Sakakibara Onsen, known as one of Japan's top three hot springs, Yumoto Sakakibarakan

掲載日:2013.06.05

We covered the Sakakibara Onsen hot spring Sakakibarakan! The famous Sakakibara Onsen, which was mentioned in Sei Shonagon's ``The Pillow Book'' as ``Nichiguri no Yu,'' is known as one of Japan's top three hot springs. This time, we will mainly introduce dishes that will be available from July, as well as new accommodation plans.

I came to Yumoto Sakakibarakan. Yumoto Sakakibarakan is the only ryokan in Sakakibara Onsen that has a hot spring source within its premises. This time, I participated in the trial production of the dish "Fugetsu: Hometown Kaiseki with the theme of beauty and health - Suzukaze Nanakuri, the land of hot springs", which will be offered from July.

The photo shows the exterior. The interior was well maintained and gave a very good impression. The entrance to the building was beautifully decorated with strips of paper for July.

We received the food menu provided by Fuzuki (July). At Yumoto Sakakibarakan, we are working on local production for local consumption using ingredients from Mie Prefecture. Please note that the menu may differ depending on the plan, so please contact Yumoto Sakakibarakan for details. http://www.yumoto-sakaki.co.jp

First of all, after the aperitif, the appetizers are kakiage of vegetables, corn suribashi, eggplant dengaku, paprika, and sweet shishito peppers. Brightly colored vegetables were lined up on cool bowls ready for summer. You can enjoy not only the taste but also the appearance.

This is mukozuke sashimi (the photo is for 2 people). Flower petals are also added to the Ise lobster making and it looks beautiful! The fish is fresh and the more you bite into it, the more sweet it becomes. The green seaweed shown above in the photo had a chewy texture and was a nice accent. I ate it with grated wasabi, but it wasn't too spicy and went well with the sashimi.

Next is Matsusaka beef, a meat dish, with edamame majo in the stew bowl! Matsusaka beef sirloin slices and loin slices, domestic Japanese black beef fillet teppanyaki (pictured is for 2 people). After grilling it on the iron plate, it's so soft that you can eat it without chewing when you put it in your mouth!

Next up is the special dish, hot spring steamed vegetables. This is what impresses me the most. We use hot water from the famous Sakakibara Onsen to steam 10 kinds of colorful seasonal vegetables. It's sweeter and more delicious than the vegetables you usually eat! The natural sweetness of the vegetables really came out. The seasoning salt used is ``Pearl Salt'' made from Okushima seawater.
This was followed by pot-cooked rice and lobster miso soup.

The fruits will be blueberry sorbet, kudzu mochi, and Delaware. In the photo, the kudzu mochi bowl was decorated with konpei sugar, which was very cute. Even at the end, you can satisfy your sweet tooth (of course, it tastes delicious too).

At the end...take a break with specially selected tea. You can drink Ise GreenTea blend with deep steamed tea, kabusetea, karigane hojicha, brown rice tea, and herbs.

Introducing the most important hot springs. Sakakibara Onsen ranks 46th in terms of hot spring quality out of about 3,100 hot spring resorts nationwide, selected by travel agency employees and other "travel professionals"! The hot water is gentle on the skin and feels like a beauty serum, with an exquisite balance of hot spring ingredients. Yumoto Sakakibarakan is the only Sakakibara Onsen that has a hot spring source within the facility.

Starting in June, Yumoto Sakakibarakan is offering a plan where you can experience the power of hot springs.

Eating delicious food and soaking in the famous hot springs will soothe your daily fatigue. Please come and visit us.

It's a souvenir. I bought ``Sakakibara Danuki'' (manju). It's a little hard to tell in the photo, but it has the cute shape of a raccoon. The packaging also has a fun look of a raccoon in a hot spring.
