A restaurant which serves old fashioned Japanese cuisine prepared around a traditional irori sunken hearth located a 20-minute drive from the Tannan Sasayamaguchi interchange on the Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway. Inside the old fashioned Japanese home-style restaurant, surrounded by abundant natural beauty, diners can sit on a heated floor around an irori hearth and enjoy Hyogo-Ajidori chicken, a variety developed in Hyogo Prefecture; Japanese black beef; and Sasayama beef barbecue and sukiyaki; as well as biwa trout roasted with salt on bamboo skewers and Hyogo-Ajidori chicken miso nabe hotpot (reservation required; parties must consist of at least two people).A particular draw is the restaurant's rich array of mountain foods, such as the seasonal botan nabe boar meat hotpot and the Sasayama beef and Tamba Sasayama matsutake mushroom sukiyaki.
