From October 1, 2022, we will hold the “Momiji Matsutake Mushroom Aperitif” where you can enjoy the autumn leaves at dusk while enjoying the special matsutake mushroom appetizer and champagne that goes well with the special matsutake mushroom appetizer.
In one corner of the “Tanada” on the premises of HOSHINOYA Karuizawa, we will prepare a special seat limited to one group per day.
A wide variety of trees grow on the terraced rice fields, which remind us of the original landscape of Japan, not only with maples but also magnolias, cherry blossoms, and konara oaks.
It is a space where you can enjoy the view of autumn leaves changing colors in various ways and the fallen leaves spreading like a carpet on one side of the terraced rice field.
Also, at dusk, the setting sun shines on the surface of the water, and the autumn leaves are dyed in the setting sun.
“Japanese Cuisine Kasuke” offers a special matsutake mushroom appetizer.
Enjoy the texture of juicy grape pulp and crunchy matsutake mushrooms in the [Tofu paste with matsutake mushroom and grape], and the [Croquette with matsutake mushroom and buckwheat groats] with creamy and rich buckwheat noodles and diced matsutake mushrooms.
It is a side dish that combines the tastes of autumn unique to Shinshu, such as the “Confit of matsutake mushroom and ayu”, which is cooked at a low temperature and fills your mouth with the flavor of matsutake mushrooms and ayu(sweetfish).
We offer champagne selected by a sommelier that goes well with matsutake mushrooms.
We will prepare “Charles Heidsieck blanc de blancs”.
Made from 100% Chardonnay, it has a refined and elegant taste that complements the taste of Japanese cuisine.
It has a mature aroma reminiscent of the earth and a mellow and deep flavor that harmonizes with the plump and powerful aroma of matsutake mushrooms.
