Experience the Aromas of Autumn at 'Sazanami'

Tokyo's Takeshiba district is set to embrace the delightful tastes of autumn through an exclusive menu crafted by the esteemed Chef Tatsuya Matsushima, who oversees culinary creations for the luxurious hotel brand 'Ishinoya' at Izu Nagaoka and Atami. From September 1, 2026, guests at the Japanese restaurant 'Sazanami' inside the Bayside Hotel 'Azur Takeshiba' will be treated to a menu that reflects the mastery of traditional Japanese cuisine while highlighting the season's bountiful offerings.

A Celebration of Seasonal Ingredients

This autumn menu is built around the theme of experiencing autumn through all five senses. Chef Matsushima has meticulously selected seasonal ingredients that awaken not only taste but also the senses of sight, smell, and texture. Notably, the menu includes rare ingredients from Shizuoka Prefecture, such as the prized 'Fujisan Salmon' and 'Aburabouz,' locally referred to as ‘Oshitsuke,’ both of which boast rich flavors and textures, contributing to the enchanting autumn dining experience.

Matsushima has been instrumental in guiding the chefs at 'Sazanami,' sharing his extensive knowledge ranging from menu design to ingredient selection, cooking techniques, and presentation. His experience ensures that every dish tells a story through the harmony of flavors, colors, and aromas, inviting guests to savor each bite deeply.

Two Ways to Enjoy the Flavors of Autumn

Guests can choose between two dining options: the 'Autumn Private Kaiseki Plan' and the 'Autumn Omotenashi Box Meal.' Each offers a unique way to indulge in the seasonal menu. The 'Autumn Private Kaiseki Plan' features two options—'Miyabi' and 'Sazanami'—allowing diners to enjoy a leisurely meal consisting of various traditional dishes, showcasing the essence of autumn's ingredients.

On the other hand, the 'Autumn Omotenashi Box Meal,' available at a more accessible price, visually tempts diners with an artfully arranged box that highlights the seasonal flavors.
