Message from Tony Xia

Except to line up unless you come very early. If you love tempura, it is worth the wait but be prepared for large portions. It is a lot of fried food so definitely go on an empty stomach.

About:

Kawakami-an in Karuizawa is not your typical soba joint. This trendy eatery serves up Shinshu soba, a specialty of Nagano Prefecture, made with a unique blend of wheat and buckwheat flour. The modern ambiance, complete with art and jazz music, adds to the dining experience. Don't miss their popular dishes like Ten Seiro and Tempura Oyster Soba, along with tasty side orders like Roasted Wild Duck and Agedashi Tofu.
