The appeal of local cuisine spreads through word of mouth!
| HotelBank, a hotel-focused media site launched under the concept of "adding new value from dormant data," extracted guest posts about local cuisine at dinner over the past 24 months. Among them, 36 accommodations nationwide received a certain number of mentions, and among them," KAMENOI HOTEL TAZAWAKO" was introduced as the second most mentioned hotel! |
 |
| According to the results, evaluations of local cuisine are concentrated in 'Tohoku' and 'Iya,' with 12 Tohoku facilities ranking in the top 20 mentions in the rankings. A distinctive feature is that evaluations are concentrated in Hot springs areas along the mountains and by the sea. |
|
|
| Since May 2021, our hotel has changed its dinner service from a Japanese kaiseki style to a buffet called "A Delicious Buffet Featuring Akita's Local Ingredients." |
| This initiative was based on customer needs and current trends, but our culinary concept was driven by a desire to create something unique that other hotels don't have. We focused on creating menus that allow guests to experience local food culture firsthand. |
|
|
| In spring, they offer dishes featuring bamboo shoots and a uniquely bitter butterbur miso paste, as well as kiritanpo dipping sauces made with seasonal wild vegetables and local specialties. For game dishes, you can enjoy tenderly prepared bear meat in a hot pot. |
|
|
| The buffet venue is also laid out to evoke the great nature of the Tazawako highlands, making use of the wood grain to match the culinary concept. The atmosphere of the venue makes local cuisine feel more accessible. |
| Kiritanpo is said to have originated in the northern part of the prefecture, Kazuno-shi, and for tourists visiting here, it has become a representative local dish of Akita Prefecture. There are still many local dishes from Akita, so I'd like to introduce them little by little according to the season. Please look forward to it! |
