Okina-do — Restaurant in Matsumoto

It’s been about three weeks since we visited this restaurant, but the memory has stayed with us so strongly that I felt compelled to finally write this review.

The food was absolutely delicious—the beef was so tender it melted in our mouths and hit the spot perfectly after a long day of hiking. Truly some of the best comfort food we had on our trip.

But what has really stuck with us is not just the food, but the kindness. When we were leaving, it had started absolutely pouring with rain, and we didn’t have an umbrella.

But I think this restaurant might be very enjoyable to Asians, especially for the drink selection.
