Oshokujidokoro Iori
(Semboku City, Akita)
A dining establishment where you can enjoy local cuisine from the historic "Nyuto Onsen Village."
Located within the Tsurunoyu Annex "Yama-no-Yado" in the historic Nyuto Onsen Village, Oshokujidokoro Iori offers a unique dining experience where guests can enjoy local cuisine around a traditional irori hearth. Nyuto Onsen Village, situated at the foot of Mount Nyuto on the border between Akita and Iwate prefectures, has a history spanning over 350 years. Its traditional thatched-roof buildings make it a popular destination for those seeking Japan's nostalgic landscapes.
The menu features local favorites such as salt-grilled iwana (char) and "Yama no Imo Nabe," a regional dish from the Tazawako area. Yama no Imo Nabe is a hearty miso-based hotpot filled with dumplings made from the sticky "mountain yam" and a variety of vegetables.
Additionally, the restaurant offers a selection of local beverages, including "Secret Hot Spring Beer" brewed with beech yeast from the Shirakami-Sanchi, one of the world's largest beech forests, Tsurunoyu's pure rice sake "Hideyoshi," and Akita's rice shochu.
