Special Menu for Summer Only, Featuring Local Ingredients and Seasonal Seafood

Sol Poniente, a restaurant & cafe operated by Fujisho Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Sanyo-Onoda City, Yamaguchi Prefecture; President: Toshihiko Fujita), a group company of Fuji Sho Group Holdings Co., Ltd., will offer a monthly special menu using seasonal ingredients from Wednesday, July 1, 2026, to Friday, July 31, 2026.

Sol Poniente, located in a prime spot overlooking Yakeno Beach, selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Sunsets, offers dishes that utilize seasonal ingredients throughout the year. For this month's special menu, we are featuring ingredients at their peak from early to mid-summer, such as "tilefish (hamo)," "Choshu-dori" chicken from Yamaguchi Prefecture, corn grown in the local Hanyu district, and flavorful mussels.

We have created a special lineup for July that maximizes the appeal of these ingredients while blending them with the lightness and vibrancy characteristic of Mediterranean cuisine, ensuring a delightful experience even as the heat intensifies.

Summer Staples Gathered

"Tilefish (Hamo) Fritto with Okra and Tomato Peperoncino" - 1,800 yen (tax included)

This dish features tilefish, a prized fish that signals the arrival of summer, prepared as a crispy fritto, served with a refreshing peperoncino made with okra and tomatoes.

The freshly fried tilefish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, allowing you to fully savor its delicate umami. The sliminess of the okra and the moderate acidity of the tomatoes create a light dish perfect for the hot season.

The aroma of garlic stimulates the appetite without being heavy, making it a truly summer-exclusive dish. It's recommended for lunch while enjoying the sea breeze or for dinner while watching the sunset.

"Choshu-dori Chicken with Valencian Orange Cream Sauce" - 1,800 yen (tax included)

This pasta dish uses "Choshu-dori," a premium brand chicken from Yamaguchi Prefecture, coated in a cream sauce inspired by the Valencia region of Spain.

The sauce blends the refreshing aroma of orange with the rich fragrance of rosemary, creating a rich yet surprisingly light finish. It enhances the tender texture and umami of the Choshu-dori chicken.

While cream-based pasta is typically associated with winter, this menu incorporates the zest of citrus to make it enjoyable even in the summer. The gentle richness and vibrant aroma that fill your mouth create a special moment reminiscent of a Mediterranean resort.

"Hanyu Corn and Prosciutto Pizza" - 2,200 yen (tax included)

A seasonal pizza packed with local charm, generously featuring corn grown in the Hanyu district.

Corn nurtured under the summer sun is remarkably sweet and juicy. Its natural sweetness creates a exquisite contrast with the saltiness of the prosciutto.

Baked quickly at high temperatures, the corn's natural sweetness is further enhanced, with a rich flavor unfolding with every bite.

This pizza, a realization of Sol Poniente's commitment to local sourcing, embodies our desire for many people to experience the culinary delights of Sanyo-Onoda City.

"Mussel and Tilefish (Hamo) Fritto Paella" - 2,400 yen (tax included)

A summer-exclusive paella generously topped with mussels and tilefish fritto, served over rice infused with the rich flavor of seafood.

The deep broth from the mussels harmonizes the overall flavor, with the crispiness and aroma of the tilefish fritto adding a delightful accent.

Enjoyed with the open atmosphere of a seaside restaurant, this paella offers a taste of traveling along the Mediterranean coast.

It's perfect for sharing with family and friends, a vibrant dish to color your summer memories.

Delivering the "Taste of the Season" Only Available in Summer

Every ingredient has its peak season for flavor.

This monthly special menu was born from the desire to offer flavors that can only be enjoyed "right now," not just because they are seasonal.

The delicate umami of tilefish, the sweetness of corn, the rich flavor of Choshu-dori chicken, and the deep broth of mussels – these are tastes achievable only in July when each reaches its prime.

At Sol Poniente, we deliver unique seasonal delights through our cuisine, cherishing local ingredients and the essence of each season.
