Japanese Dining Kyoto — Restaurant in Hakuba

A proper Japanese dinner in Echoland - husband and I were able to get seated quickly soon after opening as they don’t take reservations, which was great bc we were hungry for Sukiyaki post-snowboarding.

We got sat at the bar top and service was prompt and semi-formal - it’s a nice quiet date spot instead of other rambunctious establishments.

Ordered the sukiyaki with udon and 2 raw eggs (a must for dipping), 2 orders of salmon sashimi bc it was so good with their wasabi, a super tender and flavorful yakitori and their prawn tempura special.

Absolutely amazing dining experience! The food was incredibly delicious and the service was wonderful from incredibly courteous staff. Our group sat at the bar for dinner and it was amazing to watch the chef prepare our food so beautifully.

The owner, his dog, and his wife are all so sweet. Despite only having limited time in the area, we ate here 3 times after being disappointed with other restaurants. We walked in each time and were welcomed with open arms and delicious food. Its been months since Ive eaten here and I am still thinking about it. I will be back the next time I visit Echoland for sure! The prices were also super...
