Shinshu is a production area of matsutake mushrooms, which is always the highest in domestic production (*1). The shipment starts from the end of August to the beginning of September every year to inform the arrival of autumn. Therefore, we devised this program in the hope that you can feel the autumn in Shinshu by enjoying Matsutake mushrooms.

The scent of matsutake mushrooms is due to the ingredients “Matsutakeol” and “methyl cinnamate” and is said to have the effect of promoting appetite (*2). You can fully enjoy matsutake mushrooms with champagne from the morning while being wrapped in an appetizing scent.

The rich aroma of mushrooms and the aged aroma of wine are the best combination among sommeliers. The champagne “Henriot Cuvee des Enchantereurs 2000” selected by Sommelier is prepared. Aged and complex flavors reminiscent of the earth of Champagne harmonize with the plump and powerful aroma of matsutake mushrooms.

The Japanese restaurant Kasuke’s terrace seat facing the terraced rice fields is a special seat where you can feel the sign of autumn, which is a little earlier than in Tokyo. The maple and leaves of the cherry blossoms, which are faintly colored in the green on one side, delight the eyes. In the fresh autumn air, you can enjoy a holiday morning surrounded by the scent of matsutake mushrooms and champagne while listening to the sound of water flowing down the rice terraces.
