This tiny bar was right across the street from our hotel - my husband loves whiskey and they had a great selection. We stood up drinking shots as a nightcap - well worth a visit for one or two drinks.

We stumbled upon Hop Frog Cafe by accident as the veggie restaurant we had planned to go to was closed. It looked nice from outside and there seemed to be a few vegetarian options.The place is run by a lovely couple who spent a good few years in the States, so they are really easy to communicate with in English (not a thing one can take for granted in Japan) and they're open to the idea that some people don't want a fish sauce in their food.The 'tofu steak' was delicious, a sort of an American-Japanese fusion. Really recommended. It's about 5-10 minutes walk from Matsumoto station, so if you happened to be in Matsumoto it's really worth paying a visit to this lovely family business.

お手頃価格(500-600円)で、長野の郷土料理を楽しめました。馬刺し、松本山賊焼き、揚げこねつけなどがおいしかった。締めのおそばもよかったです。

Ever since the 1950's people have been writing songs about "What's happening behind the Green Door", well I ventured across the foothold of a Green Door tonight and found heaven on earth (for anyone who loves a tipple or 6 of Whisky) There is an impressive selection of Whisky from Scotland with the usual suspects covered such as Talisker, Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich, Cragenmore, Bowmore, Macallan, Admore, Ben Riach, Old Putney, Highland Park and a bottle of the 74 Ardberg hidden away. There is also a collection of the only Whisky's not produced in Scotland to win the award for best of the year as judged in Scotland on blind tastings. The only thing more impressive than the collection is the knowledge of the owner and his willingness to share that knowledge and understanding of what is a Whisky and the best ways to enjoy them. If you find yourself in Matsumoto and are seeking a post dinner tipple of the finest type, then this is the only place (within about 3000km) that you should visit

We tucked into this British style pub on a blazing, hot day in August. The gin buck that we ordered was just the thing to keep us going in the intense heat. The wait staff was friendly and very attentive.

This restaurant is main draining of Kamikochi Imperial hotel.Once you will step into this restaurant, you will be surprised that some ladies wear evening dress and some gentlemen wearing suits. Hotel staff are wearing black suits or director coats.The atmosphere is like dining room in city hotel.Can you believe this hotel is located in very deep mountain?Food quality would surprise you, because chef come from Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.From appetizer to dessert, all dishes make you happy.If they serve nice cheese and espresso, that is perfect!But you have to remember that you are in heart of national park, not in Tokyo!If you welcome celebration, birthday, anniversary, etc., you should inform that in advance.Hotel staff will give special service!

Exellent food, the duck just melted in my mouth and cold soba dipped in the broth was delicious. And we got small deserts for free! Price was surprisingly modest, the most expensive item on the menu was only 1500yen. Don't miss this if you are travelling in Matsumoto!
