Japanese Cuisine Showcasing the Flavors of Hokkaido
Located about a 4-minute walk from JR Kotoni Station, "Nihon Ryouri Kibito" is a Japanese restaurant run by a local chef with over 15 years of experience in Hokkaido’s hotels and restaurants. The kaiseki meals are crafted using an abundance of Hokkaido-sourced ingredients, with seasonal fish and vegetables forming the core of the menu. Fresh fish is selected at the market each day, and vegetables are delivered directly from Furano. The chef carefully considers the best pairings and preparation methods to highlight each ingredient's flavor on any given day. The broth, made with Rishiri kelp, bonito flakes, and skipjack tuna, brings out a rich aroma and depth of taste—especially in the chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), which is a standout dish.
Carefully Chosen Sake Curated by Knowledgeable Retailers
The owner sources a curated selection of local sake from a trusted liquor shop, featuring brews from across Japan. Each sake is chosen to pair well with the restaurant’s carefully crafted Japanese cuisine. The lineup includes everything from crisp and refreshing varieties to bold, dry flavors and limited seasonal offerings. Guests are encouraged to ask for recommendations to find the perfect match for their meal.
Savor the Season at Monthly Culinary Events
A monthly dining event features a full-course meal crafted entirely with seasonal ingredients, from appetizers to the main course. Guests can enjoy luxurious dishes that showcase the best of each season—such as asparagus in spring, sweetfish in summer, mushrooms in autumn, and kinki (channel rockfish) in winter. One of the highlights is the option to request specific ingredients in advance, allowing for a more personalized dining experience.
