THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

As a luxury resort for food lovers, THE SHINRA's dining experience is miles above the standard ryokan meal. Drawing from Chiba Prefecture's rich bounty of seafood and produce, Chef Tanaka crafts an innovative seasonal menu of fusion cuisine. While the course format will be familiar to kaiseki aficionados, the dishes themselves are sure to surprise, incorporating far-flung ingredients like cacao and modernist techniques such as espuma and siphon brewing. Standouts like the original bagna cauda, locally sourced sashimi with walnut oil, and Ise lobster with butterbur miso are as visually impressive as they are delicious. An equally creative wine list includes rare treats like smoky-sweet aged sake and tart Georgian white wines perfect for seafood pairing.
