The First Whisper of Spring in Nakatsugawa

We are pleased to announce the first arrival of Fuki-no-tō (butterbur sprouts), Nokanzo (daylily shoots), and the eagerly awaited Seto Bamboo Shoots.

Greetings

murmur of a clear stream. The scent of fresh green leaves. The first cry of the summer bird. — The mountain hamlet of Nakatsugawa Gifu, is now alive with the breath of early summer.

On Saturday, May 16th, at the first light of dawn, the season opens for wild ayu fishing on the Tsukechigawa River. The river's finest catch makes its way to our kitchen.

Misai Garten Furukawa is a warm, intimate Japanese restaurant lovingly run by a proprietress who cherishes cats and wildflowers.

Nestled in a tranquil village rich with nature, where gentle breezes pass through and brilliant sunlight filters through the canopy. With Mt. Ena visible to the southeast, as you listen to the birds' melodious songs, the hustle and bustle of daily life will surely feel like a distant dream. We lovingly gather the bounties of Japan's beautiful mountains and rivers through each season, along with the soft rain and whispering wind, carefully preparing each ingredient with meticulous care, and artfully presenting them on each plate like patterns on vibrant sarasa fabric. As a chef, I feel deeply grateful for this profound happiness. Please enjoy our authentic Japanese cuisine with all five senses - the passionate creation of a devoted craftsman.
