Many thanks for choosing SAKANA - from Belgium
This couple from Belgium enjoyed Hida-beef Shabu-shabu at the bar counter.
We're pleased that they liked our Shabu-shabu course.
If only they contacted us few days before, we could prepare Omakase course (tasting course) for them to find the best seasonal dishes of SAKANA.
On this day, we had the other customer having Shabu-shabu, so that we managed to spare the ingredients for them who contacted us 6 hours before their booking time.
If you are planning to come to SAKANA, please, please make reservation in advance. Reservation on the day and sudden turn up is not always lucky. We might have taken day off to go out to the mountians and fields to get seasonal ingredients in such case, there will be nobody to look after you at the Retaurant.

Spring in Takayama Town Centre
I saw cherry blossoms everywhere as I was walking in Takayama Town centre.

Blossoming!
Late Spring has arrived at Takayama. Many kinds of trees started to bloom at SAKANA's premise.
These photos were taken few days ago. Now the weeping cherry out side the window is in half bloom, will be full in few days.
Common cherry has already begun to fall, and young leaves will take turn.
We do not have flashy flowers in the garden but the flowers on those trees are humble and solemn.

Spring green salad
SAKANA's spring salad is made of various wild greens freshly picked up by us. (ingredients are subject to change, depends on what we can get from the fields and mountains) We serve this with Ume-dressing. The fresh sourness of the dressing matches to the unique flaovour of each wild green.
