Local Flavors Born of Abundant Natural Surroundings Try Local Foods

Homestyle cooking created by the abundant local nature and the people who live here—such as the affordable, down-to-earth food like the very popular sauce katsudon (pork cutlets on rice), the typical folk foods of gohei mochi (rice cakes) and Shinshu soba (buckwheat noodles), along with the many excellent alcoholic beverages—elicit nostalgia among the Japanese for their rustic quality. One of the joys of traveling here is encountering and getting acquainted with Komagane's cuisine.

Sauce Katsudon

This dish, popular across Japan, consists of big pork cutlets flavored with a secret sauce and placed atop rice and crispy cabbage.

Soba

These buckwheat noodles have a hearty Komagane flavor that comes from the cool climate of the Komagane Highlands, the pure snowmelt of the Central Alps, and highly skilled noodle makers.
