It is said that you'll never forget the taste of "Shinshu cattle bred from apples." The cattle are mainly fed apples. You can eat genuine Oku-shinano's Kuroge Wagyu (black haired Japanese beef) prepared as sukiyaki or as plain steak. Its lunch menu is reasonable and popular.

4. Tsuruya

34 Higashigo-cho, Nagano-shi TEL:026-232-5555
This shop was established in 1779 and sells the famous Sake-manju (a bean-jam bun). This delicious bun is a very famous gift of Zenkoji. You won't be able to miss the old three-floored white-walled warehouse with a big oven at its entrance. Since these buns are not mass produced, you will need to make reservations for buying them on Saturdays and Sundays.

1022 Okada-cho, Nagano-shi TEL:026-226-3200
This is a noodle shop which prepares noodles after you order. Therefore, this shop is recommendable only when you have a lot of spare time. The country-style noodle is very tasty.


The Tell Me Secretly Column

There is a restaurant that I really don't want to tell anybody. Therefore I won't disclose its name nor its location. All I can say is that it is a small shop with only 21 seats and only 21 meals are served at lunchtime. Four kinds of lunch menus are served with fritters being the main item. In the evening it turns into a Japanese tavern where you can taste different brands of local sake and eat fresh fish. The personality of the stubborn owner is another attraction. Also, his wife sociable wife is another charm point. This shop is located about 5 minutes from IBM and there is a public bathhouse nearby. Is that any hint?
