Where to eat tonight.

10 places. Hours are a guide — some still need a call.

• Roots Cafe ルーツカフェHappo 八方

  Vegetarian and vegan cafe on Happo, attached to Evergreen International Ski School. Local veg, organic when they can, fair-trade drinks. The useful on-hill lunch if your kids are in Yeti Club. Their website still has a 2020 closed banner, so don’t trust the hours — call 0261-85-0034.

• Tierra ティエラHappo 八方

  Vegan ramen in Misorano. Hours aren’t current — confirm before you taxi out to Misorano. Still the name people give when you ask for vegan dinner that is not Roots Cafe.
