Sawamura Bakery & Restaurant Harunire Terrace — Restaurant in Karuizawa

Some people here said that they have the best burger ever? Well, they're definitely over exaggerating. Look, the burger is not bad. The meat is at most a 4/5. The bread as well, 4/5. They grilled the buns, which is great. Too much lettuce and not a lot of sauce (which wasn't that great either) They need to season the meat more and make the sauce thicker. I love burgers and also make them myself. Overall I give the burger a weak 7/10. Just barely scratched the 7 on my scale. Again, not bad, but not great either. Just good.

And the actual reason I gave this place a 4 stars rating is because they did not offer us water nor Oshiboris. It is common sense in Japan, and thus I do not understand why?

Anyway, a good place overall to have lunch.

Oh, it is quite pricey as well.

My gf had the pasta set for 1800yen. You get a salad and bread (free to get more) included. The burger was around 1800yen as well. (Also really, please stop putting that much lettuce inside the burger. This is...

Absolutely great place to eat out, with fabulous food and great service! We were seated on the second level, which is essentially a gallery with view onto the seating area below, and it felt quite cosy and not as noisy as in the main area. I absolutely loved their flexibility with the menu: When inquiring about the pork loin, I was told that it comes on a bed of cabbage, which I don't like. So I asked whether they would be able to serve it with mashed potatoes instead (which in my view is a winning combination). The waitress had to go back to the kitchen to check, and based on past experience in many other places in Japan, I didn't get my hopes up, but I was absolutely delighted when she came back and confirmed that it was no problem to serve the meat with mash! My dish was amazing, and so was my wife's sauteed salmon. The bread that was served with the meal was heavenly. So much so that we went back the next day to buy some bread to take...

After taking a long walk from the station to the haruinre terrace, i need a very good breakfast. There were several option there, but i chose sawaura bakery because it's look tempting from the outside. The serve western style dishes n bakery.
