After spending over 20 years abroad, Chef-Owner Motozawa returned to Japan and honed her skills for 7 years at Hida Kisetsuryouri Sakana, a renowned Japanese restaurant in Hida-Takayama that earned a Michelin star in 2019.
In 2024, she opened her own intimate hideaway restaurant in Hida-Takayama, where she showcases a unique fusion cuisine inspired by her international experiences and deep foundation in Japanese culinary arts.
Her dishes are crafted with care using fresh, seasonal local ingredients—including wild mountain vegetables and mushrooms she forages herself—and creatively enhanced with global techniques and seasonings. The result is a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The interior blends elements of Japanese aesthetics with curated décor from other cultures, creating a mysterious, enchanting space that feels like you’ve stumbled into a hidden world while journeying through Japan.
Seating is limited to 5 guests (can be increased up to 8 seats with prior consultation) to ensure a personalized and attentive experience. As the restaurant is operated solely by the female chef, reservations are required—walk-ins cannot be accommodated.
From courses featuring premium Hida beef to thoughtful vegetarian and vegan options, this restaurant is a reliable gem in Hida-Takayama for guests with dietary preferences or restrictions.
