🥢The Himalayan Spices Journey🥢

Hakuba DINER

A one-night, one-group private spice journey in Hakuba.

Welcome to Hakuba Diner's Menu.

I'm Maki, the owner and chef.
Around the time I felt a deep connection to my homeland, the Himalayas, and Hakuba, a local resident suggested I rent a private house and open a shop there. In November 2024, I was able to open EarthLove Station (ELS) and Hakuba Diner (HD) right next to JR Hakuba Station (about a 1-minute walk).

At Hakuba Diner, we offer a course-style meal themed around a spice journey, allowing you to experience all of our 25+ years of culinary experience and hospitality based on the principle of "food as medicine" in one evening.

All our dishes are homemade and contain no artificial seasonings or preservatives.
Also, as we are a small restaurant, we operate on a reservation-only basis, accepting only one group per day. Please make a reservation in advance before visiting.

These are not overly spicy dishes, but rather gentle spice dishes that prioritize a balance of aroma and flavor.
We believe you will enjoy a special dining experience that you can only find here.

To everyone who has read this far.
Please make a reservation and come visit Hakuba Diner.
