Umenohana, Tofu Restaurant in Saga

If you are looking for a place to enjoy healthy traditional Japanese food in Saga City, I would like to introduce a restaurant called Umenohana.

The name "Umenohana" means "plum blossoms" in Japanese.
Plum blossoms are a symbol of early spring in Japan and are known for their quiet beauty.

They serve tofu dishes such as yudofu and yuba.
Tofu is made from soybeans, and it is healthy and popular in Japan.

The dishes are simple, but carefully prepared and very delicious.
You can enjoy many different tofu dishes, such as tofu dumplings, tofu gratin, and tempura made with yuba.
There are also traditional dishes that you may not know, so using a translation app can be helpful.

The restaurant also has a nice atmosphere.
You can eat in a private room, so it is quiet and relaxing.
There are flowers and simple decorations in the room.

If you would like to use a private room, you may need to order a course meal.

In our case, we needed to order meals that cost more than 3,800 yen.

This restaurant is popular, so it may be difficult to make a reservation, especially on weekends.
I recommend visiting on a weekday if possible.

If you do not have a reservation, you may be seated at a regular table instead of a private room.
However, if there is space, you might be able to use a private room.

The restaurant is a little far from the main station, Saga Station.
However, it is easy to get there by taxi.

You can also take a bus from the bus center at the station and get off at AEON Mall Saga Yamato.
From there, the restaurant is about a five-minute walk.

The building is traditional and has a strong Japanese style.
It looks elegant and calm, and you can feel a sense of Japanese culture there.

The floors are covered with tatami, and there are sliding doors called shoji.
You can also see a small garden through the window.

Once I talked with an American visitor, and she said she knew this restaurant and wanted to live there.

I think it shows how special this place is.

The building is not new, but it feels warm and comfortable.

If you visit Saga, this kind of restaurant is a great place to enjoy both a healthy meal and Japanese culture.
