Mansaku

Hand-made soba Mansaku (手打ちそばまん作) is a popular buckwheat noodle restraunt founded in 2004 in Kamifurano town located in the south part of Asahikawa city, and is near Miharashidai Park (見晴台公園). Mr. Nobunari Hirayama (平山 信成) is a restraunt owner. He established the Mansaku after trining his cooking skill at buckwheat noodle restraunt in Sapporo. They garnered one star in MICHELIN GUIDE Hokkaido 2012 Special Edition and Hokkaido 2017 Special Edition.

Because I heard that the Mansaku is crowded very much at lunchtime, I visited here around 11:00, just opening hour, on a weekday. I was the first customer on that day, and took off my shoes at an entrance, and entered the restraunt. The ceiling is high, and the interior decoration has white walls and woods. The warmth of the woods can be felt. The restraunt is very stylish. All seats are table seats, so I guess that even family customers enjoy meals.

Kami-furano has rich nature, and Kanno Farm, Flower Land Kamifurano, Miyama Pass Lavender Garden and Hinode Park are relatively famous tourist attractions. Hot springs gush out in the Kami-furano, too, and Fukiage Onsen, Tokachidake Onsen and Furanui Onsen are popular.
