Hida Beef Dinner

Highlights:

• Taste one of Japan’s finest regional specialities - Hida Beef
• Dine in a traditional kominka setting
• Interactive, table-side cooking experience

Takayama’s culinary heritage takes centre stage in this refined dining experience focused on one of Japan’s most prized regional specialities. Hida-Gyu beef, sourced from black-haired Japanese cattle raised in Gifu Prefecture, is celebrated for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and depth of flavour, and is considered among the finest beef in the country.

The meal is enjoyed in a welcoming, family-run restaurant set within a beautifully renovated kominka, a traditional wooden Japanese home that offers an authentic sense of history and place. The carefully prepared menu features premium Hida-Gyu served with seasonal vegetables, appetisers, rice, and dessert. In keeping with local custom, you will cook the beef yourself at the table, allowing you to enjoy it exactly as you prefer.

A vegetarian option is available, and the experience may be enhanced with a selection of locally produced Hida sake, perfectly matched to the richness of the beef. Raise a glass, say Kanpai!, and savour the flavours and hospitality of rural Japan.
