Ryotei Susaki

This traditional ryotei is one of the oldest ones in all of Gifu Prefecture, founded in the late Edo period, with at least 200 years of history. Ryotei Susaki is also designated as one of Takayama City’s Cultural Properties. Everything about the architecture of the ryotei to the gentle souls that maintain it gives off a culturally-rich atmosphere. Ryotei Susaki is also known to be the only place in the whole country to serve the Sowa-ryu Honzen cuisine with over 30 dishes in the course, but has since been cut down to only a few. This is a type of traditional cuisine that was created in the Edo period and has been preserved at Ryotei Susaki ever since. Full of seasonal dishes that constantly change throughout the year, look out for traditional and formal flavors that include ingredients like beef, mountain-picked vegetables, and river-caught seafood from Hida. The dining experience at Ryotei Susaki is one not to be missed.
