takayama SAKANA

Fine dining of selected seasonal ingredients and the highest quality of Hida beef can be enjoyed in a peaceful location.

Sakana Restaurant in Takayama serves seasonal cuisine. Most of dishes are made from local products such as highly acclaimed Hida-Beef, also we go into the mountains by ourselves to get wild ingredients. In this diary, I'd like to make some notes of seasonal food and scenes of Hida area.

I dropped in at Takayama town centre to see the Spring festival. The decorated festival floats were  displayed in the streets.

Takayama Spring Festival is held 14 & 15 April every year. You may see karakuri ningyo performances that sophisticated mechanical dolls move and dance on the floats if you go there right time and right place.
