From chopping wood to cooking over the campfire, have an adventure experiencing Hagi’s food and nature
At Nakahara Lumber, wood-burning stoves, campfires, and campfire cooking are a signature part of our hospitality. Come and join us for a unique Hagi-style dining experience! Split the wood, tend to the fire, and cook together over the flames using Hagi’s delicious local ingredients. Finally, let’s gather around the fire, share the warmth, and enjoy a delicious meal together.
You’ll be amazed at how simple it is to make incredible Dutch Oven dishes—just manage the heat from the coals, and let the flavors do the rest!
