Shimonoseki became a central hub for whale distribution and consumption, flourishing greatly. Since long ago, whale cuisine has been cherished in Shimonoseki.

[Plan Details] [A New Sensation Fugu Kaiseki Woven by Sister City Bonds] Since the Meiji era, Shimonoseki and Busan, South Korea, have been connected by the Kanmon ferry, serving as a bridge for Japan-Korea exchange for many years. Drawing on the deep bonds formed since their sister city partnership in 1976, we present Sumire's exclusive "Korean-Inspired Creative Course of Grilled Natural Blowfish and Stone-Cooked Blowfish Bibimbap," a vibrant fusion of both cities' culinary cultures. Enjoy an all-blowfish experience from dinner to breakfast, with a breakfast lineup full of blowfish dishes! The Allure of Dinner: "Korean-Inspired Creative Kaiseki with Natural True Fugu BBQ and Stone-Grilled Fugu Bibimbap" 1. Fugu Chanja (Spicy Pickled Fugu) A unique appetizer combining Shimonoseki's specialty blowfish with Korea's traditional chanja, exclusively crafted by our establishment. 2. Grilled Natural True Fugu in BBQ Style A new way to enjoy blowfish, inspired by Busan's yakiniku culture. Savor it with two flavors: the rich "Garlic Soy Marinade" and the refreshing "Setouchi Lemon Sauce." 3. Stone-Grilled Fugu Bibimbap A special bibimbap finished with blowfish broth. The hot stone pot creates a fragrant crust, and mixing it with the special gochujang completes this blissful main dish. 4. Fugu Sashimi Enjoy authentic blowfish sashimi (about 9 slices), meticulously prepared slice by slice with expert skill; though served on a small plate, it delivers a truly satisfying taste. "Who knew blowfish could be enjoyed like this?" A surprising and moving experience where tradition and innovation intersect.

[Plan Details] This is a one-night, two-meal plan that includes a dinner hot pot featuring Choshu Chicken and natural yam, specialties of Yamaguchi Prefecture. \\ \\ Our Commitment to the Natural Yam We Use \\ \\ The natural yam we serve is carefully cultivated by dedicated farmers in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Grating it with the skin creates a strong stickiness and highlights its rich, wild, and profound flavor. Compared to regular Chinese yam, it contains about twice the polyphenols for beauty and health, and about three times the resistant starch for improving gut health. Rich in minerals, it is truly a "superfood." Just one bite lets you savor the rich flavors of the land! \\ What is Choshu Chicken...? // It is primarily produced near Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and is raised with feed mixed with five types of herbs.
