Kyukamura Myoko

We stayed two nights in late December and early January to visit the nearby ski resorts. When I stayed in December, I ordered a kaiseki meal for dinner on the first night, and a buffet for dinner on the second night. I was satisfied with the kaiseki cuisine, but the buffet on the second day was not good. It's a buffet that uses all commercial packed ingredients, and there's nothing warm. Chilled fried shrimp, croquettes, Happosai, meatballs, etc. are not served for dinner at the inn. I think the only things they make at the inn are rice and miso soup. Tea is also a system that puts pack tea in the hot water that comes out of the coffee server, but this is also lukewarm, and it looks like you are drinking plain hot water. Desserts are made on the lobby floor, so you can take them there and eat them at the lobby table or chairs. This dessert is also a commercial-use bracken-starch dumpling or a dice-shaped cake. When I visited again in early January, I was suddenly told that there was only a buffet when I went to eat on the day of the kaiseki meal that was different from the one I had reserved in December. It was a buffet. Even when I returned last time, the front desk insisted that it would be a kaiseki meal on the first day. I'm disappointed that I'll be able to eat this cold commercial food tonight and tomorrow night, and I can't even enjoy alcohol. There were no restaurants nearby, and it was absurd to drive endlessly through snowy roads to eat, so I had a dark feeling. Of course, breakfast is similar to commercial ingredients, and the only hot item is miso soup. The inn probably doesn't have a cook. Cooking at an inn is one of the great pleasures of traveling, but this is the first time I've had a meal like this. The "Kakiage soba" at the expressway SA that I stopped by on the way home was the best feast of this trip and it was delicious. I thought that even if the trash can in the bathroom was full, it wouldn't even look around.
