Dinner

The winter months, when the air fills with steam from the onsen, are the time to enjoy both onsen and the rich flavors of the season.

Locally harvested ingredients, local recipes, eaten locally.
With this course, we have prepared a monthly course of seasonal, Nagato-sourced ingredients with a “Philosophy of Sando Cuisine,” meaning to eat locally-sourced ingredients, prepared with local methods, in the area from which they are sourced.

Each day, we work to prepare the best dining experience for our guests, and our chefs pour their hearts into each dish. We invite you to enjoy this culinary hospitality, presented by our head chef.

*This dinner plan is exclusive to guests staying in rooms with private outdoor baths.
