This luxurious experience includes making your own Akita specialty, "Kiritanpo," and grilling it until fragrant. Then, enjoy it in a specially prepared sweetfish broth hotpot, made with a generous amount of premium sweetfish (ayu). The venue is set in a traditional Japanese hearth-style space, reminiscent of a folktale, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Relax and unwind in the warmth of the charcoal fire. The experience begins with watching local women "half-mash" freshly cooked, homemade Akita Komachi rice. Then, you'll experience everything from shaping the kiritanpo to grilling it over the hearth and finishing it off in the sweetfish broth hotpot. Our staff will provide attentive support, so even first-timers can enjoy the experience with ease. Families, friends, and international visitors alike can enjoy this experience. On snowy days, you can even play on the handmade snow slide in front of the store! Surrounded by a warm hearth and smiles, this is a unique winter experience you won't soon forget.
