[Lunch] Yukimi-Gozen

For lunch, we’ll sample local “special occasion” dishes.

A variety of flavorful dishes, prepared by the mothers of the village, that embody the wisdom needed to get through the harsh winter with vitality. The dishes are served on lacquerware that was once used for the village’s weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies and has been carefully passed down through the generations. Please enjoy the unique flavors of this region, passed down alongside the way of life in these snow-covered rural mountains. (Photo for illustrative purposes only)
