A message from the Chef
Founded at the end of the Edo period, about 200 years ago, I am the 12th owner of this ‘shojin ryori’ restaurant. The kaiseki meals that we offer are all vegetarian cuisine, which we have been adhering to since the establishment of the restaurant.
You may think, “Isn’t ‘Shojin Ryori’ something monks eat when you go to a temple for ascetic training?” However, our restaurant is a little different. So we hope that you are able to satisfy your heart and stomach with dishes that are rich in Hida Takayama’s local delicacies & over 200 years of history.
