Experience Good JAPAN at Royal Host

This summer, Royal Host is set to delight diners with a unique culinary offering: the 'Good JAPAN Summer Feast,' featuring exquisite Kagoshima eel paired with premium Japanese wines. Beginning June 18, this dish will spotlight the delights of Japan's summer food traditions, melding fresh local ingredients with the restaurant's signature Western cuisine approach.

The 'Good JAPAN' initiative is dedicated to celebrating the country's bountiful resources by showcasing domestic ingredients and supporting local producers. This year, the highlight is the succulent Kagoshima eel, known for its rich taste and tender texture, nurtured in the region's abundant groundwater and warm climate. The eel will be elegantly paired with a special red wine sauce made from Yamanashi Muscat Bailey A wine, promising a delightful twist on traditional flavors.

Royal Host offers a varied menu designed to redefine how eel is enjoyed this summer. Guests can savor a delectable pilaf featuring Kagoshima eel alongside Angus sirloin steak, or indulge in side dishes like omelettes and canapés, making them perfect for any occasion. Wine lovers will appreciate the selection of refreshing drink pairings, including the zesty Yamanashi Koshu white wine and the vibrant Muscat Bailey A red wine, each available as spritzers that enhance the dining experience. With each dish, diners are invited to explore new flavors while enjoying the relaxed charms of summer dining at Royal Host.
