Discover Autumn Delights at Hotel Season Nichinan

As summer winds down and the autumn breeze blows in, there's no better way to embrace the season than to indulge in the exquisite tastes of Ise lobster. Nestled in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, Hotel Season Nichinan, run by Onko Chishin Co., Ltd., is set to launch its special "Autumn Flavor × Ise Lobster Luxury Kaiseki Plan" starting from July 2, 2026. This delectable plan will be available for reservation until November 20, 2026, and will allow guests to savor the best of the Ise lobster harvest.

A Taste of Nichinan's Ise Lobster

Known for its rich culinary history, Nichinan is particularly famous for its succulent Ise lobster. The confluence of the Kuroshio Current and the nutrient-rich waters of Hyuga-nada provides an ideal breeding ground for this sought-after delicacy. Harvested from the rocky reefs, the Ise lobster from Nichinan boasts a firm texture and a sweet, rich flavor. Every September, the reopening of the Ise lobster fishing season is celebrated with the annual "Nichinan Coast Ise Lobster Festival," where local restaurants showcase seasonal dishes featuring this seafood gem.

What to Expect from the Luxury Kaiseki Plan

The Autumn Flavor × Ise Lobster Luxury Kaiseki Plan includes a menu filled with the freshest Ise lobster prepared in various exquisite forms. Guests can look forward to dishes such as "Ise Lobster Sashimi" and "Miso Soup with Lobster Head," crafted from lobster caught in Nichinan's waters. Each dish is designed to enhance the natural sweetness and umami flavor of the lobster, creating a culinary experience that’s truly special. While dining, guests can enjoy views of the serene Hirotagawa River, which flows into the Pacific Ocean, offering a picturesque backdrop for this seasonal feast.
