Peach Soup Announcing Summer in Karuizawa: A Specialty of Our Hidden French Restaurant
Nestled in the lush greenery of Karuizawa, the restaurant "L'Hermitage de Tamura" lives up to its name, which means "hideaway" in French. Chef Yoshio Tamura, who has experience in France and was the owner-chef of the popular "La Fête d'Or" in Nishiazabu, Tokyo, has brought his unique ideas to Karuizawa. Here, you can enjoy exquisite French cuisine based on his extensive 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.
