THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

The main dining room is a pleasing blend of clean modern lines and old-fashioned touches full of figurative and literal warmth. An iron stove burns aromatic zelkova and other local wood, beating back any hint of a chill from the garden-view window occupying the opposite wall. A massive hearth sits in the center of the floor, ideal for cooking meat and fish on skewers in traditional tateyaki style. Simple black wood tables and low grey upholstered chairs keep focus on the vibrant beauty of the food while providing a subtle contrast to the snowscape of the winter garden. Private rooms are also available for a more intimate experience.
