Nagano Variety Set Menu

The restaurant's signature menu is packed with the flavors of Shinshu. You can enjoy small portions such as the main beef sukiyaki hotpot, Shinshu salmon, tempura and small side dishes made with seasonal ingredients. Please enjoy our carefully prepared dishes according to the season.

Japanese beef hitsumabushi

Luxurious two-colored bowls of tataki and simmered wagyu beef served with three kinds of condiments. To finish off the dish, you can enjoy it until the end by making it ochazuke-style with bonito stock and beef with sesame dressing.

Throwing soba noodles

This is a specialty hot pot at Sonmin Shokudo, which can be enjoyed in the style of Shinshu's local dish "Touji Soba." The broth made from bonito and kelp, six kinds of fragrant mushrooms, and meatballs that you add yourself create a deep flavor similar to a combination broth. Place the soba in a basket, "toss" it into the hot pot, heat it up, and enjoy.
