Seasonal Social Lunch: Frogs Singing, Worms Rising (Gluten-free)

Join us for a slow, seasonal lunch at one of Hida’s tiniest restaurants — a cozy spot with just seven seats and a deep love for local ingredients.

This is a simple gathering, no agenda, just good conversation and a chance to share a meal that reflects the shift into early summer — the micro-season between frogs start singing and worms surface.

The main languages spoken will be English (and Japanese) - but don’t worry, we all speak the language of good food.

Expect a delicious, gluten-free meal prepared with care and tuned to the changing weather. Vegan options available if booked in advance.

Whether you're new to the area or have lived here for years, this is a chance to connect over food and soak in the small details of the season together.

🪷 Limited seats – RSVP required
🥬 All food is gluten-free
🌿 Vegan options available – please note when you RSVP

We’ll meet at Kanokoya Cafe a few minutes before the booking and head in together.

Come early & have a stroll around the neighbourhood, visit the carpentry museum, check out the traditional candle shop & feed the koi fish in the famous Setogawa stream.

Come hungry, come curious.
