MugiWhat! They are open September 18 to 22? That sounds like a perfect craft-beer getaway!
Hop BroExactly. It is open 1–8 p.m. from the 18th through 21st, and 11 a.m.–6 p.m. on the 22nd. The real bonus is the local bar-food menu.
MugiBeer and great food? I am already sold. The one I want first is the mackerel bamboo curry!
Hop BroIt is a mini curry with tomato, spices, mustard-seasoned mackerel, local potatoes, and nemagari bamboo shoots. The rice includes spelt wheat from Tamamura.
MugiSpelt wheat? What is that—wheat with a fancy spell? Tell me the secret of spelt!
Hop BroNo magic tricks, sadly! Spelt is an ancient type of wheat with a nutty, rustic character. It is also used in Yuru Buru spelt beer, connecting the meal with the brewery.
MugiThe same ingredient in the rice and beer? Now I want a side-by-side tasting! And tofu topped with green-pepper meat miso sounds made for beer.
Hop BroIt uses firm tofu from Kitazawa Tofu Shop with pork mince and green peppers. It has plenty of flavor without being too heavy, so try it with a crisp, clean beer.
MugiA dangerous pairing—my chopsticks and glass would never stop! Wait, there is also salted caramel cheesecake? My stomach needs a holiday upgrade!
Hop BroThe bitter caramel, sweet syrup, and salt should be wonderful together. They also plan to offer the barrel-aged Yamabushi cozy bottle series, with Cognac-cask fruit and wood notes.

Five-day holiday opening
THE FARMHOUSE in Yamanouchi, Nagano, will extend its usual schedule for the holiday period and open from September 18 through 22. Hours are 13:00–20:00 from September 18 to 21, followed by 11:00–18:00 on September 22. The beer pub is associated with Shiga Kogen Beer and offers a setting where guests can enjoy its beers amid the mountain atmosphere of Shiga Kogen.
Mini curry featuring local ingredients
The featured bar food includes a mini saba spice curry made with rice and spelt wheat from Tamamura Honten. The tomato-based curry combines mackerel, spices, mustard, local potatoes, and nemagaridake, a bent-root bamboo shoot familiar in the Yamanouchi area. The dish brings together the savory flavor of mackerel, gentle acidity, spice, and the texture of bamboo shoots.
The rice is cooked with Koshihikari and spelt wheat grown at Tamamura Honten. Spelt is also used in Shiga Kogen Beer’s Yuru Blue spelt and House Lager, making the dish a direct expression of the brewery’s connection to local agriculture. Its mini size is designed for enjoying alongside a beer.
Savory snacks and dessert
“Kitazawa Tofu Shop chilled tofu with green-pepper meat miso” pairs firm cotton tofu with a richly seasoned mixture of ground pork and green pepper. The substantial but not overly heavy flavor should work well with a crisp pint.
For dessert, the salted caramel cheesecake combines bitter caramel folded into cheesecake with sweet caramel syrup and a touch of salt. THE FARMHOUSE also plans to recommend cozy, a small-bottle series from barrel-aged Yamabushi, whose cognac-barrel character adds fruitiness and woody complexity.
Food availability may change during the five-day run, with some items potentially selling out or being replaced later in the period. Guests should check the pub’s official updates before visiting.
