About Us

Welcome to Farm To Table NORICHIE. Our family-run inn is located in a place blessed with beautiful nature through all four seasons and clear, refreshing air. Vast rice fields, ever-changing skies, and star-filled nights soothe the fatigue of everyday life.

Cycling is one of our favorite pastimes. Riding through the local countryside with rice fields all around is the best way to refresh ourselves. On days off, we enjoy Lake Tazawa, Mt. Akita-Komagatake, Mt. Moriyoshi, Kakunodate’s samurai residences, activities around Lake Tazawa, and hot springs.

My family has long run a delicatessen and bento shop. Dishes made with our homegrown rice and miso, along with vegetables grown by the family, have a nostalgic, comforting flavor. At NORICHIE, we welcome you with meals made from freshly harvested ingredients and carefully selected local sake.

Please enjoy Akita’s rich nature and food culture to your heart’s content.

About Our Logo

Our logo carries the thoughts and spirit behind Farm To Table NORICHIE.

The circles representing a plate and connection express delicious food and warm relationships. The roof symbolizes the comfort of home, while the compass mark and bicycle represent a place of rest for travelers and a welcome for cyclists.

The letters N and C in NORICHIE are the initials of the couple and a sign of our affection for this place.
