Dishes that create harmony with the mind and body,
The Inn, "Kaya Yama no Ie" underwent large-scale renovations in February 2021. A cafeteria has since opened, making it a location that’s easy to stop by. The meals are made with local ingredients and the dining area overlooks the countryside. For lunch, the main dish is your choice, and there are several to choose from like pasta and curry. And you can choose 2 side dishes like rice and miso soup, or salad maybe salad for pasta and curry, along with pickles. There is a wild game butcher shop on the premises, so it is also worth noting that there are plenty of locally produced venison and wild boar meat dishes. All of the wild game is prepared by chef Aoki, who is also a hunter. Top off your meal with Yosano Hop craft beer.
from the chef:
I was born and raised in Yosano and decided to return because I wanted to raise my child in nature. This region has such good quality ingredients, from fish to wild game, rice and vegetables. Having previously worked as a chef in Osaka for twelve years, having all these fresh ingredients on hand is amazing. I specialized in Chinese, Italian, and ethnic cooking, and now I want to promote an old-fashioned lifestyle that emphasizes harmony between body and nature through food. I focus on additive-free seasonings and even cook rice the old way in an iron pot. I think young and old alike will like it.
