    Yamagata Pref. Tsuruokashi Haguromachitouge 7
    This facility offering food and accommodation is located on the grounds of Dewasanzan Shrine, in Haguro Town, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture. As a temple originally named “Kezouin,” it is the last remaining building to have been lived in by Haguro mountain priests. One can enjoy the delicate and exquisite taste of seasonal mountain vegetables and mushrooms picked from the foot of Dewasanzan, used in vegetarian cuisine and said to have entertained the poet Matsuo Basho, famous for writing “Oku no Hosomichi” (The Narrow Road to Oku). Accommodation is available but there are few private rooms, most being partitioned rooms amidst a larger one.

    Our meal at Saikan came at the end of a weekend getaway for myself and 5 friends. We visited the Temple at the top of Mt Haguro in April. There is still deep snow then and unfortunately, it was...

    Yamagata Pref. Yamagatashi Kasumichou 1-7-7
    This izakaya Japanese-style pub is near to Yamagata Station and focuses on Yamagata products. They offer a variety of Yamagata home-style cooking using fresh Shonai seafood and vegetables, and Yonezawa beef including stewed taros, tamakon konjac balls. There is also a wide variety of local sakes such as Dewazakura, Jokigen and Kudokijozu on the menu bought direct from the brewers by the owner.

    They offer almost all the Yamagata Sake so Sake lovers should like this place. However the kind of dishes are somewhat limited and the price is rather expensive. I mean the taste is good but not good...

    鶴岡駅から車で湯野浜温泉へ向かう途中にあります。 古民家風のお店です。 玄関で靴を脱いで上がります。 個室もあるようですが、大きなお部屋のテーブル席でした。 昼膳は、メイン2品を選び、また小鉢ふた皿で、1,250円。 メインは、豚肉とサメの天麩羅をチョイス。 ご飯はひとめぼれと玄米半々で。 小鉢は、こちらで採れた無農薬野菜。 素朴な感じのお店でした。

    吹雪の夜、鶴岡の名物『鱈汁』の定食を頂きました。 お酒は要らなかったので、定食でお腹いっぱい堪能しました。 鱈汁は、あらゆる部位が入っているのですが、そのお陰でお出汁がたっぷりでていて、美味しかったです。 駅からは少し離れていますが、ビジネスホテルが近くにあるのでそういうひとが近くですませるのに良さそうてす。

    三名で個室利用でした。 前回は隣の少し大きな個室でしたが 炉端の席よりゆっくりできるので良いです。 寒ブリのお刺身は大きくて食べ応え良く 白子の焼きも茹でも大変美味しくいただきました。 スタッフもきちんとした対応で まったく問題はありません。 山形駅からもタクシーですぐですので お勧めできます。

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
