Hikari-ya Higashi : ヒカリヤヒガシ
Fine Japanese Dining in a Stylishly Remodeled 130-Year-Old Storehouse.
Matsumoto/Northern Alps
Description
Originally the main residence of a wealthy Matsumoto merchant, the 130-year-old earthen-walled structure has been remodeled into a stylish restaurant featuring the original short entrance guests have to duck through, and the interior with an 'irori' hearth and the 'kamado' oven for steaming rice. Fine Japanese cuisine with a focus on locally-sourced ingredients is served by traditionally-garbed staff in in subdued lighting at night, creating a relaxed, timeless ambience.
