Shimane Prefecture, which is set in many Japanese myths and is dotted with many shrines such as Izumo Taisha Shrine. It is also a land full of “kagura” danced to dedicate to God.

At KAI IZUMO, the staff will showcase the traditional performing arts “Kagura” that are handed down in this area. The performance is “Orochi,” which is a myth related to Izumo and is also the highlight of Iwami Kagura. The staff in bright costumes dance dynamically to the light music.

“Takuma Izumo” was created in collaboration with “Shimane R Product”, which consists of five young craft artists. A lot of works with traditional techniques and new sensibilities such as Izumo forging, Sekishu Washi, and Kumiko work decorate the room.

The fusuma and shoji made from Sekishu Washi, which is also registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, creates the warmth. Kumiko’s ceiling lighting, in which several kinds of fine wood pieces are assembled to draw patterns, and the sconces and paper lanterns, which are made by forging Izumo, give off a gentle light.

I thought about a dish that brings out a new charm by using the familiar Nodoguro. The Nodoguro has its skin firmly roasted in order to enhance its rich fragrance.

The ham and radish are finely chopped, combined with the yuzu juice, and the ham is finely beaten and mixed thoroughly. The rich richness of nodoguro and the aged umami of prosciutto match very well. It is a new encounter between seafood and mountain food.

Blissful brewed beer

In the world, we will develop “Bifu no Yu-age Beer” that can be drunk only at hot spring inns, and will provide it at 15 facilities under the same brand all over Japan. KAI IZUMO serves this beer in the guest room.

It is also recommended to drink on a stool lined with a bamboo garden with a Japanese umbrella. You can drink while taking a breath while listening to the sound of bamboo grass swaying in the wind. For beer, Izumo soba, which is a local dish of Izumo, is served as a side dish of Soba Sashimi. For the other part of the split chopsticks, use the original sauce that contains the dashi stock of shijimi or flying fish.

Local shaved ice “Ginger shaved ice”

Shaved ice is one of the summer traditions. In the ancient Heian period, it was also drawn on pillow Soshi. In the world, we devise unique shaved ice for each facility and provide it every summer. In the world of Izumo, ginger has a great flavor and aroma, and is characterized by a refreshing spiciness.

It is sung by Shimane’s folk song, “If you want to be a daughter, go to Desaigo, you will not get a cold with the smell of ginger,” and it has been used to prevent colds. A syrup with a scent of sweetness that can help you overcome hot summers.
