Roadside Station Kawaba Denen Plaza is proud of its gourmet food made with plenty of fresh local ingredients. Here are five carefully selected, delicious dishes that you should definitely try when you visit.

Kawabanchi "Kawaba's rice balls"

"Kawabanchi" is a warm-hearted onigiri specialty store whose name means "Kawaba's House" in the local dialect. Here, you can enjoy the finest onigiri, made with the luxurious "Yukihotaka" brand of Koshihikari rice, which is Kawaba Village's pride and joy.

"Yukihotaka" is known for being delicious even when cooled, and is characterized by its fluffy texture and refined sweetness. In order to bring out the best in its flavor, the rice balls are carefully made one by one after an order is placed.

We recommend the "seasonal rice balls," which use different ingredients depending on the season, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of each season.

Meat Workshop's "Yakitori"

At the meat workshop, craftsmen who have trained in Dusseldorf, Germany and obtained the qualification of "Geselle" (skilled craftsman) painstakingly handcraft ham and sausages in the rich natural surroundings.

We are extremely particular about our ingredients and manufacturing methods, using an original blend of spices imported directly from Germany and mountain cherry wood chips from Kawaba Village for smoking.

In the store, you can enjoy "sanzokuyaki" grilled on a hot iron plate. Sanzokuyaki is a dish of freshly boiled ham and sausages grilled to perfection on an iron plate and enjoyed with your favorite sauce. It is characterized by its juicy and fragrant taste, and is so delicious you will never forget it once you have tried it. Live sanzokuyaki sets are also sold in the store and at the Farmers Market, so you can enjoy sanzokuyaki at home.

Soba restaurant Kokuzo "Country-style chopped 100% buckwheat soba"

At Sobadokoro Kokuzo, they use high-quality buckwheat grown in the lush natural surroundings of Kawaba Village and carefully ground it in a stone mill to create buckwheat flour, serving fragrant, chewy, authentic hand-made soba noodles.

Among them, the limited-edition "Country-style Randomly Cut 100% Soba" is a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the original flavor and texture of soba, made by cutting coarsely ground buckwheat flour into random pieces the old-fashioned way. In addition to the flavorful 100% soba, it is a luxurious dish that allows you to enjoy freshly fried tempura such as seasonal vegetables and shrimp.

Local beer restaurant Hotaka "Hotaka Salmon Gozen"

Craft beer restaurant Hotaka is a restaurant that takes pride in its dishes that make generous use of local ingredients, such as "Wabuta Mochibuta" pork and "Hotaka Salmon" raised in the rich natural environment of Kawaba Village.

The special rainbow trout "Hotaka Salmon" raised at a fish farm in Kawaba Village is odorless and has a melting texture and elegant sweetness. It is delicious not only as fresh sashimi, but also as freshly fried and crispy.

The "Hotaka Salmon Gozen" is a luxurious menu that allows you to enjoy both sashimi and fried salmon in one go, allowing you to experience the best of both worlds.

Pizza House "Kawaba Mozzarella Cheese Margherita"

Pizza House serves authentic stone oven pizzas made with plenty of local ingredients. The popular "Kawaba Mozzarella Margherita" pizza uses fresh mozzarella from the adjacent "Kawaba Cheese".

Our proud pizza dough is topped with fresh mozzarella cheese from Kawaba Village, ripe tomatoes, and fragrant basil. This authentic Neapolitan-style pizza is simple yet highlights the quality of the ingredients.
