We always stop here when passing through Niseko. Lots of different options to choose from and lots of space for kids to run around.

The dairy farm is pretty fun to visit. One building is for buying ice cream and cream puffs. The other building is for buying chocolate, milk cake, and cookies. There is also a gift shop with various beautiful dishes, vases, candles, and cutlery. The prices are very reasonable for the beauty of the items. One catch though, no ski or snowboard boots inside. There is also a restaurant but we didn’t visit because we’d just finished eating at White Birch. The ice cream is really delicious!! I had tiramisu and rum raisin. We also got the cream puffs to go. If you’re visiting the area please drop by for a quick bite.

Worth the Stop if you're in Niseko! Everything is Oishisooo 😋. Cream Puffs, Cheese Tarts & Handmade Ice-cream, cookies Honey Castilla Cake ♥️ 🐮

Products from a local dairy farm. Cheese tarts are delicious and thick. Choux in the cream puffs are light and not very sweet. Yogurt is good as well. We were disappointed by the ice cream which was not very creamy. You pay for ice cream at a coin machine first before ordering. The other goodies can be paid at the cashier around the corner. There is a stools area by ice cream section and a handful of tables around the back. There you can see the food preparation area which is immaculate.

The cream puffs and pudding are delicious. However, the staff really shows their dislike of foreigners. The lady that served us treated Japanese speaking with good service and smiles. When it came to our turn, she didn’t ask us or served us even we were standing in front of her waiting. Didn’t look at us. We thanked her when she gave us the receipt and she didn’t respond. If you don’t mind bad service then do stop at this place.

I stopped by on the bus before traveling to Sapporo. You can buy dairy products. There are not many places where you can buy "Niseko" products, so if you want to buy local souvenirs, this is the place to go. The creamy cream puffs were soft and delicious. The Italian restaurant at the same bus stop was not so crowded because it was a weekday.

Came here for the cheese tart and coffee during the season of 2019/2020. It is very popular with tourists then. Seats are rather limited in the cafe area and there can be a queue forming around the seats which can be quite stressful. While the cheese tart wasn't as good as Kinotoya's in terms of texture and flavour, they do have pretty decent cheese on offer. I got the Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm Kaributo Comte (ニセコ高橋牧場 狩太) and my friends and I enjoyed it back in Singapore. Japanese artisanal cheeses are also hard to come by in Singapore, thus making them good gifts or dinner party items as long as they are kept chilled or lower than room temperature.

We took bus to Takahashi Dairy farm. They sell delicious freshly bake cheeses tarts, yogurt drink, ice cream and many more. A place worth visit.

A great stop over place with great snacks. Cream puff, Eggy cream tart and soft cheese cake recommended

Best cream puff! Better than the one in Otaru. Nice ceramics and organic veg stores around

Highly recommend coming here if you like dairy! It’s right next to a bus stop, so it is pretty convenient to get here once you figure out the bus schedule. Some of our highlights: - my favorite is the milk flavored soft serve ice cream, it has a slight sweet milk taste that I’ve never had back in the states - the pudding was also really tasty, tasted a little like a Crème brûlée - Variety of snacks you can bring back as gifts for friends & family

Super tasty treats! We enjoyed the cream puff and cheese tart. Both were fantastic and very reasonably priced. Beautiful view of Mt Yotei. Some views into the kitchen allow an intimate perspective on the production process. Service staff were not observed speaking English, but we were able to order without much issue anyway.

Ordered the cream puff, eclair, cheese tart and custard pudding. Only the cheese tart was pretty good. The choux pastry in the cream puff and eclair was surprisingly bad. Too thick and hard. You can easily find better ones in Hokkaido, even in convenience stores. The cream was surprisingly lackluster as well, not much flavour and the texture was way too watery. Seems a bit like a tourist trap. Would recommend skipping it.

First time going there and tried some tarts I believe and they tasted very fresh and delicious.

Theo ice cream was surprisingly just OK in my opinion BUT, if you like cheese tart you have to try their cheese tarts! The filling is super creamy and cheesy! Absolutely delicious. They have a really nice space to hang out and relax in the grass as well. With a nice view of Mount Yotei! Oh also, they have a nice selection of pretty good hard cheeses

Very nice place to get some diary products. Great place to have an ice cream while sitting next to the window looking at the mountain

My new must come to place in Niseko. Niseko bus stops here on the way to and from Hilton Niseko. Best cheese tarts ever piping hot freshly made, gelato was delicious and yoghurt drink too.

Was late in the season when I went but thoroughly enjoyed this side of the mountain. There is a fantastic gully to ski through skier's right when leaving the gondola— just go through the gate and trees. I dropped over from Hirefu but had to climb up a bit from Annupuri and ski through trees to get back. It was either that or an expensive taxi ride

Really nice open runs with very wide run-off areas. Great for snowboarding and practicing skills. Some nice gentle runs with interesting unkept areas if you want to push yourself a little more. The 1,000m point provides some lovely views over the region. Nighttime boarding is limited to the lower runs but still lots to explore.

Family friendly ski slope, but the facility is dated. There’s a lingering stale smoke smell upon entering the building. The mess hall on the second floor provides sufficient food options. It refuels skiers quickly so they can get back out on the slopes.

Annupuri is a great place for beginners to learn skiing or snowboarding. The area is wide which provide alot of room for maneuvering! You can see plenty of kids learning to ski.

One of the many ski area's in Niseko, it's been said that Annupuri Kokusai Ski Area has the slopes that's best for beginners. Indeed we were beginners and the hills were not too much a challenge. There are rental shops located on the side of the opening slope and a food court as well; although the opening hours if the food court were a little unclear. There is a large parking lot so there is almost no trouble with finding a parking spot. Ski lift ticket prices were reasonable. Once done skiing, there are a few restaurants nearby that you may visit, but do note that they'll be a bit more expensive that the restaurants you may find it the neighboring town of Kutchan.

Older, Gondola build 1985 ... but good beginner area. Bear Caffè about half way down from Gondola drop off has most amazing chocolate brownie!!! enjoy

Truly lovely ski slopes and a very large array of courses to choose from. An amazing place to start one's ski journey! The view from the top of the gondola shows all of Niseko as well on a clear day as well as mount yotei!

Came to Annupuri as part of the Niseko United all mountain pass in late March 2023 (Spring Season). Snow was still fantastic, not much powder, mostly slush but very rideable. Most people are boarding on Annupuri because of the wide open runs, and I would say its a great place for all skill levels. For off piste maybe the other resorts are better but I loved this one as a beginner snowboarder

Great resort for beginners or intermediate skier or boarders that not steep which can be a problem on a powder day not being able to get enough speed. For the advanced there are off piest gates opened and monitored by ski patrol with tree runs which are amazing. Family friendly dinning options with 1400 yen ramen which is the best out of all the the Niseko resorts. Can get hourly passes which is good value.

Not as crowded as Hirafu. Queues at the gondola but they have a singles line. This is a great innovation, which the other resorts should adopt. Hooded quad lift is never crowded. Dream quad moves very slowly. Good resort for beginners and intermediates. I never venture through the gates, so I can't comment on advanced skiing routes. My favourite eating option so far is the miso ramen at nook annupuri.

Great ski experiences! This place is suitable for those who are beginners at snowboarding and skiing. Because it has a large area, fewer people, and moderate slopes, it's much easier to compare with other ski areas with steep slope

My favourite out of the four. Good powdery backcountry and fun wide groomers

Good spot for beginner slopes. Niseko has great snow. Annapuri also has an alpine cafe on top of the longer green slope. Well worth it.

The bottom lift are suitable for the beginner but there are so many people from the ski school and snowboard school. Please don't order the curry.. its so salty and only 4 piece of meat as you can see..

Had their omakase ¥11000, quality of food are just average. Sake flask 180ml for junmai ¥1100 and above which I personally find it a little pricey.

We had an amazing dinner with the freshest sashimi and sushi. We had the counter seat and it was mesmerising watching the chef at work. Each bite was delicious and it was well worth the drive out. The owners were very lovely and tried their best to engage in conversation with us even if english wasn’t their native tongue. We will definitely return again if we return to Niseko.

Feel cheated, we book a set online at lunch which include uni in it. We turn up at restaurant and it turn out uni is replaced with salmon. The explanation is in Japanese menu (which is not available online) that the content can be changed depend on the day. They also said if we really want uni, we can order it separately with extra charge.... So yeah... The food is delicious though.

33000 per head omakase dinner, providing sashimi with fish bone, cheap fish, poor dish presentation. There are total 11 of us attending this dinner with our private room. The chef didn’t serve us at all, the food are providing in a big dish. There are no good food at all, the only little uni sushi is not sweet, and there are so many dishes with salmon. Looks like a 3300 set rather than a 33000 yen omakase. I do not recommend this restaurant at all unless you hate the person so much you can ask him or her to go here. Very disgusting food experience in here.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Great experience sitting at the sushi bar speaking to ryoshei. Worth every penny.

Come if you want average quality and pricey sushi - we had much better in Tokyo. In hindsight, we shouldn't have travelled out of our way to get to this restaurant from Hirafu (requires taxi booking which is not the easiest to book and amend). However, the head chef and staff were super nice. The Angler fish was unique but the rest was avg.

Everything is good, Taishō and staff’s personality are so kind. The portion of the lunch set was just nice even I didn’t order extra. It was one of the memorable lunch I’ve ever had, and definitely will go again!!! The eel sushi was so delicious!!

Worth splurging on the omakase menu. We went for the 15000 yen option and seriously it was the best Japanese dinner I've had in my entire life. Top quality, freshest ingredients, prepared and/or cooked to perfection. Incredible service, English speaking staff and menu available. Make reservations in advance to avoid disappointment. I wanna go back!

What a great place, the food was exceptional, the best tuna belly I've ever had not to mention the first and hopefully not the last time I have angler fish liver, so good. Drinks recommendations were fantastic and reasonably priced and the chefs and wait staf were amazing, execute their roles with precision while being engaging and genuinely interested to know more about their customers. When we return to Niseko we will be back!!! どうもありがとうございます。

My family of 5 had a lunch winter special omakase- the chef is highly skilled and very kind, he provided above and beyond service. Unforgettable experience in Japan. Highly recommend 10/10!!

何しろおしゃれ。 ニセコ駅から少し離れた丘(？)の上にあるお店。 少し登ったところにあり、しかも店内は二階なので駅前を見下ろせるポジション。 夜景がgood！ 歩きなら駅側から階段で行けるが車だと裏道からのアクセスなので入り口が見つけにくい。 駐車場は数台分あります。 代行を依頼する場合は早めの予約をオススメします。 1階はわりと無骨な製造設備が見える。 (実際に作っているかは不明) 2階はうってかわっておしゃれ。 ビールは友人とシェアして4種類頂きましたがどれもおいしゅうございました。 僕はペールエールが好きでした。 グラスサイズも3種類あります。 まぁ観光地だしクラフトビールなので高めの値段は妥当と思う。 ビアソーセージは最高 (ちょっと出てくるまでに時間かかる) レトロなジュークボックス(レコード)があり滅茶苦茶おしゃれ。 せっかくなので是非お試しください。 (Translated by Google) Fashionable. A shop on a hill (?) A little away from Niseko Station. It is located on a slight climb, and since the store is on the second floor, it is a position where you can look down on the front of the station. Night view is good! If you walk, you can go by stairs from the station side, but if you go by car, it's hard to find the entrance because it's accessed from the back road. There are several parking lots. If you would like to request a proxy, we recommend that you make an early reservation. On the 1st floor, you can see a relatively crude manufacturing facility. (I don't know if it actually works) The second floor is very stylish. I shared 4 types of beer with my friends, and they were all delicious. I loved pale ale. There are 3 types of glass sizes. Well, it's a tourist spot and it's craft beer, so I think the higher price is reasonable. beer sausage is the best (Takes a while to come out) There is a retro jukebox (record) and it is very fashionable. Please try it.

Porter is a must try. Great beer, great food, great music, great view of hirafu and great decor. Don't let the exterior of the building pushes you away.

車の運転手でしたので、飲めませんでしたが、ほぼ出来立てを購入し、持ち帰ることができました。 クレジットカードはVISA、MASTER、DINERSが利用可能です。 (Translated by Google) I was a car driver, so I couldn't drink it, but I was able to buy mostly freshly made drinks and take them home. VISA, MASTER, and DINERS are accepted credit cards.

Cozy place, good food, good beer :) nice evening all around.

Very good home made beer and atmosphere!

Great range of beers and good food. Cozy, retro style environment to watch the snow fall!

I confess that I am a regular at this place but for good reason. They serve a really delicious selection of beer from lager, pale ale, Belgian ale up to Porter. They also have a great but seasonal oyster stout made from local oysters. The food is Japanese izakaya style and really tasty. They do plenty of the staples and then mix it up with a few different things which is really fun. All the staff are Japanese and you often see locals there as well which is an excellent gauge of its quality. They do offer transport too which is a nice add on.

We went in to pick up a few beers to take home. The staff allowed us for a few tasters and the beer is very good, as the reviews say. They give you the option to buy bottles of beer or to fill mason jars with their logos (~800ml each). We opted for 2 mason jars and had them filled. The bill for 2 beers was ¥5000! The price is ridiculous. That price would equal about 2 full growlers (3 liters) plus the growlers in Canada. We bought bottles of Japanese craft beer in a store for ¥300 each...I can't see how they can justify ¥5000 for about 4 pints of beer.

Message at the door: To those who come to Niseko Beer Factory / Restaurant We are sorry, but the restaurant has been closed for a while to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection. Bottled beer can be purchased at the Niseko Road Station "Niseko View Plaza" Seven-Eleven Niseko store. CLOSED

Sublime lunch in the mountains. Great space - downstairs is the owners personal art collection and gallery space and on ground floor is the main restaurant area. Food was fantastic, service spot on and all amazing value. Highly recommended for lunch. All topped off with amazing view across the mountains

The basement is a gallery , ground floor is a restaurant and a tea house on second floor . Dishes are impressive and service is nice . The snow view is awesome :)!

Come see a large, unique golden bear, wood carvings and other beautiful artwork. Enjoy a tea ceremony up in the loft. Peruse the amazing views inside or outside whilst sipping a fresh made coffee. There's some beautiful pieces for purchase or bring the entire crew for your private event. I arrived in winter... although snow covered the babbling Brook below could still be heard. An absolute haven!

Amazing experience. Very unique.

A great, wonderful gallery-cafe experience. Located in a restored farmhouse, they serve good cakes and green tea. Skip the coffee. A bit difficult to go to, though. Otherwise, a great place to nature-watch.

Somoza is always stunning! Absolutely amazing setting, beautiful food and great service. Highly recommend

A beautiful hidden place for special occasion dinner. Good for a large group for private dinner as well.

Made a booking online after recommendation from a friend. Wasn't sure if to book for 3 pax dining or 4 pax as I was bringing along my 4 mth old baby. Appreciate the email communications (in English) to clarify. They even checked if my other child (<12 yrs old) prefers grilled/cooked vs raw food. It's run by a lovely couple and their son, Tatsuru Rai & Midori were SUPER friendly :) Precovid, it was one of the hardest reservations to score for Niseko. Thankfully as Japan just reopened and we had come before the ski season, we managed to get a reservation and were the only guests for the night. Every dish was scrumptious, oishi!! 👍🏼8 course meal with melon ice cream for dessert 😋😋 Watching soba master make fresh soba from scratch was a special experience. He made it look so easy, surreal. Definitely practiced to perfection. We enjoyed the dinner very very much! Highly recommended! His son will be running an izakaya next door from mid Dec 2022. Hope to check it out the next time we visit Niseko =)

What an experience! The service was beyond amazing, and the owners were super friendly. We were able to reserve a table in advance for lunch and enjoyed a multiple course tasting. Everything was presented like beautiful art and you can tell they really take pride in their craft. I highly recommend to anyone stopping by Niseko to experience this wonderful meal!

Rakuichi is an absolute must if you are coming to the Niseko area! The experience was amazing, not only the wonderful food but the owners made it a night to remember. The time and quality put into each course stands out, some of the best food I have eaten while in Japan. The owners were kind and responsive when our flight was delayed and we were worried we wouldn’t make our reservation. If you get the chance to dine here you should absolutely take it! Reservations required

Exquisite kaiseki meal. Every course was sublime. Delicious and meticulously served. The soba at the end was the best part. The soba water and soup was the perfect finisher to this luxurious meal. We also had the gold leaf sake which was dry and perfect with the meal. Amazing service. Must book far in advance. Highly recommended.

What a delightful experience. If I'm ever back in Niseko, I will 100% make my plans around this reservation. The food was superb and the family was so nice and sweet. Thank you very much.

Excellent soba noodle restaurant, they make it from scratch in front of the guests, the chef uses different kind of stick to roll the dough…... Owner is a very lovely old couples, lady boss is very elegant looking and friendly. Food overall is great, except the sabu sabu is not really our taste (but that’s just a personal thing as we prefer sukiyaki more than plain fish stock sabu sabu)………

Amazing experience and food from wonderful people. The menu was fantastic and each dish was well balanced. The family is amazing and so welcoming. Highly recommended and well worth it.

Amazing experience. Highly recommend. We made reservations months in advance and it was well worth it. The building/atmosphere was so warm and cozy, felt like an oasis of good vibes. Bartop allowed you to be right in the action. Soba is king!

Cute place, amazing family of chefs and best food in Niseko I’ve tried so far! All the dishes are delicate and flavourful! Warm atmosphere, they only take 14 people at lunch and dinner so do book way in advance.

Great experience. Owners and staff were so kind and friendly. Made us feel very welcome. Food was delicious and creative. Loved watching the owner make homemade soba right in front of us

Excellent food and service from a couple. They were very nice and the lady keep checking whether everything was OK. Soba noodles are made in the restaurant itself and served toward end of meal.

Food looks simple but truly wonderful flavors. Initially just looking at the pictures I thought it’d be a super standard omakase meal, but I ended up being really pleasantly surprised! There are just so many tourist traps in Niseko it’s so hard to tell, but this one’s a gem for sure ☺️ I love a good negitoro but this negitoro was life changing. It wasn’t just negi and toro I’m sure there were other ingredients in it maybe a pinch of ginger? Not sure what other seasoning but I was savoring it. It was like a magical rendition of negitoro. The soba at the end was also really clean tasting; we had the duck addition. Highly recommend taking that! Anyway, everything tasted clean and fresh. Loved it!

Managed to secure a booking for lunch here, 10min walk from Annapurni ski base. Attentive owners looking after us, lovely to see soba making and getting to taste it was even better. Each course was sooo tasty!

What a phenomenal place. Amazing experience, wonderful food and excellent ambiance - in a very unassuming looking place. Absolutely loved it!

One of the best meals I've had, and easily the best on our trip to Japan. Food was incredible. Excellent pacing, good portions but not too much. Excellent variety. Nothing heavy. Setting was quaint - you walk past piles of through a small gate to an unassuming house amongst the forest. Service was stellar as well. Tip: plan for 2 hours for taxi pickup

We always stop here when passing through Niseko. Lots of different options to choose from and lots of space for kids to run around.

My new must come to place in Niseko. Niseko bus stops here on the way to and from Hilton Niseko. Best cheese tarts ever piping hot freshly made, gelato was delicious and yoghurt drink too.

One of several restaurants that serves western meals (not counting eateries within hotels), it is a popular dining option for tourists/skiers who want something that doesn't need to be google translated. The space is a modified barn. Open and airy which is nice. Located near other restaurants, it is in a good location. In terms of food, it is good. A decent but small selection of dishes covering each major food group. Nothing super creative but dishes that most western diners will be familiar with. The only disappointment for the evening was the fish. It was bland and boring. Serving sizes are ok but not overly generous. Service is fast from the young wait staff. I suspect they have at least a second seating if not a third. Prices are on the high side or we'll just call it mountain price.

Good service and quality of ingredients, but very overpriced for the quantity of food, even for Niseko. They nickel and dime you for everything, including charging for every small piece of bread (¥50 per piece). They try to be high class but then give you paper napkins. I’d skip it next time around.

The Barn is one of my favorite places to visit when in Niseko. The food is yummy and the atmosphere is a little loud, but perfect for groups. I highly recommend getting one of their seasonal dishes. The basque cheesecake was incredible and the customer service was so kind- we asked if they could make espresso martinis although it was not on the menu and they accommodated us (they were small but delicious!).

Nice break from Japanese cuisine. Service was 10/10. Food was ok, they need to give some more options to the guests. Duck was a bit tough, but we enjoyed it. Hokkaido Milk ice cream was the star of the night. Nice wine selection. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

First time tried out at this restaurant based on positive commentaries. It was quite trendy on the architectural designed. Location was quite convenient. Japanese staff service attitude was good though sometimes they might make minor mistakes. Food was acceptable but far from great. Prices were reasonable with the “combo” set dinner with 1 starter, 1 appetizer & 1 main course to choose from the menu, which cost ¥6000 mainly. However, I couldn’t stand the loud shouting by staff on orders placed & dishes to be delivered, which ruined my appetite completely. Pre-booking seemed to be a must if one wants to dine here.

We were seated 25min after our reservation, the server missed a couple food orders & made wrong drink orders. Took over 2.5 hours to receive all our food and one entree never made it. The food was just average at best

Went to celebrate a friend's birthday. Food was absolutely delicious and the ambience and atmosphere made it so much better. We were a group of 10 so we were able to order and try out many of the items on the menu. Everything on the menu was great but I believe the stars of the show were the lamb cutlet and the Kutchan 540 French Fries. I've never had a lamb cutlet so juicy and flavorful and can say this may have been the best lamb I've had. There was the right amount of acidity to pair with the brown butter to make it not too fatty. The Kutchan 540 French Fries used some local variety of potato that everyone on the table couldn't get enough of. If I were to go again I would skip on the gratins and soups as they were just so-so but the cold appetizers were amazing as well. All in all, great experience and must visit when nearby.

There are many scammy tourist traps in Niseko, but Odin might be one of the most well-disguised. Food and service = 1/5. In summary, in my 20+ trips to Japan this was possibly the worst overall dining experience. There is 0 Japanese hospitality here. Reviews from past years touts locally sourced food from the region (having dined here, I suspect they may mean local as in, all of Japan), a beautiful space (very instagrammable, people outside with professional cameras flashing ridiculous lights for 15 mins while you eat), and in previous years food seemed somewhat reasonably priced, for Niseko. A chef’s course a few years ago cost 6,600jpy, it’s now about double the price. Well, if food is good, I’m fine with a higher price, especially given everything is about 2-3x normal prices in Niseko. Don’t believe anything you see on google from past year reviews; the 2023/24 season menu looks drastically different. There is no Basque cheese cake (we asked, in case it was off-menu), no fries, even the design of the menu looks cheapened. Perhaps ownership has changed. Most importantly, food was disastrous. A friend saw a comment on one of Odin’s posts asking for the chef’s menu, and suggested we respond with “they serve wagyu-flavored chewing gum here”. We were a group of 4 and 2 of us ordered the chef’s course. I wasn’t feeling some of the courses (no options at all), so opted for a la carte. I should’ve known there was a red flag when there was no grade for the “wagyu” course on the menu. Well, the “highlight” of this disastrous evening was no other than the ungraded wagyu of questionable origin and cut. One of the diners in my group got a pretty fatty, melty, piece, he enjoyed it. Mine, was of such a terrible cut it was impossible to slice through without sawing at the meat till the table shook, and impossible to chew. We asked the waiter out of curiosity if the cut of meat of the wagyu a la carte (8,800jpy btw) should be the same as what’s in the chef’s cut. They return saying it’s identical. We tell them it can’t be, and they get very huffy with us, insist it’s the same, but to their credit, at least offer to swap it out (in an angry impatient tone + no apology). They return with a HUGE portion of meat, double the previous portion (as though insinuating we wanted it changed to get more), once again impossible to cut. All 4 of us diners took a bite of the meat to try (at this point incredulous), chewed for about 3 full minutes each, gave up, washed the lump down with water. Obviously, we did not finish this pile of chewing gum and left it behind. The table beside us, a couple, had the SAME problem with their beef (chef’s course). They were hacking at the meat, and at some point one diner surrendered and asked for hers to be taken a look at. It seems the only concession she got was to have hers cooked a little more (don’t think it helped). We exchanged a few words, and she told us what we had witnessed- this beef is inedible, and the staff unhelpful. She looked infuriated; another diner’s evening ruined. The rest of the food: hamachi is unseasoned, dressing sub-par, tasted like 5$ sashimi from Life supermarket. The bread and butter selection is a few slices of underbaked baguette w/ butter that tastes like those prepackaged slabs of Hokkaido butter you can again find from the supermarket. Not even the fermented ones. Clams were ALRIGHT (thank goodness), some sand and shell bits though, but in comparison with the other disasters this was at least a 2.5/5. The cherry on top is that at the end of the meal, they come round with a Square reader, and ask for a tip on the screen before you can complete the payment. You know those default ones you see in the US, at like boba guys? 15%, 20%? In Japan?? And when we were getting our coats to leave, the rude manager comes by, says “GOODNIGHT” and slams the door shut in our faces; this is the door to the cloak room so we weren’t even letting in cold outside air. Ok, yeah, thank you, never again. Goodnight and goodbye forever.

We had such a wonderful dinner. The dishes were delicious, creative and a feast for the eyes. We loved our cocktails. The service was beyond compare. This is a truly elevated food experience and it can be hard to find this in most ski towns. We are so lucky we were able to get a reservation here. Anyone coming to Niseko should make sure to get a reservation here.

2 words: fantastic experience For a ski resort, the food was amazing and not pricey, wine included! The staff, was very professional while keeping friendliness which made my family warmly welcomed and truly confortable. Especially Rodolphe who made our experience unique. Finally, the atmosphere was wonderful. Bright, warm, cosy fashionable A must for everyone going to Nikeso

Came over to eat dinner with some colleagues and had the 4-course meal with some wine and champagne. The staff were very nice and attentive, the food was nice.

Great atmosphere and service. The food lived up to its expectations and the wait between courses was nicely gapped. It’s located in a central hirafu making it easy to get to from most residences in the area. Would strongly recommend for people travelling to niseko.

We had a great moment at the Barn, I went there for a special celebration and everything was perfect. Was busy but the team did a great job very friendly and professional. The food is good, the place is great . Thank you the Barn team .🙏

Had their omakase ¥11000, quality of food are just average. Sake flask 180ml for junmai ¥1100 and above which I personally find it a little pricey.

We had an amazing dinner with the freshest sashimi and sushi. We had the counter seat and it was mesmerising watching the chef at work. Each bite was delicious and it was well worth the drive out. The owners were very lovely and tried their best to engage in conversation with us even if english wasn’t their native tongue. We will definitely return again if we return to Niseko.

Feel cheated, we book a set online at lunch which include uni in it. We turn up at restaurant and it turn out uni is replaced with salmon. The explanation is in Japanese menu (which is not available online) that the content can be changed depend on the day. They also said if we really want uni, we can order it separately with extra charge.... So yeah... The food is delicious though.

33000 per head omakase dinner, providing sashimi with fish bone, cheap fish, poor dish presentation. There are total 11 of us attending this dinner with our private room. The chef didn’t serve us at all, the food are providing in a big dish. There are no good food at all, the only little uni sushi is not sweet, and there are so many dishes with salmon. Looks like a 3300 set rather than a 33000 yen omakase. I do not recommend this restaurant at all unless you hate the person so much you can ask him or her to go here. Very disgusting food experience in here.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Great experience sitting at the sushi bar speaking to ryoshei. Worth every penny.

Come if you want average quality and pricey sushi - we had much better in Tokyo. In hindsight, we shouldn't have travelled out of our way to get to this restaurant from Hirafu (requires taxi booking which is not the easiest to book and amend). However, the head chef and staff were super nice. The Angler fish was unique but the rest was avg.

Everything is good, Taishō and staff’s personality are so kind. The portion of the lunch set was just nice even I didn’t order extra. It was one of the memorable lunch I’ve ever had, and definitely will go again!!! The eel sushi was so delicious!!

Worth splurging on the omakase menu. We went for the 15000 yen option and seriously it was the best Japanese dinner I've had in my entire life. Top quality, freshest ingredients, prepared and/or cooked to perfection. Incredible service, English speaking staff and menu available. Make reservations in advance to avoid disappointment. I wanna go back!

What a great place, the food was exceptional, the best tuna belly I've ever had not to mention the first and hopefully not the last time I have angler fish liver, so good. Drinks recommendations were fantastic and reasonably priced and the chefs and wait staf were amazing, execute their roles with precision while being engaging and genuinely interested to know more about their customers. When we return to Niseko we will be back!!! どうもありがとうございます。

My family of 5 had a lunch winter special omakase- the chef is highly skilled and very kind, he provided above and beyond service. Unforgettable experience in Japan. Highly recommend 10/10!!

Best pizza in the Niseko area. Wood oven, less salty than typical Tokyo Napolitano. Suntory Malt draft beer - not my favourite but seems to be a thing up here 🤷‍♂️

Very good! I'm half Italian and fan of Pizza Napoletana and this place is very good. I ordered the mixed salad which was very big and delicious, and the margherita with buffala and it was perfect. I asked for spicy oil, and they had it :)

Great great pizza, moody chef but if you behave, you can have eat there. Must book.

Nice pizza with many different options! The ingredients they offer are incredibly fresh and delicious. The quality of the mozzarella is really good! The buffalo mozzarella Margherita is an excellent choice 👌🏽

Thicker crust than I love but still very very good. We went around 3pm I believe so we were seated upon arrival. Not the friendliest service so 4 star! But definitely worth a try.

omg simply raving about this restaurant unfortunately it closed down. i’m a loyal customer of 10 years and the owner is a great man. the pizza is delicious 🍕

Best pizza in the niseko area. Bear in mind they are going mostly reservations only for lunch cos they’re short staffed for 2022-2023 season.

Full house, so I take away 2 pizzas and 1 tiramisu. Veli nice!
