This course, set against the backdrop of summer in Karuizawa, combines seasonal Shinshu ingredients with the charm of fermentation.
In this course, rich ingredients from Shinshu, nurtured by pure water and temperature variations, are elevated with the umami brought by fermentation, creating a deep yet refreshing taste. All menu items incorporate ingredients from Nagano Prefecture, allowing guests to experience the summer of Shinshu through all five senses through marriages with fermented ingredients such as miso and koji. A particular highlight is the '3 Types of Brochettes,' which simply yet dynamically brings out the charm of the materials. Shinshu Premium Beef Fillet, Shinshu Ogon Shamo Tandoori, and seasonal Shinshu vegetables are prepared as skewers, highlighting their individual personalities. The meat is finished to the guest's preferred doneness and served directly at the table, offering a moment full of presence. Other highlights include appetizers and fish dishes combining Shinshu-specific ingredients with the umami of fermentation, leading to a dessert that leaves a cool lingering finish, allowing guests to enjoy the world of 'Fermentation x Shinshu x Coolness' throughout the course.
Pure water, severe temperature differences, and rich nature. All the high-quality items of Shinshu nurtured by these elements are infused into Chef's soul-stirring dinner course 'Prime Shinshu.' Please enjoy a special dinner experience that can only be tasted here in the cool summer moments of the summer resort Karuizawa.
