Good local restaurant in the forest of Okutama. Reservation recommended.

The foods are really good.and the ambiance too

A restaurant that makes the most of natural ingredients from each season. It's deep in the mountains beyond 奥多摩, with 大丹波川 flowing alongside. I ordered 鮎のかまどご飯, available only until the end of September, and hiratake shimeji mushroom tempura. For the kamado rice, you wait until the flame goes out and the rice finishes cooking. Meanwhile, you enjoy tempura while smelling the ayu rice cooking. The mushroom tempura is delicious. The kamado rice contains a whole young ayu, additional flaked ayu, and burdock. You can eat the young ayu starting from the head. Its slight bitterness and aroma taste of nature. The ayu rice also has a gentle savoriness, with a lovely burdock aroma. Delicious. At the end, you pour bonito stock over it, ochazuke-style. Nothing more needs to be said. Nature's bounty enjoyed while listening to the stream and higurashi cicadas. This is a gastronomic experience. The people at the restaurant are kind, and the old-house-style atmosphere is lovely too. I'd like to return in another season.

＼In the mountains／ 奥多摩 is a wonderful place. It was my first visit. I saw it on ヒルナンデス, with people enjoying ayu 釜飯, which is in season now, and it looked so delicious that I suddenly really wanted to go and booked immediately. The building is an old traditional house, with 大丹波川 flowing below, and the scenery looks cool enough to make it a summer retreat. We were shown to the 2nd floor, a Japanese-style room, with a gallery of tableware and other items at the back. They're for sale too. Everything is inexpensive! ✔️鮎のかまどご飯　2550yen✖️2 (with dango soup and pickles) ✔️岩魚の刺身　990yen ✔️天ぷら　1480yen ✔️おやき　150yen✖️2 The freshly cooked 釜飯 was steaming hot, and the ayu's bones were soft, so we tucked in with its light saltiness. Enjoyed alongside a faint aroma of burdock. It was worth coming all this way—so delicious😋 The clear soup with suiton dumplings was full of ingredients too. The iwana was also a seasonal treat, and the tempura was a huge pile, about enough for 2 people. Plenty of mountain vegetables and more. Apparently there's more rice than in “鮎づくし”, a full 1.5 go, so we made 🍙 at the end. Even though we had rice left over, the お焼き we ordered was fragrant from grilling and delicious too. What a luxurious lunch, getting to enjoy so many things. Thank you for the meal.
