Kyukamura Shonai-Haguro (Location: Haguro-machi, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture; Manager: Osamu Yoshino), a resort hotel located in the Bandai-Asahi National Park, will start selling a spring-limited plan, "Sea of Japan Sea Bream, Wild Vegetables, and Yamagata Beef Seasonal Cuisine," from April 1. This plan allows guests to enjoy the tastes and visual beauty of Shonai, the capital of food, centered around Tsuruoka City, which is registered as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. Spring is a season when meltwater from the Three Mountains of Dewa moistens the earth, bringing blessings to the mountains and fields. Focusing on seasonal ingredients brimming with vitality, the arrival of spring unique to Shonai is expressed in every single dish. ◆ UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy: Tsuruoka City The Shonai region is blessed with ingredients from the villages, mountains, and sea, including the many mountains led by the Three Mountains of Dewa, the Shonai Plain, and the Sea of Japan. Among them, Tsuruoka City retains many "heirloom crops" that are deeply connected to the local climate and lifestyle and have been preserved through a long history. Heirloom crops passed down from generation to generation are still alive in people's dining tables and events as "living cultural properties." Tsuruoka City, a city where such history and food culture merge, was certified as a "UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy" in 2014, and plays a role in protecting Japan's ancient food culture and transmitting it to the future. ◆ Kyukamura Shonai-Haguro Spring-Limited "Sea of Japan Sea Bream, Wild Vegetables, and Yamagata Beef Seasonal Cuisine" Plan This is a special kaiseki meal prepared by our head chef, packed with the charm of Yamagata, such as "Sea Bream" from the nutrient-rich Sea of Japan, "Yamabushi Pork," a premium pork raised only by 12 limited livestock farmers in Haguro-machi, "Yamagata Beef," Japanese black beef fattened in the prefecture, and Mosochiku (bamboo shoots), a specialty of Shonai.
