Experience the genius of Italian cuisine in Karuizawa!

This restaurant has been a coveted destination since I started my food journey.
I received an invitation from an acquaintance, and it was my first visit.
I took a day off and made a day trip to Karuizawa just for this!

The restaurant was open only for a single reservation.
The course included wine pairing.
The menu was likely in Italian, and I couldn't read it...
The explanations of the dishes were delivered quite quickly,
so I only gathered some fragments about the ingredients and cooking methods while enjoying the meal.

The dishes featured a complex layering of various flavors.
Understanding it was quite challenging, and I wish the chef could elaborate on the intentions behind the dishes.
The course portions were fairly small, and if it were just the food, I could have gone for a second round.
The wines were generous, so I ended up quite tipsy...
I particularly liked the pasta in the top picture and the first dish, the mussel appetizer.

I believe the standard of cooking is remarkably high,
but I felt like I wanted to reach a level where I could fully appreciate it.
I’d love to visit this place again in a different season.

Transportation

By Shinkansen: Take a taxi from Karuizawa Station and ask for "Kobayashi's Shop in front of the Shiotsubo Onsen Hotel entrance." The taxi drivers haven't memorized this long name yet. At this time of year, it takes about 15 minutes one way. Be aware that it will take more than 30 minutes in summer and high season. By car: Turn at the "Nakakaruizawa" intersection on National Route 17 and enter National Route 146. After passing the Hoshino area, you will see the entrance to Shiotsubo Onsen Hotel on your right. Just ahead, turn left onto the small path and you will see the end of the path.

2,108 meters from Naka Karuizawa.
