I wonder which mushrooms they use.
The taste of the handmade miso is very good.

Please also try the "shiso wrapped apricots", a local product that you can buy only here.
I like apricots very much.

峠の茶屋6

The mushroom soup was very delicious.
I also remember how cheerful the staff were.
When I asked, "Is this miso handmade? It is very tasty," one staff member kept saying "Thank you, thank you" while cleaning. I will never forget this scene.


(Kaori's Highlights)

The area around Touge no Chaya is high in the mountains and the air is clear, so it is famous for stargazing.
On clear nights, many cars come to the parking lot to see the sky full of stars.
Spending time under this starry sky feels very romantic.
