This is sacred land to the indigenous Ainu and is renowned for its clear and fresh water. The water nurtures not only fresh seafood but also helps in the cultivation of rice, fruit, and vegetables. This is a gastronomy experience dedicated to the guests, where one can taste the essence of Niseko. Enjoy the blessings of the Kamuy - gods of Ainu - during a lunch that fuses French and Japanese cuisine using delicious fresh local ingredients.
Accompanying this special lunch is a selection of local sake and wine, all of which perfectly reflect de terrior of Niseko.

Niseko is known for its exciting art scene and its amazing architectural designs. Its uniqueness stems from the delicate and serene traditional Japanese style as well as the spiritual beliefs of the Ainu people.
