I would happily eat here again!

Food was good they had an English menu as well so ordering was easy. Tempura batter was really light and crispy. We especially loved the mushrooms. Udon was smooth and chewy. Not many restaurants open till late in Kusatsu Onsen so it’s quite safe to head here for dinner if you want

Waited in the snow and -5 degree weather to have lunch here and boy was it worth the wait! They have around 20 seats so do expect a wait around peak dining periods. We arrive around 1235pm and only got in just after 1pm. Their signature buckwheat soba and Maetake mushroom tempura is a must try! They also have duck and local horse meat. For foreigners, there is an English menu. Upon arrival, they serve you a hot cup of ocha and then as you are 80% done with your food, they will serve you some hot soba water (almost like rice water) in a teapot. Finish your team and have some of it in the same cup.
