Japan’s beautiful traditions are a homage to love for nature’s every visage. On the wind crossing the water, hear the trees rustle and the birds sing…open a window, and savour the richness of the moment.

Transforming the tastes of the season...
In Spring, enjoy a hot-pot soup with fresh scabbard fish caught at nearby Suruga Bay. The aromatic fish is prepared with a simple bonito and kelp stock.
From the start of summer, you can enjoy freshwater trout from a tributary of the Kano River. This fish is served charcoal-grilled and also in an aromatic dish with rice.
In Autumn, you can try conger eel with seasonal Matsutake mushrooms in a hot pot with a stock extracted from the eel’s bones.
In winter, we offer their trademark dish, which we have been preparing for over 30 years. The dish is a hot pot of seared Amagi game fowl in a stock made from bonito, sea kelp and game fowl. When you have eaten all the meat, drop an egg
in the stock and enjoy with rice.
Relax and unwind...
The air is resplendent with a refreshing crispness, a somehow nostalgic serenity and entrusts yourself to the peaceful flow of time.
In the gentle warmth of the sun, take a moment to slow down and sit back and relax.
