The Secret to the Profound Flavors Woven by Kusatsu Seiro Mushi

Steamed Dishes Starring Carefully Selected Ingredients

The Kusatsu Seiro Mushi we offer places the utmost importance on the freshness and quality of its ingredients. We generously use fresh seasonal vegetables sourced from contract farmers, along with carefully selected meats and seafood. Steaming maximizes the natural sweetness and umami of the ingredients themselves, a difference you'll clearly taste with just one bite. By valuing the inherent flavors of the ingredients without relying on chemical seasonings, we achieve a gentle taste that delights both mind and body. Please also pay attention to our seasonally changing ingredients. We constantly innovate our menu to ensure you can fully enjoy the blessings of each season.

• Colorful Seasonal Vegetable Seiro Mushi: Featuring fresh seasonal vegetables. The natural sweetness of the ingredients truly stands out.
• Premium Pork Belly and Mushroom Seiro Mushi: An exquisite combination of pork belly, known for its sweet fat, and richly aromatic mushrooms.
• Seafood and Vegetable Seiro Mushi: The rich umami of fresh seafood permeates the vegetables, creating a deeply flavorful taste.

A Healthy Yet Deeply Satisfying Cooking Method

Seiro Mushi is an incredibly healthy cooking method as it involves steaming without oil. However, its flavor is far from lacking. In fact, as excess oil drips away and the ingredients' umami becomes concentrated, the true essence of the ingredients is directly conveyed. The plump, steamed meat and fish, and vegetables that retain their crisp texture, will offer a melt-in-your-mouth sensation. It's also gentle on digestion and light on the stomach, making it perfect for late-night meals or when you want to avoid feeling heavy the next day. We highly recommend this Kusatsu Seiro Mushi to those who wish to savor delicious food to their heart's content while also being mindful of their health.
