2026 Limited to this summer! "Azumino Summer Vegetable Curry" An original curry made with fresh and delicious summer vegetables from Azumino! Available at 13 local restaurants. Serving period: Until Monday, August 31, 2026 *Please note that this may change depending on each restaurant's situation. Today, we introduce "Village Azumino" which offers "Chicken Tomato & Black Keema Curry," allowing you to enjoy two types of curry at once. The Chicken Tomato Curry is visually appealing with large chunks of meat, which crumble beautifully and are well-cooked. The impactful black Keema Curry is made with bamboo charcoal powder, offering a rich flavor that makes you want to eat it again and again. Above all, the sausage unique to this curry was exquisite! The homemade sausage primarily uses Shinshu pork, but surprisingly includes Shinshu salmon, making it light yet allowing you to truly taste the Shinshu salmon. We also enjoyed the "Jumbo Fried Shrimp Omelet Rice." The large fried shrimp that overflows from the bento box is satisfying! It's perfect for those who want to eat their fill. It comes with miso soup made with homemade miso and a salad. Not just for lunch, the rice served at Village Azumino comes from the Chūgyū District, and many vegetables used are also from the Chūgyū District. Reservations are required for lunch, so please make sure to book ahead before heading out. Village Azumino is conveniently located near the Azumino Interchange, offering various enjoyable experiences. You can also enjoy day-use bathing, making it a great stop before heading home from your trip. Additionally, there's the Azumino Glass Studio, where you can observe and experience glass-making, and the Yukio Tabuchi Memorial Museum, home to Japan's leading insect ecology researcher and nature photographer. With a large parking lot and share cycle ports available, it serves as a great starting point for your travels. ----------------- Store Information ----------------- Village Azumino 【Address】 6780 Toyoshina Minamihotaka, Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture 399-8201 【Phone】 0263-72-8568 【Business Hours】 Reservations only (Weekdays 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM) 【Closed】 Second Tuesday of every month (Open in August) Please check with the restaurant for the latest information.
