We enjoyed a lovely (late) lunch at Tsumugi Cafe. The owner was incredibly sweet and even gave us two apples from their farm to try! We enjoyed local apple juice with vinegar (delicious!), a curry dish and pasta with lemon and shrimp. Honestly a great stop before or after visiting the beautiful town of Obuse. English menu available, with pictures.
