The glamping resort "HOSHINOYA Fuji" is popular for offering luxurious glamping amidst great nature.
From September 14 to November 17, 2021, the "Glamorous Moonlight Dinner" will be offered to spend long autumn nights elegantly.
The wine featured in this dinner is from "Mie Ikeno", a winery located at the foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains.
Here is an introduction to what this experience entails.
A Dinner Featuring Abundant Autumn Delicacies, Enjoyed on the Cabin Terrace
The event planned this time is the "Glamorous Moonlight Dinner."
It is a truly unique concept, offered exclusively on nights between the half moon and the full moon during the period.
The setting for dinner is the cabin's terrace living room, which commands spectacular views of Lake Kawaguchi illuminated by the moonlight.
Sitting on the spacious sofa in the terrace living room, you can savor dinner at your leisure, unwind, and spend a deeply luxurious time taking in the breathtaking panorama unfolding before your eyes throughout the long autumn night to your heart's content.
A Special Dinner to Fully Enjoy Autumn Flavors
Served at the "Glamorous Moonlight Dinner" is a course meal packed with the tastes of autumn.
The menu is said to have been conceived from the custom of offering autumn harvests such as rice and potatoes to the mid-autumn harvest moon to express gratitude for a bountiful harvest.
The main course is a hearty takikomi gohan (seasoned mixed rice) cooked in a Dutch oven.
First, you enjoy the seasoned rice cooked with matsutake mushrooms, chestnuts, ginkgo nuts, and other seasonal ingredients alongside roast beef, and afterwards, piping hot broth heated with a burner is poured over it to savor as dashi chazuke.
At HOSHINOYA Fuji, a Glamping Master provides support, so even those unaccustomed to handling outdoor cooking equipment can relax with peace of mind.
You can thoroughly relish the flavors of autumn in glamping style.
Savoring Mie Ikeno Wine
At the "Glamorous Moonlight Dinner," wine from "Mie Ikeno," a winery located at the foot of the Yatsugatake Mountains, is served.
The label selected by the sommelier of HOSHINOYA Fuji is "Tsukika Chardonnay 2018".
The wine's subtle oak notes, rich fruit flavors, and full-bodied profile are said to create a marriage that complements the aromas and delicate flavors of each ingredient.
Because "Tsukika Chardonnay 2018" is a special wine brewed exclusively with Chardonnay harvested at midnight when the moonlight faintly illuminates the vineyard, you can experience a "marriage of wine and food connected to the moon."
An Unforgettable Memory on an Autumn Night
The "Glamorous Moonlight Dinner" is limited to nights from the half moon to the full moon between September 14 and November 17.
It is offered from 18:00, limited to 1 group per day (2 guests only). (Guests must be at least 20 years old)
This dinner is undoubtedly the pinnacle of luxury that can only be experienced at HOSHINOYA Fuji.
