Folk arts inside the restaurant
The restaurant lists Kokiriko, Mugiya kasa-odori and Osayo-bushi among its examples. Discuss the programme when booking: a restaurant visit offers a way to see these arts beyond a village festival date.
Kokiriko is associated with the sasara, an instrument made of linked wooden pieces manipulated by the dancer. Mugiya’s hat dance draws attention to the handling of a hat. Local tradition connects Mugiya with Heike refugees remembering their former capital. This is background to the repertoire, not a promise of a particular cast or complete programme.

Iwana, tofu and a meal in an old house
The menu features iwana char, Gokayama tofu, mountain vegetables and soba. Tofu appears served simply, as agedashi and grilled with miso on a magnolia leaf. Choose a tofu-focused set or fish dishes; seasonal availability affects the selection. Menu
For orientation, the published à-la-carte prices include zaru soba at ¥980, salt-grilled iwana at ¥900 and tofu-sashi at ¥400, including tax. These are individual dishes, not meal-and-performance packages. Arrange the meal accompanying a performance separately.
The house includes an irori hearth; a regional tourism article also describes calligraphy, pictures and family photographs inside. After walking through Suganuma, a meal offers time within one of the houses, beyond looking at its roof from the lane. Restaurant introduction · Regional feature
