Created with the freshest and most in-season ingredients found in the nature of the alpine region of Hida Takayama, from both mountain and river, the cuisine at Hida Kisetsuryori Sakana is truly one-of-a-kind that cannot be enjoyed anywhere else.
The hidden mountains of Hida are known for its wealth of wild vegetables and its rivers for the wild fish which swim in its pure waters. The chef personally gathers natural mushrooms from the hida mountains, ones so rare which cannot be found in or procured from in any market and these are cooked and served to guests. Wild vegetables in the spring, fresh river fish in the summer and fragrant mushrooms in the autumn; all these wild ingredients are procured from the nature’s bounty by the chef himself.
Hida Kisetsuryori Sakana was recognized for its culinary prowess with a Michelin star and is where the season can be felt in its cuisine whenever visited. A mesmerizing slideshow of Hida’s nature, seasons and food created with photos taken by the owner can be enjoyed from the counter seats and the seating on the 2nd floor offers a magnificent view overlooking the Northern Japanese Alps. The private room in the annexed traditional Japanese-style folk house offers the most relaxing atmosphere which will undoubtedly relax both your mind and body.
