A notice of 28 July 2026 says the card processor went bankrupt, so cards are out for the time being and payment is cash only (the branch page and the FAQ still say cards are taken - the notice is the newer of the two). Kabocha hoto is 1,450 yen, azuki hoto 1,400, pork hoto 1,850; a rice ball with miso soup is 710 and stewed offal 600, which is the cheap way to add something for a child. Rice sets such as tempura prawn don and pork cutlet run 1,500. Set menus for groups are 1,900, 2,600 and 3,000 yen. Prices and the line-up differ between the nine branches, so treat these as a guide." last_verified: "2026-08-16" url: "https://www.piggybackjapan.com/spots/spot_0000189/" publisher: "Piggyback Japan" method: "Each fact below was read from the official page it links to.

The quail egg on chanko hoto and the ojiya dishes comes off if you ask when ordering. Parking holds 70 cars, with room for only two or three more to wait on site. The road outside is a prefectural route where stopping is not allowed. - Area: yamanashi - Type: restaurant - Average stay: 60 min - Hours: 11:00-20:00, last orders 19:30, open every day (closures are announced on the site).
