Tonkichi - Joetsu

The most tasty food we tried in nozawa. the okinomiyaki is just as you would expect it to be amazing. I recommend you to come early to make sure they don't miss, especially if there are more than 4 people. I think the restaurant has a seating capacity of about 30 people, but it fills up quickly!

This place is small, like all good Japanese restaurants. During ski season, the only time i have visited, in the evenings it is very busy. You can either try your luck and be the first through the door when it opens, or book. We stayed at Villa Nozawa who are very helpful with bookings. There are a few Japanese style tables where you sit on the floor or seating for 4+ at the bar on stools. The Okonomiyaki is the house speciality it 's an Okonomiyaki restaurant and it 's very good. Perfect filling food for Apres Ski. The salads are also exceptional as well as the Sake. We visit every time we stay in Nozawa, often more than once. The first time, the three large screens were showing a tv show that looked like 'Japan 's got Talent ' combined with carp fishing. It all adds to the quirkyness of this wonderful establishment.

Good food, open until late, but might need reservation

Staff were friendly and service was good. The food took a while to get to us. The food was ok but nothing spectacular. The okonomiyaki was overcooked and dry from my point of view. This place does get busy during the ski season so it is highly recommended to make a booking in advance.

The dishes here are generally good. The shrimp is good, try it! They do not accept card payment too, cash only.
