Ren (蓮) is the spot I have to recommend today! This Japanese izakaya, run by a super cute Japanese girl with adorable tiger teeth, has been serving up goodness in Hirafu for years and is always popular with the locals. If even the Japanese locals vouch for its flavor, you know it’s the real deal! Every dish is delicious, and their daily lunch specials are a steal—just 1,000 yen for a big set meal. You could eat here every day for a week and not get bored. In Niseko, where everything is pricey, this is practically a blessing! Fill up, sip some tea, and you’ll have plenty of energy to enjoy night skiing until 8:30 without getting tired. Lunch runs from 12:00 to 2:00pm, so don’t ski too long and miss it⏰

Missed lunch? No worries! At night, Ren transforms into a classic izakaya where you can sip sake, savor authentic Japanese dishes, and enjoy the magical snow-lit scenery of Hirafu after dark. 🌃

Hungry? Don’t hesitate—eat up! Besides the restaurants on the slopes, if you want to avoid the crowds, walk a few minutes out toward the NAC area where you’ll find plenty of great options. Here’s the Google location:
