GINZA Shinfuen Launches Exclusive 'Bear Paw Course' Featuring Legendary Domestic Wild Bear Paw, a Supreme Delicacy for Vigor and Health

## "Bear Paw" Course GINZA Shinfuen, a Chinese restaurant in the Ginza MIYUKI Building, operating under the concept of "fusion of Chinese tradition and innovation," has begun offering the "Bear Paw Course," which luxuriously uses domestically sourced wild bear paws, an extremely difficult ingredient to obtain. "Bear paw" is a legendary delicacy among gourmets, historically revered in China as one of the "Eight Treasures," so rare that even emperors throughout history found it difficult to obtain. Emperors once consumed "bear paw" in hopes of eternal youth and longevity. However, with the historic turning point in February 2020, when China completely banned the consumption of wild animals, its presence in its native China effectively came to an end. GINZA Shinfuen, which secures ingredients through its own unique channels based on international rules and continuously maintains advanced cooking techniques, is now visited by gourmets from all over Japan and abroad, wishing to "taste authentic imperial cuisine at least once in a lifetime" as one of the few sanctuaries in the world where such a meal can be savored. To offer this rare gastronomic experience to more customers, we have prepared a supreme course featuring carefully selected domestic brown bears and Asiatic black bears as the main ingredient. The "Bear Paw Course," with "bear paw" as its main dish, can only be savored at GINZA Shinfuen. Exquisite bear paw before cooking "Spares no effort, brings out the essence of the ingredients." This is the pride GINZA Shinfuen has upheld. Bear paw is an ingredient often avoided by modern restaurants due to the immense effort and time required for its preparation. However, with the desire to "disseminate authentic Chinese culinary culture from Ginza," our restaurant insists on using domestically sourced wild individuals (from Hokkaido, Aomori, Akita, etc.). Our skilled artisans dedicate several days to its procurement, pre-processing, and stewing. Our astonishing track record of serving bear paw, compared to other restaurants, is not merely due to its rarity but also a testament to our cooking techniques and the trust in its unforgettable taste. A supreme harmony woven from the wild's vigor and refined sauces. We offer a unique experience suitable for special business dinners or banquets to entertain true connoisseurs. ▪️ "Bear Paw Course" Details The main dish is "Traditional Stew of Domestic Wild Bear Paw."
