A truly wonderful discovery! Farm to plate menu beautifully prepared and presented. Do a set option to fully experience the best of local Hokkaido produce. We were lucky to have a local guide but translation app is a must. The pottery is also amazing and all made next door by the same lovely, talented people. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

This place is so charming, the food is delicious (with very reasonable prices!), and the ceramics are lovely. We’re here in the early spring, but I imagine it’s gorgeous during summertime! 🌱 Vegetarian options available!

A lunch course from Hokkaido's "Shokusai." Payment is cash only Reservations in advance are recommended The organic vegetables served in wooden bowls have an unadorned beauty. The food from this restaurant, which has continued to support the area's school lunches since the earthquake, is not just delicious but also reminds us of what matters. I want to come again.

There was a review saying the appetizers were a buffet, but that's no longer the case. I came for lunch for the first time. It's course menus only. There are courses A, B, and C depending on the price, and for each you choose from 2 types of main dish. For an extra 300 yen you get unlimited coffee, but even without it, cold oolong tea and hot black tea are self-serve and unlimited. The variety seems to change depending on the day. The broccoli in the salad is large and impressive. I was told it's delicious to crush the boiled egg on top of the mayonnaise, mix it into a tartar, and eat it with the broccoli. The mayonnaise had a gentle flavor, so it felt a little lacking. It's topped with walnuts, so people with allergies should be careful. The appetizers (pickles, smoked mackerel, mashed potato wrapped in prosciutto, cheese, eggplant with meat sauce?) were delicious. The main dish of pork was also delicious. The other one, the gratin, had one large-ish shrimp and one slice of mushroom, with no macaroni. It was salty, perhaps from the cheese, which was a little disappointing. The whole wheat bread was delicious, but if it were rice, I could have eaten it doria-style and might not have minded the saltiness so much… the amount of rice is small. The orange ice cream for dessert was very delicious. The tableware seems to be made at the workshop on the premises. The restaurant is at the back left of the shop, and it's spacious and lovely. The shop sold pottery from the workshop, specially chosen umeboshi, dried sweet potatoes, bread, and more.

Dishes made with plenty of vegetables are served. They look colorful and each one is superb. In particular, the grilled leek eaten with tartar sauce was delicious. The snowy scenery seen from the window was also lovely.
