Irohado - Nagano

The service here is excellent, all the food is delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.

I purchased several buns for my train ride to Tokyo. There was a great variety to choose from and each one cost around 220¥ with a tasty filling. The shop is conveniently located on the second floor of a small shopping mall inside Nagano station.

We first stopped by their branch by Zenko-ji Temple (not listed on Happy Cow) and got the pumpkin, miso onion, shimeji, and mixed veggie oyaki. Everything was so delicious that we went back for two more of the shimeji ones. Then we visited the Nagano station branch and had one more of the shimeji and one maitake. Really really recommend! So good! They also sell them frozen in some souvenir shops around, even saw them in Karuizawa. Get some, if you have a chance!

I am a big Oyaki fan thanks to Irohado. Fantastic selection of flavours and perfect to eat nearby or take away. They have full range frozen as well to stock up the freezer. Perfect winter travel food.

As of October 2020, this restaurant is open and fully operational. The food is very tasty, affordable, and served quickly. I especially enjoyed the radish and mixed vegetable buns. It's a great choice to grab for a train ride or as a quick snack.
