“Richmond Hotel Aomori”, part of the hotel chain “Richmond Hotels” operated by the Royal Group, will fully reopen its in-house restaurant on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, as a space that functions not only as a breakfast venue but also as a lounge depending on the time of day. In addition to a revamped spatial design, the menu will also be completely overhauled, evolving into content where you can experience Aomori's food culture.
Through this renewal, in addition to improving the value of the stay in the already renovated guest rooms, we will promote the creation of a space that enriches the time spent in the hotel itself. We aim to make the stay itself a time to experience Aomori through encounters with Aomori's food culture, traditional crafts, and local people. With this, we will evolve into a “stay-focused hotel” connected to the community.
### ■A new breakfast experience surrounding Aomori from the morning, finishing the main dish of your choice in a small pot at your seat
With this renewal, we will evolve into a “morning where you can experience Aomori while staying at the hotel.” The symbol of this is the small pot-style main dish that guests finish with their own hands and enjoy freshly made.
When you select one dish from “Kinmedai (Splendid Alfonsino) Shabu-shabu” or Aomori's local specialty “Kaiyaki-miso (Scallop Shell Grilled Miso)”, the staff will deliver a small pot to your seat. From the moment it is gently heated and steam rises, a natural conversation with the staff is born. The time it takes for the food to finish, the spreading aroma, and the moments spent surrounding the small pot softly shorten the distance with your companions, creating a warm morning time. It is an experience-based breakfast that values “who you spend the morning with and how.”
At the live kitchen, we will serve freshly made dishes such as “Shijimi Ramen” using Shijimi clams from Lake Jusan, the local specialty “Igamenchi” passed down in the Tsugaru region, and “Tempura” using seasonal ingredients to taste Aomori's seasonal flavors. It has evolved into a five-sense buffet where you can enjoy the aroma, sound, and heat. Furthermore, centering on the “apple,” the symbol of Aomori, we will deploy 6 types of apple menus at the time of the renewal opening. By incorporating them multi-dimensionally into dishes, desserts, and drinks, we will express the charm of Aomori's apples to the fullest.
At Richmond Hotel Aomori, all front desk staff have acquired the “Aomori Apple Test Super Advanced Level” and have been certified as an “Aomori Apple Meister Hotel” by the Aomori Prefecture Apple Countermeasures Council. The staff convey the charm of apples, such as the characteristics of each variety, to the guests. This renewal is an initiative following the “space to encounter Aomori's traditional crafts” realized in the guest room and lobby renovation in 2023. In addition to the guest rooms, we are building a stay environment where you can encounter Aomori's food, culture, and people throughout the entire building, including the breakfast venue/lounge. As a place that can be used not only by guests visiting for sightseeing or business but also by local residents, we will evolve the hotel into a presence that serves as a point of contact with the community.
Richmond Hotels will continue to provide services that satisfy guests coming from home and abroad, and...
