Hello, this is Waraji, a Koshu local cuisine restaurant. 😄 September is drawing near mid-month, but the late summer heat remains strong and the sun is intense. ☀️
Even so, Shosenkyo Gorge is wrapped in clear air, making it a season to enjoy nature’s beauty. Near our shop, the Crystal Fountain sprays glittering mist and offers a cool, refreshing sight. It’s the perfect soothing spot for this time when summer’s traces still linger. 💧✨
At Waraji, our craftsmen carefully prepare each eel by cleaning, steaming, and grilling it until it turns fragrant, and we serve it as a traditional unaju box. The aroma of our secret sauce whets the appetite, and once you taste it, you’ll want it again—our proud specialty.
By the entrance, the seasonal hibiscus (mukuge) blooms beautifully, making it a lovely walk after your meal. With nature, flowers, and delicious food, we hope to refresh both your body and spirit. 🌸
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.
