The energetic local mothers serve set meals prepared with love, featuring an abundance of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and offering a warm, nostalgic flavor. In a traditional thatched-roof farmhouse over 100 years old, please relax and enjoy the bounty of the countryside and conversation with the mothers, all served on ceramic tableware.
・Ubusuna Set Meal ~ Tsumari Pork and Seasonal Vegetables ~ 2,000 yen (tax included)
This satisfying set meal features miso-marinated grilled Tsumari pork as the main dish, accompanied by small side dishes made with seasonal wild mountain vegetables and local produce. The rich depth of the miso and the savory umami of the pork shine through in this dish, complemented by side dishes with gentle seasoning that highlights the natural flavors of the ingredients.
The rice served at Ubusuna House is delicious terraced-field rice harvested from the “Keichi Rice Fields” in the Higashishimogumi settlement, where Ubusuna House is located. Refills are available. We invite you to take your time and savor the rich, wholesome flavors of the Ubusuna Set Meal while enjoying the scenic views of the satoyama countryside.
