Words Worth Sawara
Powered by Google
Housed in a renovated and extended traditional Japanese merchant house along the Onogawa River in Sawara's historic "Little Edo" district, Words Worth pairs a rustic wooden interior with a calm, stylish atmosphere. The kitchen focuses on vegetable-forward Italian and European bistro cooking, from house-made pasta and pizza to slow-braised beef and game dishes such as Hokkaido octopus carpaccio or Minami-Furano brown bear terrine. A long-running local favorite popular with couples and groups of friends, it fills up on weekends, so reservations are recommended.
