About the cuisine at Tabitei Hanzuiryo

Hansuirou is also famous for its cuisine, with Ishihara Hitoshi, owner of Kyoto's three-star Michelin restaurant "Mizai," serving as the second-generation executive chef, and Honda Koichi, the current fourth-generation executive chef, having served under three previous chefs and inheriting the flavors of Hansuirou as a successor who knows all the flavors. The restaurant offers authentic kaiseki cuisine, with attention paid to every detail, including the selection of tableware and presentation, incorporating seasonal flavors from Unzen, surrounded by nature, and Nagasaki, surrounded by sea and mountains, in its monthly changing menu.

Furthermore, Hanzuiryo has been recognized for its luxurious hospitality, receiving the highest rating of five stars for accommodation and one star for cuisine in the Michelin Guide Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki 2019 Special Edition. Hanzuiryo is the second hotel in Japan to receive both awards in the facilities and cuisine categories. In the Michelin Guide Hotel Selection announced in July 2024, Hanzuiryo was introduced as a 1 Michelin Key hotel, the first in Asia.

About the Winter-only "Tiger Fugu Kaiseki Plan"

Tiger pufferfish from Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is considered the highest quality among all tiger pufferfish. In the middle of the Meiji era, Hirobumi Ito, the first Prime Minister of Japan, lifted the ban on eating pufferfish in 1888, and it is said that this led to its spread throughout the country.

This special plan allows you to fully enjoy tiger fugu, known as the king of winter delicacies, with beautifully presented, clear sashimi, fugu hotpot packed with the delicious flavor of fugu, fragrant rice porridge, milt, and fried fugu.

Enjoy the "Tiger Blowfish Kaiseki Plan" brought to you by Tabitei Hanzuiryo's craftsmanship and exquisite hospitality.
