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.

Hunting season has begun from November 15th however this year, it is not possible to hunt wild bow in Gifu due to the effects of Pig disease.

Because of this situation, we decided to prepare some wild venison instead for those who love game dishes.
