A local diner near Hakuba Railway Station. Teppanyaki (a hot steel plate on the middle of the table for cooking) and Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancakes, usually without sugar) available. Local restaurant, but full of internationl tourists in winter - when we visited in early Feb, everyone was a skier/snowboarder from overseas except our family, the Hakuba's inbound demand is amazing.
Ordered Miso Ramen noodles and Tonkatsu (pork cutlet) set meal. The Ramen was huge, the kids were really full. The Tonkatsu has sauce on it. A bit disappointing for me, as I am a soy sauce fan.
Even after 2am, the restaurant was busy with many customers and it took about 45 minutes from ordering to serving. Seemed like they didn't have enough staff to run, but I guess that depends on the season. Cash only. The parking lot is small and finding a room to park is a miracle.

Really glad that I stepped into this place for lunch. Local and authentic.
We ordered two sets, one stir fried pork, and another is the stir fried vegetables, fried rice and gyoza. The sets came with rice and a bowl of plain ramen. Don't be deceived by the presentation (looks), the taste was great. Too hungry and forgot to take pictures. 😅
I would have tried the okonomiyaki if we could get the table comes with the hot plate.
Was looking for a lunch place while there was quite a bit of snow falling, near Hakuba station. Found this unpretentious place. I would have missed it if not for the very simple signboard. Happy to find this place.

"Drink and eat here, you will be satisfied."
その通り！
They've nailed it.
Outstanding value for the money.
The teishoku (lunch sets) are fantastic, both in flavor, variety, and volume.
The fried chicken lunch set, at 800 yen, is massive. They give you a truly large piece of chicken, lightly covered in delicious crispy breading. Plus pickled vegetables, plus rice, plus more vegetables, plus half size ramen. Outstanding.
You will honestly leave here happier than when you came in😂
