Masala Sangam マサラ サンガム — Restaurant in Kiso

This is a gem in Kiso Fukushima. I was here in February, before the hikers come in. The vibe of the place is so good, it instantly made me feel at home. The lovely couple came from Tokyo, bought and renovated the house and turned it into a cosy restaurant. The lady of the house speaks English very well, which made it easy to build a connection. I had a beer, and a meal that was so satisfying for me being a vegetarian, that I ordered another dish and let the lady choose what she’d bring me. She did not disappoint. Guys, please go here if you want good food, good companionship and a great atmosphere after a nice day in the Kiso Fukushima village or after a nice hike. You won’t regret...

This restaurant is a napalese restaurant run by a lovely older couple. It is tucked away on what feels like the bottom floor of their house.

My wife and I visited this places twice in our stay at kisofukashima. My wife is a celiac (gluten allergy) which has made traveling in Japan challenging. This restaurant creates everything from scratch, and is very tasty!

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, if you're looking for a tiny little local spot with amazingly flavourful food, and their service is great.

Very accommodating, particularly for a Celiac.

Entrance is tucked away off the street up a little alleyway...

A lovely place with a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. They serve a some really delicious Indian-style curries that come with side dishes containing a variety of local vegetables prepared in interesting ways.

Great vegan options, and they can use coconut oil on their naan instead of butter, so the whole meal can be 100% vegan.

Extremely recommended - I live locally and have already come 4-5 times since they opened...
