Yamatake

Environment was nice, but chicken was too tough since it was still frozen...

I stopped by Yamake-san who had been looking for a natural potato for lunch on the way to Kurokawa Onsen.The outside of the shop looks like an old house and there is a hearth when you enter insideI asked for the shop's recommended menu TororozenHomemade milk agar is available for simmering rice, boiled, small bowl, pickles, tighteningI really felt the flavor and umami of the yamLooking at the homepage, the shop owner seems to have a strong feeling for the natural potatoes, and seems to have had a hard time growing it.Will visit again

Slow grilled food. Ok

A traditional Japanese bbq place. It was recommended by our host but it wasn't to our liking. The meats were good but the rest tasted weird. It's not for us to comment on.

If it's your first time it might be a bit daunting to understand how to cook some of the food. I suggest you do some research. It's not just simple yakiniku you cook at your local Japanese restaurant. That said we went in blind and managed quite fine. The workers will try to help you out plus they have some 'engrish" written instructions. As a final resort have a look at the other tables. They use a special ingredient that is quite gooey and sticky, not really quite to western tastes. But you do not have to eat it. I especially suggest not taking their suggestion to pour it all over your rice.

YAMATAKE. Great food and great experience!

Very traditional Japanese countryside style cuisine, and delicious! Good value compare to restaurant in big city, but make sure to grill the chicken skin till crispy,very nice!

I can't even describe how unique this place is. I randomly decided to come here to explore the options beyond kurokawa ... You're going for a real treat and one of the highlights of your trip

Beef is delicious, but fish and vegetables are fiar

Had a simple lunch there of udon and soba as well as Yam okonomiyaki. Both noodles dishes are done well and the Yam okonomiyaki was delicious.

Great Japanese food, aggordable price and good service in a very traditional way.

Okunida Rakuzen was delicious. Pickles, boiled foods, and wild potatoes ... we can replace rice freely. However, I was worried that the timing we asked was just right. We waited for just one set and immediately sat down, but then 5 sets in a row As it is, the cooking menu is mainly hearth grilled, so it takes time to eat it. Still, people waiting in the car or storefront.

Genuine country food cooked on hot charcoal right before you eyes. Also wonderful Dago jiru dumpling stew and delicious rice balls. No frills necessary. This would be Sen no Rikyu's post tea dinner. :)

Japanese traditional BBQ. Great atmosphere with nutritious foods for mind. We love it so much that went there 2 days in a raw.
