| Next, Fried Tempura is ayu fish, pumpkin, eringi mushroom, and shishito pepper. The ayu fish comes from a fish farm in Kannami Town, Mishima City. The aroma of the ayu fish, along with seasonal vegetables, is quickly wrapped in the batter. The ayu fish is dipped in salt and tasted as it is. |

| The rice dish is a specialty of "Kannon Onsen": sakura shrimps cooked in a kama-meshi pot. The sakura shrimps are caught in Yui Town, located along Suruga Bay in central Shizuoka Prefecture. The shrimp is cooked together with green peas in the inn's hot spring water. The taste of the ingredients was brought out to the maximum, and both the flavor and aroma were fully appreciated. The sea bream soup was a perfect ending to the dish, with the aroma of the sea spreading in the mouth. The pickles were homemade pickled cucumber, pickled daikon and shibazuke. |

| Dessert is mainly fruits produced in the prefecture, and can be enjoyed lightly even after a gorgeous dinner. The watermelons are from Hirai, Kannami-cho, near Mishima City. Melons are also from the same prefecture. In addition to the fruit, the dishes are also served with handmade white sesame yokan (bean jelly). The white sesame seeds mixed with white bean paste is an elegant Japanese sweet that is sure to soothe you. |

| These are just a examples of the dinners at this inn. Washing, boiling, steaming, baking, cooking.... The inn's miraculous hot spring water was used in every step of the cooking process. If you stay at the main building, there is no big difference in the number of dishes, but there are some changes, such as soy milk shabu shabu with Gotemba's Rui pork as the hot pot dish. In any case, the kaiseki cuisine, which is rich in seasonal flavors and uses many local products, will be a great pleasure during your stay. |
