“Cuisine” – A Singular Feast, Rooted in the Land

◆ Tour Overview

― The Land That Ferments Beauty and Life ―

Between the sea and mountains lies Tango—
a land where people have long lived in quiet dialogue with nature,
listening to the gentle rhythms of the seasons.

A single grain of rice meets pure spring water
and is transformed into sake—
a creation that carries within it the unseen flow of time
and the memory of the land itself.

In each dish, the breath of the earth and the pulse of the sea reside.
Seasonal blessings, shaped by the chef’s sensibility,
are elevated into a serene feast of harmony and grace.

This journey invites you to encounter the essence of Japanese beauty—
where nature and humanity, ingredient and craft,
come together in quiet balance.
Here in Tango, the land nourishes not only the senses,
but the spirit as well.

■ Takeno Shuzo (Sake Brewery)

Perched between the sea and the mountains,
this brewery breathes in rhythm with the changing seasons and the quiet pulse of rice.
Founded over 150 years ago, Takeno Shuzo continues to embrace innovation while preserving the soul of tradition.

The making of Yasakatsuru—its signature sake—
begins with local Tango rice and pure spring water,
crafted with care to reflect the very essence of the land.
Here, generations of inherited skill meet the fresh sensibility of young brewers,
and each bottle comes alive with a vitality that seems almost human.

The gentle scent of rice malt drifting through the air,
the faint murmur of fermentation in the quiet—
together they form a harmony of time, nature, and human hands.

Nestled between the sea and the mountains of Tango, Nawaya creates cuisine that breathes in harmony with nature.

Each ingredient is brought to life over the gentle warmth of a wood fire, revealing its purest essence.
