Here are the details.
About HAMANASHI HOUSEBOAT
HAMANASHI HOUSEBOAT is the only floating restaurant on Lake Kawaguchi. Under the theme “Yamanashi Local Gastronomy & Art,” it works with chefs, cooks, wineries and sake breweries based in the northern foothills of Mount Fuji to communicate the area’s nature, ingredients, climate and culture.
The “Cherry Blossom Festival Special Plan” is offered during the cherry blossom season around Lake Kawaguchi. Guests can enjoy a graceful 1-hour-45-minute cruise while viewing Mount Fuji and the blossoms from the lake, accompanied by a premium bento using seasonal ingredients from the northern Mount Fuji area and seasonal Yamanashi wine and sake.
What’s Included
The food is prepared by chef Kenichi Omori of mieux restaurant. Born in Oshino, Yamanashi Prefecture, he trained as a section chef at Michelin-starred restaurants in France, served as executive chef at several guesthouses, and has also worked in the wedding industry.
The drinks paired with the food include a Pinot & Chardonnay sparkling wine from Shikishima Winery, which is located among scenic valleys and hills on the southern foot of Mount Kayagatake and is committed to making wine exclusively from estate-grown grapes, as well as a pale blush rosé scheduled for early-April release from 7c | seven cedars winery, established in Fujikawaguchiko in summer 2022.
Sasaichi Brewery’s spring-limited sake “Sasaichi Haru Junmai Ginjo Usunigori” will also be served.
