What kind of image do you have of medicinal herbs?
I think there are various images such as bitter, tasteless, and good for your health. Hida City is rich in nature, with 90% of its area covered by forests. More than 250 kinds of medicinal herbs grow wild in the hills and fields, and people in Hida have lived with medicinal herbs for a long time.

5 minutes walk from JR Hida Furukawa Station

There is a café that uses many medicinal herbs from Hida in its dishes.
It is called "Busuitei Ohako". It is located about a 5-minute walk from JR Hida Furukawa Station. The store is very retro and stylish both from the outside and inside. The post in front of the store is a landmark. The café is popular for its lunch plates, which are made from medicinal herbs arranged in an easy-to-eat and tasty way. The owner also serves authentic handmade soba (buckwheat noodles), which he makes himself.
The retro exterior is a landmark!

I actually tried it!

This time, I will have the medicinal herb lunch plate.
I wondered if it had a slightly bitter taste. I thought it might have a slightly bitter taste, but after trying it, my first impression was, "Are they really using medicinal herbs? That was my first impression. Unlike the image of medicinal herbs I had imagined, this is a lunch that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages. The hamburger steak on the plate is made from a medicinal herb called menamomi, which is said to have the effect of thinning the blood.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
The restaurant is popular not only among tourists, but also among locals, so I felt that they are familiar with medicinal herbs on a regular basis. The restaurant also uses plenty of other vegetables and other ingredients, and is highly recommended for women and other customers, as they can eat a variety of dishes little by little.

There are medicinal herbs in desserts as well!

Medicinal herbs are also used in the desserts that can be added to the lunch plate. The set includes a drink and a cake made from menamomi, and you can choose either coffee or tea for the drink. The cake looks like a green tea cake, but it has a slight sweetness that goes very well with the coffee we had together.

Enjoy a walk after dinner!

Around the store is the main sightseeing area of Hida Furukawa, "Setogawa River and Shirakabe Dozo Street". The Shirakabe Dozo Street stretches for 500 meters, and you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons. Why not spend some time at "Kabusuitei OHAKO" between strolls along the streets?
