This is a restaurant for kaiseki-ryori (Japanese course cuisine) located alongside a romantic old Japanese highway in Nikko City’s Kamihatsuishi Town. Guests can easily enjoy kaiseki-ryori which uses plenty of seasonal local ingredients such as Nikko yuba (bean-curd skin). Part of the appeal of this restaurant with the appearance of an old Japanese-style house is its ambience that is even easy for single customers to enter.

Tochigi Pref. Tochigishi Kauemonchou 5-27

This old shop was founded as an oil shop during the Edo period, but then went on to manufacture miso. They use domestically-produced soy beans to make their “aburaden miso” —naturally fermented in a traditional wooden barrel, with no additives, to produce a rich, aromatic taste. At the dengaku miso shop in the corner, you can try konnyaku dengaku, tofu dengaku, and sato-imo dengaku. The five buildings, including a Meiji-period storehouse, are designated as National Tangible Cultural Properties, as well as a charming fireplace in the back.

何とも趣のある歴史を感じさせる建物でした。味噌田楽盛り合わせ(3本セットで550円）をいただきました。炭で時間をかけて焼いています。味の異なる味噌が3本それぞれにつけられています。建屋の中も歴史そのもの。太い梁が何本も見られ、大正あるいは明治時代（？）の電話もそのまま。囲炉裏も。歴史のある雰囲気に身をおきながら、落ち着いたひとときを過ごしました。

Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
