**Highlights**
- Beautifully presented dishes
- Generous portion sizes
- Enjoy both fish and meat options
- Extensive selection of glass wines
- Includes post-meal drinks: coffee, tea, and herbal tea
The classic appetizer of sea urchin and cauliflower mousse was particularly delicious, featuring chunks of crab and shrimp. Considering the cost, many renowned restaurants in Karuizawa charge quite a bit for both meat and fish in their courses, but here you can enjoy both at a relatively affordable price, which is fantastic.
I prefer to explore different types of wine, and the option to choose glass wines around JPY 800 is perfect for us, as the pairing sets can feel a bit excessive.
My companion raved about the chestnut mille-feuille for dessert.
We had a wonderful meal. It was a great meal.
