Choosing a meal in Nagano

Shinshu soba makes a noodle meal, while oyaki works as a snack between stops. Oyaki can contain savoury vegetables or sweet red beans, so look at the filling before ordering.

Tips for choosing a restaurant

Oyaki can fill a snack break while exploring Nagano, Matsumoto, or Karuizawa. Check the filling first so you get the savoury vegetable or sweet red-bean version you’re in the mood for.
