Being a Nagano resident, I knew about Yurui no Yado Esan. This was my first time, so I decided to try the kaiseki cuisine instead of the irori cuisine to see what it tasted like. The result was disappointing. As the reviews said, the dishes were small and cheap like those in a business hotel, looked ugly, the taste was sweet, the dashi was ineffective, the stew was not flavorful, and the fish was small and cold, so it was close to the worst as the reviews said. The reviews for the irori cuisine seem to be very good, but with irori cuisine, it is the customers who grill the ingredients, so I don't know how good the chef is. It was a private room, but it was noisy and hectic and I couldn't relax. As a Nagano resident, I'm disappointed. By the way, the inn at the same Hirugami Onsen on the second day was very wonderful. The price was cheap. If you believe famous restaurants and reviews, you will fail.
