At the Echigo-Matsudai Satoyama Shokudo, we invite you to enjoy fresh vegetables, "sansai" (wild mountain plants), and locally-cultivated rice while overlooking terraced rice field landscapes. The restaurant serves a unique menu inspired by local traditional recipes passed down over generations - but with a modern twist.

Original burgers supervised by Chef Fumio Yonezawa are sold. The menu changes with the seasons, and the burgers, which include Tsumari pork, Kagura Nanban, walnuts, and other unique Tsumari flavors, are always popular and sold out many days. The chef's special hamburgers, made with his extensive knowledge of local ingredients, are a special menu item that cannot be found anywhere else.
