KAZE DINING
A much needed addition to the Wadano dining scene is Dining Kaze Restaurant located opposite the new Spicy rental store. Kaze meaning wind in Japanese will offer Shokado meals that are served in an ornate bento style box. The cuisine is carefully prepared and beautifully presented, but you do need to order one day in advance for Shokado. Dining Kaze Page 83
RESERVATIONS With more and more places to suit every budget and atmosphere, the Hakuba Valley has everything from French to Thai and American to Korean and of course Japanese! The most popular restaurants do get very busy so it’s best to book in advance. Not all of Hakuba’s restaurants have English speakers on the other side of the phone so it is best to get your Japanese speaking accommodation staff to book for you.
KYOTO The new Kyoto restaurant in Echoland is serving an unusual Japanese delicacy, Yuba. As soya milk boils a film forms on the surface; this is Yuba. Yuba has been served in Japan for some 1200 years originally like many things brought over from China. Yuba is popular in the Kyoto area of Japan as a tea ceremony dish. Kyoto Restaurant Page 59
Local restaurants rely on seasonal business and last-minute cancellations are very damaging to their businesses. Due to this, most restaurants have strict cancellation policies. . Hakuba Dining kindly ask for your cooperation in noting the cancellation policy of each restaurant when making reservation requests.
JAPANESE ENCHANTE A popular eatery for many, Enchante Restaurant in Misorano will be offering a Japanese set menu with their popular dinner menu. This is good news for those that enjoy French dishes but when in Rome want to eat like the Romans….I think you get the meaning. The restaurant is so busy it is already fully booked on Saturday evenings! Page 55
