■ Charcoal grill in the hearth ■ Hearth…. It often appears in old stories. The hearth is in the hotel. Under the thatched roof. In the hearth, goheimochi rice cakes on skewers and river fish are slowly grilled over charcoal. Talk slowly with your family and friends until it burns. That talk makes charcoal grilling delicious. While talking, the fat drops from the river fish. However, don't be impatient. The charcoal-grilled delicious river fish waits carefully. Sometimes it's good to drink while watching it. The hotel has both cold sake and hot sake. There are also potatoes, wheat, and rice for shochu. Our homemade plum wine is also available. The conversation will be even more exciting. There are plenty of soft drinks, so even those who can't drink are okay! We have 100% juice from Nagano prefecture, our homemade plum juice, and our homemade medicinal tea.
