Located within one of the Gassho-zukuri houses, the Ochiudo cafe is one of the most popular spots for locals. The interior mixes decor between a kissaten (喫茶店, Traditional Japanese Cafe) and that of a Gassho-zukuri (合掌造り, Gasshō-zukuri), with the center of the cafe being a large irori (囲炉裏, Sunken hearth), a sunken hearth with a charcoal fire at the centre for boiling things in a pot or kettle.
Ochiudo Menu Recommendations
セットメニュー
Set Menu
¥1,300
The popular recommendation is to get the set menu, which comes with curry rice (カレーライス, Karē Raisu), a drink of your choice, and zenzai (善哉).
カレーライス
Curry Rice
¥800
ホットドリンク
Hot Drinks
¥500
For the hot drink, the owners will ask you to pick your favorite cup out of their entire shelf display of cups each with its own unique handle and design. It’s a really nice touch of omotenashi (お持て成し, Japanese spirit of hospitality).
いろりぜんざい
Irori Zenzai
¥700
For the zenzai (善哉), you will receive an empty bowl with a mochi (餅, Rice cake) inside. Then you will take off the lid on the large cast-iron pot in the center of the irori (囲炉裏, Sunken hearth) to reveal a large boiling hot pot of oshiruko (お汁粉, Red bean soup).
You can then scoop your own portion into your bowl, and you are free to refill it as many times as you like!
