The place
A precise version of the Kushinobo format
A seasonal 46-seat highland branch with counter, tables and a private room. The official listing warns that its nine parking spaces must be reserved in advance.
Kushinobo began in Osaka in 1950. Its defining format is creative kushikatsu made from seasonal ingredients and served in sequence, rather than a single plate arriving all at once.
The catch
Why this place, specifically
This is a destination branch, not a spontaneous year-round stop: verify the seasonal dates and reserve parking before building a Karuizawa evening around it.
