Came for the mochi pizza and craft beer combo on a Tuesday night. It was super quiet, just a few other tables. The pizza was chewy and warm, perfect with the cold beer. A nice, relaxed spot.

Tried the fried rice with my ramen for the first time. It has this really distinct, smoky aroma that somehow works with the broth. A solid combo for a solo dinner.

Stumbled upon this spot. The plum wine was just the right amount of sweet, went great with the food. For the price, the portion of the main dish felt a bit small though. Still, a nice find.

The sake tasting set was a total hit with my friends! We loved trying the local brews, especially the Shinshu Kirei. Perfect for a casual catch-up. The staff was really helpful in explaining them too. 🍶

Portions are generous here. The veggie sushi rolls are noticeably larger than what you&#39;d get in Tokyo. Tempura was crisp and fresh. Good for a quick business dinner, though they do close early.

The staff were really polite and cheerful. Even when we had to wait a bit, they handled everything efficiently and kept things pleasant.

Had to wait in line for about 30 mins for dinner, but it moved fast. The vibe was perfect for catching up with friends&mdash;everyone was chatting and laughing. It was a bit loud, but honestly that just made it more fun for our group.

The buns are made fresh right there, you can watch them. I got the apple pie and strudel too. For the price, the portions were really generous. Felt like a good deal.

Been coming here for years, and the special takoyaki plate they do for birthdays is the main reason. It&#39;s always the same, always good. That consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Convenient spot between Nagano Station and Zenkoji. Grabbed a quick lunch before heading to the temple. The katsu curry was solid, decent portion for the price. The place was a bit crowded though, had to wait a few minutes for a seat.

Just had a proper lunch here by Nagano Station. The food was solid &ndash; a real step up from grabbing a quick bite. Service was fast, which was nice as I was between trains. Portion was decent too.

The premium unagi was a decent portion, grilled nicely over charcoal. It had a pretty good aroma. I left feeling satisfied, though the price is a bit on the higher side.

Good spread for a hotel buffet. The local sake in the morning was a nice surprise, actually enjoyed it. Made the start of the day feel a bit different.

I always look for smaller portions, so the half-size ramen was perfect for me. The broth had a clean, rich flavor. The black sesame tsukemen was great, the noodles had a nice chew and the pork was tender. A good spot for a light, satisfying meal.

The Kame Gozen set is the one to get. It&#39;s a sampler of their different miso styles. The yuzu and walnut miso konjac stood out for me&mdash;really distinct, savory flavor. Helped me pick a jar to take home.

The apricot sweets are lovely, a nice local specialty. The cafe is easy to find right by the Zenkoji Daimon bus stop. I found the seats to be quite comfortable, which made for a very relaxed visit.

The yakitori skewers were tasty and the English menu made ordering a breeze. I really liked the casual, lively vibe in here - it felt like a proper izakaya. Prices were pretty fair too.

Been coming here for years, and the noodles are still just right for me. Slightly thicker, on the softer side. The broth is always strong and rich. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The vegetable tempura set was solid. Batter was light and crisp, not oily. Good variety of seasonal vegetables, each piece cooked just right. A reliable choice for a quick business lunch.

I had a wonderful birthday dinner here! The staff were incredibly friendly and even surprised me with a &#39;Happy Birthday&#39; message on my dessert, which made the evening even more special.

Wi-Fi works fine, but the power outlets are only at the counter seats. I had to move my laptop there to charge. Good to know for next time!

Stumbled upon this spot. The curry with shrimp was pretty good, the sauce had a nice depth. Also tried the cream croquettes on the side, they were a solid choice. Service was fine, no complaints. A decent find.

Came here for lunch with a couple friends. The bamboo-steamed lunch box with Shinshu beef was so good! The meat was super tender, just melted. Perfect for a casual catch-up. 😊

The outdoor tables are always clean, nice spot to sit for a while.

A nice spot for a coffee break. The croissant was flaky and buttery, just how I like it. Found a quiet table in the back to relax for a bit. The bread selection looked promising, will try a loaf next time.
