Risonare Tomamu Launches Summer Limited Dinner Course Featuring Melon and Rare 'Tokishirazu' Salmon

'Risonare Tomamu,' which operates under the concept of a 'graceful stay feeling the earth of Hokkaido,' will offer a summer-limited dinner course bringing out the charm of red and green melons at its main dining room 'OTTO SETTE TOMAMU' from July 1 to August 31, 2026. The restaurant's concept is 'Bella Combinazione,' which means 'beautiful combination' in Italian. Guests can enjoy an 8-course Italian meal, including creative pasta pairing the rich sweetness of red melon with rare summer salmon, and a lightly prepared dolce featuring refreshing green melon. Additionally, guests can choose from three pairing courses: an alcohol pairing featuring Hokkaido and natural wines (*1), a non-alcoholic pairing utilizing herbs and spices, or a mixed pairing to enjoy both. *1 Wine produced in a way as close to natural as possible, from the grape cultivation method to the fermentation process using natural yeast and bottling. Introduction to the Summer Limited Dinner Course ■ Pasta 'Cold Capellini with Red Melon and Tokishirazu' This cold pasta stars red melon, representative of Hokkaido's summer, and reconstructs the traditional Italian 'prosciutto e melone' in a way unique to this region. When the glass cover (cloche) is opened, a smoked aroma wafts out, overlapping with the fresh scent of melon. The sauce luxuriously uses not only ripe melon flesh but also its overflowing rich juice, locking in the melon's charm completely. This harmonizes with the soft saltiness and fatty umami of the rare 'Tokishirazu' summer salmon, which has been carefully cold-smoked over time. The rich sweetness of the melon and the aged umami of the salmon deeply enhance the original richness of the ingredients in this dish. ■ Dolce 'Melon Meringata' A dessert combining green melon, characterized by its refreshing sweetness, with three types of meringue. The light, crispy texture of baked meringue and the light sweetness of fresh cream mixed with meringue and ice cream accentuate the melon's flavor. Furthermore, sponge cake soaked in Vinsanto (*2), with its mellow sweet aroma, further brings out the freshness of the green melon. *2 A traditional sweet dessert wine primarily produced in the Tuscany region, meaning 'holy wine' in Italian. ■ Main 'Venison Cartoccio' Summer venison is characterized by its delicate, refreshing taste and the juicy umami of lean meat. Inspired by the fact that deer prefer to eat bamboo grass, it is finished as a 'cartoccio,' wrapped and baked in bamboo grass. The fragrant aroma of bamboo grass that spreads the moment the wrapper is opened further enhances the trapped umami of the meat. As a garnish, a gratin of eggplant and venison ragout luxuriously using mozzarella cheese from Farm Hoshino (*3) is served, making it a dish where you can fully enjoy the pure taste unique to summer venison. *3 An agricultural project developed at this resort under the concept of 'Travel x Agriculture.' Enhance Your Meal with Carefully Selected Pairings 'Cold Capellini with Red Melon and Tokishirazu' x 'Malvasia in Rovere 2021' (Livio Nicolini) Paired with the pasta where the deeply cold-smoked Tokishirazu and the rich sweetness of ripe red melon harmonize, is a white wine from Friuli. The ripe, honey-like nuances of the grapes and the brewed flavor further enhance the fresh fruitiness of the melon and the aged umami of the smoked salmon, bringing a profound lingering finish. 'Melon Meringata' x Sauvignon Blanc Grape Juice Paired with the green melon dolce is a drink in which the herbal flavor characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc stands out. The refreshing aroma reminiscent of young grass and herbs and the moderate acidity further enhance the delicate taste of the melon and the mellow flavor of the Vinsanto hidden in the dessert.
