Mantenno Tsujinoya Kaiseki Cuisine

Introduction of the Chef

Mantenno Tsujinoya Chef

Tsuyoshi Tanaka

We offer kaiseki cuisine that incorporates local ingredients, crafted with care, based on the Kaga kaiseki training in Ishikawa Prefecture. The seafood, a blessing of the Sea of Japan, is fresh, and we are committed to using local ingredients such as Kaga vegetables and wild plants grown in the pure and rich waters flowing from the sacred Mount Hakusan, as well as the mountain stream rice cultivated by skilled rice artisans in quality soil. Our long-standing contributions to the culinary world, along with our skills and knowledge, have been recognized, and we received the "Culinary Service Award" from the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare in the 6th year of the Reiwa era for our contributions to the culinary profession.

Mantenno Tsujinoya Breakfast

Breakfast Image

The clear stream nurtured by the sacred peak "Hakusan"
uses locally sourced Koshihikari rice from the mountain village.
The dried fish is a proud delicacy soaked in deep ocean water,
caught in Noto.
This breakfast is filled with the desire to serve dishes that will remain in your heart until just before you leave.

Noto Reconstruction Support Bottle from Sakaba no Remondo

Meals

"Sakaba no Remondo" started selling as a limited product for restaurants in October 2022, exclusively in the Hokkaido, Shinshu, and Hokuriku areas. Maintaining the "pre-sliced lemon method," it was offered in a bottle with a special flavor enhanced by the addition of salt as a secret ingredient, allowing local customers to enjoy this unique "Remondo."

This time, we are offering a design bottle with a support message for the recovery of Noto, the area affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake in the sixth year of Reiwa, as the "Sakaba no Remondo Noto Recovery Support Bottle" at our hotel.

Sake

We offer a variety of local sake from Ishikawa that pairs well with our dishes.
