Nestled in the rolling hills of Ark Tategamori Farm in Fujisawa, Ichinoseki, is Tills, an organic buffet-style eatery. It's the first to earn accreditation as an organic restaurant in the Tohoku region, and remains one of few in all of Japan.
Tills, which has recently undergone renovations has a roomy ambience with a wooden interior featuring wide glass windows overlooking their immaculately kept grounds. Enjoy a hearty, generous spread made from carefully nurtured ingredients grown on their fertile land.
I've enjoyed a meal here on more than a few occasions, and I never get tired of the variety. I consider myself fortunate to have access to produce of such amazing quality at a reasonable price. Being a big eater—my record of 130 bowls of wanko-soba attests to that—I really like the all-you-can-eat aspect.
Tategamori Ark Farm is renowned for its pork. My father had his reservations as he despises pork. But, to our amazement, he repeatedly insisted on returning to this restaurant, and even enjoyed the pork! My personal recommendations are the spaghetti bolognaise, omelette and pudding (sorry, only this is limited to one per person). But you can try everything, so go ham!
As mentioned, this restaurant is located at Ark Tategamori Farm. Besides the wonderful produce that you can experience at the restaurant, they also have a delightful market. Now, the flower gardens. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The popular times to visit are in April-May when the tulips are in bloom, and June for their lavender. Although there are multiple gardens, Yumemigaoka Garden and Nijigaoka Garden are the most frequented. I highly recommend the farm if you have young children too, as there are animal petting areas and parks.
