Enjoy Rural Cuisine of Wild Vegetable at “Irori Jinen”
Going down the Okutadami Silver Line toward Koide, take left at the end of the road and you will find a restaurant called “Irori Jinen (いろりじねん)”. This is an old folk house restaurant, which starts their business in spring but closes in winter. Guests can enjoy local cuisine using plenty of regional vegetables. They only served 15 servings a day, therefore, reservations are required. Their Udon and soba noodles are great, but what we recommend the most is their “Omakase set meal”. Omakase means "I leave it up to you". You can enjoy rare ingredients unique to Yunotani Village where the restaurant is located. Why don’t you have lunch there after check-out?
