Blissful Flavors from Our Chef: The Ultimate in Minami-Kusatsu Straw-Grilled Dishes and Seafood

Direct from Kochi! Savor the Aromatic Flavor of Straw-Grilled Dishes

One of the stars of our Chef's Recommended Courses is, without a doubt, Minami-Kusatsu Straw-Grilled Dishes. We carefully select the freshest seasonal fish, including skipjack tuna directly from Kochi, and skilled chefs expertly grill them over straw fires, a tradition of single-line fishermen. The straw flame instantly sears the fish's surface, locking in concentrated umami and imparting an aromatic fragrance. This unique flavor is an exquisite delicacy that is hard to find elsewhere.

The outside is crispy and aromatic, while the inside is melt-in-your-mouth juicy. With just one bite, the rich aroma of straw fills your mouth, and the inherent deliciousness of the ingredients envelops your tongue. By enjoying it with salt, homemade ponzu, or various condiments, you can savor a range of flavor variations. Straw-grilling is truly a dish to be enjoyed with all five senses, and it is a signature item we proudly offer.

Exceptional Freshness! A Seasonal Tapestry Woven by Minami-Kusatsu Seafood

In our Chef's Recommended Courses, alongside straw-grilled dishes, we also focus on Minami-Kusatsu Seafood. Our head chef personally selects the freshest seafood caught that day and serves it prepared in the most delicious way. The Assorted Sashimi, with its translucent flesh, is an exquisite dish that speaks volumes about its freshness. The colorful presentation, featuring seasonal seafood from all four seasons, is visually appealing and whets the appetite.

Exquisite dishes utilizing seasonal ingredients that change throughout the year are also a major highlight of our courses. You can fully enjoy the blessings of the sea that can only be tasted during specific seasons, such as cherry snapper in spring, conger eel in summer, returning skipjack tuna in autumn, and pufferfish or crab in winter. Our diverse dishes, from simmered and grilled to fried, are meticulously prepared to bring out the maximum flavor of the ingredients, ensuring our customers never get bored. We hope you can experience Japan's rich four seasons through our course meals.
