Pasta 'Fedelini with Young Ayu and Cucumber'
RISONARE Nasu, an agriturismo resort in the highlands, will offer a summer-limited dinner course at its main dining 'OTTO SETTE NASU' from June 21 to September 15, 2026. This is an 8-course dinner that combines seasonal summer ingredients like zucchini flowers, young ayu, and cucumber with the traditional cooking methods of Tuscany, Italy.
About OTTO SETTE NASU
The concept of OTTO SETTE NASU is 'Regione × Regione,' meaning 'Region × Region' in Italian. It serves traditional cuisine from Tuscany, Italy, using ingredients familiar to Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture. The resort is located in an area with sprawling agricultural landscapes and a thriving dairy industry. As an 'agriturismo resort' that proposes meals and various activities at a resort hotel centered on experiencing local production, we use plenty of familiar vegetables and dairy products from this land. Furthermore, we offer a wine pairing centered on carefully selected wines to match the dishes.
Introduction to the Summer Limited Dinner Course (Partial)
■ Cold Appetizer 'Pinzimonio from the Farm'
A cold appetizer of vegetables from the on-site farm. A dish that lavishly incorporates the blessings of Nasu, 'Pinzimonio from the Farm.' On a black plate fired by Mr. Koichi Onozawa, a ceramic artist associated with Nasu, seasonal vegetables harvested from the resort's farm 'Agri-Garden' and grown in the Nasu region are arranged, allowing you to feel the bounty at a glance. Furthermore, cheese and Yashio-masu trout, which are actively produced in Nasu, are also added, condensing the charm of the region. The stick vegetables in the glass container can be picked up by hand, enjoying their fresh taste with bagna fredda, as if harvesting in a farm.
■ Pasta 'Fedelini with Young Ayu and Cucumber'
A pasta combining the slightly bitter young ayu and fresh cucumber. This pasta features the delicate texture of fedelini pasta with a refreshing cucumber sauce. In addition, you can enjoy it with two other sauces: a cucumber and genovese sauce, and a sauce using 'uruka' (*1). The pasta is topped with crispy, ultra-thin noodles and fried young ayu, allowing you to enjoy various textures at the same time.
*1 Salted guts of ayu fish.
■ Meat Dish 'Beef Arrosto'
Roasted beef with smoked cheese wrapped in a zucchini flower. The main course is 'Beef Arrosto.' It is served with medium-rare roasted beef, accompanied by fried zucchini flowers and potatoes. Scamorza affumicata (*2) is wrapped inside the zucchini flower bud, allowing you to enjoy the flavor of smoked cheese. It is a dish to be savored with a sauce made from black olives and pickled shiso.
*2 Smoked 'scamorza cheese,' which is a further aged mozzarella.
