Koshikake Mountain Cottage (cuisine)

This 120-year-old building was relocated to the edge of the river, and now serves as a restaurant. Diners can enjoy gohei-mochi and seasonal dishes—sansai vegetables in the spring, sweetfish in the summer, mountain yam in the autumn, and boar hot pot in the winter. If you’re not a big fan of river fish and wild game, the restaurant also serves fresh fish straight from the market and the Oku-Mikawa region’s very own Horai beef. Have a casual teishoku set meal, or savor a full-course kaiseki meal in a tatami room. Koshikake Sanso isn’t just a restaurant—it also offers trout fishing, barbecue, and overnight lodging.
