HAKKO YAMANOUCHI
A dining bar in a converted old building in front of Yudanaka Station, serving creative dishes made with Shinshu fermented foods and craft beers.
A dining bar that opened in 2016 in a former fruit and vegetable shop in the hot spring district. Its creative dishes combine local ingredients with eight types of fermented foods, including miso, soy sauce, sake, yogurt and cheese. Lunch includes salt-koji marinated herb chicken cutlet, sake-lees mentaiko cream pasta and a daily curry. In the evening, guests can order house-made kimchi pickled in Shiga Kogen beer and miso potato salad, along with more than twenty kinds of craft beer from across Japan. Staff speak some English, and many foreign visitors come here. Lunch costs about ¥1,000–1,800, and dinner about ¥2,000–3,000 per person. It is about a 3-minute walk from Yudanaka Station.
