Hanjiro Soup Curry

Nice spot for lunch close to the Alps Azumino Park

Hanjiro Soup Curry is located just under 15 minutes drive from the Alps Azumino National Government Park, and it's a great spot to stop into if you're looking for lunch in the area. They put a focus on seasonal ingredients with their menu, so the veggies in the curry do change from time to time -- but you can rest assured that whatever veggie combo you get, it's going to be delicious. It's also a family-friendly restaurant, with kids soup curry sets available -- they also come with a small hamburger steak, potato salad, and juice, so it's quite a hearty meal. One thing to keep in mind, though -- it is expensive. Most of the soup curry varieties here sit around the 1700 - 1900 yen mark depending on the filling, and even the kids meal is at the 900 yen mark. Not a cheap meal by any stretch, but the food quality and freshness were top notch.
