Exclusively on weekends and holidays, the “Cheese Fondue”—a winter-only treat—will be added to the “Satoyama Buffet,” a popular menu item at the Echigo Matsudai Satoyama Shokudo. Enjoy dipping winter vegetables, which boast a sweetness unique to snowy regions, and freshly baked bread into the warm, melt-in-your-mouth cheese.Enjoy the special flavor created by the rich aroma of cheese combined with seasonal Satoyama ingredients, all while taking in the serene snowy scenery. It’s perfect for a winter family outing or as a lunch break during your Satoyama Art tour. Be sure to savor this limited-time seasonal menu.
*On weekdays (excluding Tuesdays and Wednesdays), we serve “Satoyama Rice” and “Satoyama Curry.”
