The Branch Aokiko — Restaurant in Omachi

A Hidden Gem with Amazing Views!

I had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful café and restaurant near Aikiko Lake in Omachi, Nagano, and I can’t recommend it enough! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of local dishes that really highlight the flavors of the region. The best part, though, was the view — sitting by the window, you’re treated to a breathtaking panorama of the lake and surrounding mountains. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing meal or a peaceful coffee break. The service was also friendly and welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Whether you're a local or just passing through, definitely make time to stop here!...

I absolutely adore this new spot! The stunning lake views combined with the cozy atmosphere create a perfect escape. Their sandwiches, made with natural sourdough bread, are all unique and incredibly satisfying. The homemade pickles are the perfect complement. And let's not forget the desserts - they're simply divine! It's the perfect place to unwind with a cup of coffee. With a wide selection of craft beers, there's something for everyone :) Today, due to the rain, I enjoyed my meal indoors, but I can't wait to return on a sunny day to dine on...

Tasty food, superb lake view, and friendly staff. One of the best in the Hakuba/Omachi area. We had the tantuni roll, mackerel sandwich, Mexican rice, and French fries, all delicious. The owner, a cooking school graduate, described the meticulous preparation behind each dish....
