About Kaiseki -- Traditional Japanese multi-course dinner Kaiseki was originally for a get-together where the main beverage was sake (Japanese rice wine). Nowadays, Kaiseki is served as a lunchtime or dinnertime menu at ryokans and Japanese restaurants. Our typical Kaiseki course includes at least 12 different dishes made with seasonal ingredients and local specialties cooked in various ways.
A bowl of steamed rice and a bowl of soup are generally
served as accompaniments.
Dessert is likely to be a piece of fruit, cake, ice cream, etc.
The entire course takes approximately one and
a half hours to eat.
Please take your time to enjoy our
authentic Japanese cuisine.

This is a full-course traditional Japanese ryokan kaiseki. The dishes are made in a special way to enhance the flavor of the seasonal local ingredients. By adding our original touches to the traditional dishes, we provide dishes which are both great to look at and to taste.
