The Secret to Delicious Kusatsu Steamed Delights and Pairings that Satisfy All Five Senses

The reason our Kusatsu Steamed Delights are so beloved is our thorough dedication to ingredients and a cooking method that maximizes their quality. We carefully select seasonal vegetables and fresh seafood from across Japan, preparing each one with great care. Then, by slowly steaming them in our special steamer, we condense the natural sweetness and umami of each ingredient, creating an astonishingly rich flavor.

Kusatsu Steamed Delights Woven from Carefully Selected Ingredients

• Seasonal Local Vegetables: Juicy vegetables grown in Shiga Prefecture have their sweetness further enhanced by steaming. We offer a selection of the most delicious seasonal vegetables.
• Fresh Seafood: Freshness is key for seafood. Our steamed dishes generously use seafood freshly sourced on the day. Savor the umami overflowing from the plump flesh.
• Carefully Selected Meats: Pork and chicken, with their concentrated lean meat flavor, are also perfect for steaming. Excess fat is removed, allowing you to enjoy a light yet deep flavor.

The harmony created by these ingredients can truly be called an art of food. Furthermore, steamed dishes pair exceptionally well with various alcoholic beverages. Especially, pairing with Kusatsu sake further accentuates their exquisite flavors.

From crisp, dry varieties to fruity and fragrant ones, and junmai-shu where the rich umami of rice is distinctly felt, we offer recommendations tailored to your preferences from our extensive lineup.

For example, a sharp Junmai Ginjo sake with steamed white fish. A rich-flavored Junmai sake for steamed dishes that highlight the sweetness of vegetables. By selecting sake to match each dish, the depth of flavor that unfolds in your mouth becomes infinite. If you're unsure which sake to choose, please feel free to ask our staff. We'll suggest the perfect bottle for your taste.
