Restaurant Avant Kyu-Karuizawa

Breakfast at Hotel Harvest Club

by Olga Kaneda

Nagano

There are many options to choose from, so I usually combine traditional Japanese dishes like rice, tamagoyaki omelette and pickles, and European cuisine like French toast, corn potage soup, and fresh fruit. And the black bread never ceases to astonish me. Overall, a great way to start you day in Karuizawa.
