A Legendary Dining Experience

Many people are likely aware that the previous chef of this restaurant ran a highly popular French restaurant in Azabu. After closing the bustling establishment and moving to Karuizawa, it felt as if Tokyo was missing a French restaurant.

Those familiar with this charming building in Nakagawakura know that it was remodeled for this purpose, and that the wine cellar boasts some impressive vintage items. I often wonder how they managed to preserve wine in such cold Karuizawa, where temperatures can easily drop below -10 degrees; considering the challenges faced by Primavera, which holds one of the largest wine cellars in the area.

While I currently only drink Pinot, I still remember opening some aged Bordeaux here in my younger days.

Regardless of whether you appreciate peach soup, first-time visitors should definitely give it a try. If you love literature, it’s also nice to recall that this building was once owned by the author Mizukami.

I had a friend who, if still alive today, would be over 100 years old; they used to tell stories about staying with Mizukami at Todo-in during their teenage years. This legendary restaurant always brings those memories back to me.
