Mount Tanigawa in Minakami Town, Gunma Prefecture, is one of the "100 Famous Mountains of Japan." Located close to the city center and with perpetual snow remaining even in summer, it's a popular spot to enjoy the mountain all year round. The "Mount Tanigawa Ropeway by Hoshino Resorts," operated by Hoshino Resorts, has expanded its cafes, restaurants, and activities, and changed its name last year
Reborn as "Tanigawadake Yoch by Hoshino Resorts" and launched in March 2024, Tanigawadake's specialty mountain delicacy, "Tanigawadake Bread Gratin," is once again popular this year. Baked fresh to order, the dish offers a piping hot, bubbling texture. Chunks of bacon, chicken, and vegetables are stuffed into hollowed-out bread, then generously topped with a mild white sauce and cheese. This is a must-try mountain delicacy this winter, perfect for warming up after enjoying the powder snow. Enjoy it with a white wine or craft beer
Bread gratin is originally a European mountain dish. To make bread that has hardened over time more delicious, the inside is hollowed out and baked with plenty of milk and cheese. At Tanigawadake, the "spill sauce style" is a specialty, using twice the usual amount of sauce. You can enjoy this luxurious mountain treat while taking in the scenery
The original wooden plate is engraved with the silhouette of Mt. Tanigawa, and the side of the bowl is decorated with a signpost that resembles Mt. Tanigawa, creating an exciting visual experience
After taking the 2,400m ropeway to Tenjindaira Ropeway Station, you can reach the restaurant View Terrace Tenjin, a 3-minute walk away, from which you can enjoy spectacular views of the majestic mountains reminiscent of the Alps
For dessert, we recommend the homemade bread pudding!
