As the vibrant autumn season approaches, the Lafore Resort Shuzenji located in the picturesque Izu region of Japan invites you to pamper your palate with its exclusive dining experience. From September 1 to November 30, 2025, the restaurant 'Dining FUJI' will present a unique dinner course named 'KIWAMI', where each dish beautifully incorporates the rich bounty of autumn fruits.

Indulging in Seasonal Excellence

Autumn is a time when many fruits reach their peak, and this exquisite dining course is designed to showcase their succulent flavors. Delight your taste buds with an array of ingredients, such as refreshing pears and luscious figs, carefully selected to enhance each dish's aroma, sweetness, and acidity.

The course begins with an enticing assortment of five appetizers, featuring:

For the main dish, enjoy a delightful steamed Australian beef sirloin paired with fried autumn eggplant, drizzled with a balanced ‘Vins Rouge’ sauce made from red wine and local grapes that perfectly complements this savored meat. And as a sweet finishing touch, relish the 'Charlotte Poire,' a pear-based dessert that encapsulates the spirit of autumn until the last bite.
