Cuisine

Seasonal kaiseki from Yumoto's kitchen — seafood from Sagami Bay and mountain vegetables from Hakone, composed into a monthly changing menu.

DINING

Seasonal kaiseki from Yumoto's kitchen, month by month.

Fish from Sagami Bay, dried seafood from Odawara, wild greens from the Hakone highlands. Our cook knows the local larder deeply and builds a fresh monthly kaiseki from it.

SOURCING

Our ingredient philosophy

Odawara fishing port is 30 minutes away. We source fresh Sagami Bay catch that morning, directly from the harbour. Odawara's famous kamaboko and dried fish come from craftsmen we've trusted for years.

Mountain produce is delivered from farms on the western slopes of Hakone. We cook with dashi from konbu and katsuobushi, not artificial flavourings — that's the foundation of our kitchen.
