Yukimoto

Nagano Prefecture contains some of the most stunning stretches of the Japanese Alps — a place of crisp mountain air and crystal-clear streams. The food which is born from this region shares this same clean freshness. At Yukimoto, you can sample the best that the area has to offer. This means wild fish, wild vegetables, and wild game gathered from the mountains and forests. The chefs prepare the dishes with cuts which highlight the best parts of these ingredients to unlock their delicious umami flavors. Duck, badger, boar, and bear all find their way into the pantry of Yukimoto. Wild vegetables such as purple cabbage provide a touch of color and variety, and some acidic flavors to cut through the savory juices of the meat. Not only the menu changes seasonally, but also the decor. There’s also a well-manicured garden surrounding the premises — an elegant, contemporary cedar wood house — which is on view through the large floor to ceiling windows.
