Suyakame Main Store : 門前みそ すや亀 本店

Original Miso-Based Menu at Zenkoji's Original Miso Maker.

Northern Nagano


Description

Suyakame is easy to spot with its white plaster walls and large blue 'noren' curtain at the entrance emblazened with "門前みそ" Monzen (indicating its location close to the entrance to Zenkoji Temple) Miso. The interior imbues an atmosphere of an old-time merchants house, and various miso-based goods are on display and available for sampling. Free tea is served, too. At the restaurant, the main draw is the "Grilled Rice Ball Basket". That symphony of miso and soy sauce lightly covering the grilled rice balls is reminiscent of the way Grandmas (in Japan) used to make them. Lunch guests are treated to not one but three types of miso soup (varies daily) to choose from, and guests are welcome to free refills so all 3 can be tried. Tsukemono pickles are also all-you-can-eat.
