You can enjoy a buffet-style meal featuring carefully selected ingredients, including Tategamori Highland Pork raised at Ark Tategamori, pesticide-free vegetables, and eggs.
At Ark Tategamori, our group handles many of the processes related to food production, from soil preparation and vegetable cultivation to raising pigs and chickens, processing, and cooking.
Because the production site and the restaurant are so close together, one of the unique charms of this place is that you can enjoy your meal while learning about the background of how the ingredients are produced and the thoughts of the producers.
The buffet offers approximately 25 different dishes, including sausages, french fries, pasta, and dishes made with seasonal vegetables.
"I want to eat that too, but there's no more room on the plate!"
For children, the time spent choosing their favorite dishes from the buffet and filling their own plates is also a fun dining experience.
You've created your own unique plate by piling on all the foods you want to eat.
Filled with only your favorite dishes, it's like having your own "Best Plate." The joy of savoring the food you've chosen yourself, and the time spent around the dinner table with your family, will become cherished memories of your time at the farm.
Even if you have small children, you can relax.
We provide high chairs for children and unbreakable tableware and cutlery.
Additionally, the store is equipped with a nursing room and has ramps throughout, allowing you to easily access the restrooms and nursing room with your stroller.
Even vegetables you don't like will go down easily! Ark Kanemori's carefully selected ingredients
At Ark Tategamori, we are committed to soil preparation and grow vegetables without the use of pesticides. We continue to cultivate our crops carefully, removing weeds from the fields one by one by hand.
The buffet features dishes made with seasonal vegetables from nearby farms, including those from Ark Tategamori. The menu is planned according to the season to bring out the flavors and aromas of the ingredients.
When a staff member explained the ingredients, saying, "This dressing is made with carrots," some children were surprised, exclaiming, "I didn't realize that!"
We sometimes receive heartwarming feedback like, "My child, who used to dislike vegetables, now reaches for them on their own!"
One of the main attractions of this buffet is Ark Tategamori's brand of pork, "Tategamori Kogen Pork."
From feed preparation onwards, we are dedicated to raising our pigs with meticulous care and time, resulting in Tategamori Kogen pork characterized by its tender lean meat and light, sweet fat. We aim to produce pork that you can eat every day without getting tired of it.
At the buffet, you can enjoy Tategamori Kogen pork in a variety of dishes, including roasted Tategamori Kogen pork, grilled dishes using homemade herbs, and additive-free (*) ham, sausages, and bacon.
*Ark Kangamori's "additive-free" means that it does not contain preservatives, colorings, binding agents, flavor enhancers, color fixatives, or bulking agents.
Other popular menu items include traditional eggs that can be enjoyed in three ways: raw, hot spring-cooked, and boiled, and a spiced pork curry made with Tategamori Kogen pork.
Learn about the origins of your ingredients and enjoy a unique farm-based dining experience.
When staff members go out into the dining area to replenish the food, it sometimes leads to conversations with customers.
"The sausages and big pieces of meat were delicious!"
When I tell the children who say that, "The sausage and meat you're using come from pigs raised on the Ark Tategamori farm," they look surprised.
Knowing where the ingredients come from and who grows them can make your everyday meals seem a little different. Witnessing that moment of change is a joy for us producers.
What Ark Tategamori values most is being dedicated to every step of the process, from growing the ingredients to delivering them as finished dishes.
We hope that having a meal right next to the farm, where you can feel close to the production process, will give you an opportunity to reflect on the meaning behind the phrase "Itadakimasu" (a Japanese phrase said before eating).
Enjoying homemade desserts and herbal tea after a meal
After your meal, we recommend our desserts that highlight the quality of the ingredients, such as homemade pudding made with plenty of eggs, panna cotta made with seasonal fruits, and homemade yogurt.
Additionally, there's a tea corner where you can choose your favorite scent from over 20 types of herbs and blend your own unique herbal tea. You can enjoy the aromas and characteristics of the herbs and choose a combination to suit your mood that day.
Enjoy a moment of relaxation, sipping your drink while gazing at the pasture scenery. Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and spend peaceful time with your family.
Enjoy a seasonal herbal tea with fresh mint.
From spring to autumn, you can enjoy fresh mint harvested on-site. We also offer fresh mint tea and herbal water made with mint grown without pesticides.
