On the second to last day of my trip I picked up a free copy of Hakuba Essential Guide at the visitor information centre, I wish I had gotten it sooner I would have had a little more insight on where to visit. After flicking through the guide I decided to go to Shinshu Dining Sarugaku because truthfully it was walking distance away and it looked good. Shinshu Dining Sarugaku is located beside a mexican restaurant on the side of a large new building in Echo Land.
Eating in Japan is an experience the food is always served with such care it is never just slapped on a plate. Each little smackerole of food seems to have a special piece of pottery that is made specially for it. Shinshu Dining Sarugaku serves a variety of yakatori, soba and tempura. You must try the pork rib herb leaf yakatori which is made of pork that is wrapped around like a wheel with a shiso (Perilla leaf), the shiso leaf has a distinctive aroma and taste which is difficult to describe sort of pungent minty fennel flavour. (Picture below) I also really enjoyed the vegetable tempura it had a few vegetables which I had not tried in tempura before,
Shungiku and lotus root. The Shungiku is the green leafy veg in the tempura photo, it has a slight bitter taste which is a good contrast to the batter. For the meal I sat at the bar which was great the i got to talk to the chef, he was very friendly and explained some of the interesting ingredients that were in the food.
