Kaiseki no Sato Kira (懐石の里 煌)| High-End Japanese Restaurant | Hakodate

If you want to enjoy delicious Japanese dishes at a perfect location in Hakodate, I recommend "Kaiseki no Sato Kira (懐石の里 煌)", an high-end Japanese restaurant located halfway up Mt. Hakodate.

From this sukeya style of building (数寄屋造り): a style of a tea-ceremony arbor,  we can enjoy the treat view of Hakodate city.

Let's enter it!

Today I booked a Japanese tatami room with tables for my tout guests. Looks very gorgeous, doesn't it?

Are you ready? It's show time!!

■Appetizer: Sesame Tofu
Everybody was impressed with their dish from scratch!! Hahaha!

Crab meat and wasabi are on the special tofu!

This aperitif made us more thirsty, and order a bottle of sake! Hahaha!

■Shrimp Dumpling in the Soup
How delicate the taste is!

The dish here is covered with the hand-written menu like this↓

■Toro (Tuna) and Yuba (Bean Curds)
This tuna was caught between Hokkaido and Honshu, a main island of Japan. This is one of the best tuna so far!

Next...........

■Deep-Fried Ainame Fish
Ainae, fat greenling, is local fish. I sometimes cook this fish, but have never eaten such a delicious dish! Is this the same fish? Hahaha! I really respect the cook!!

■Simmered Potato Dumpling with Starchy Sauce
This is the restaurant's specialty! Can I have another helping?

Voila!
■King Crab Steak
How huge it is!!

We were so excited in front of the fat crab cactus!!!

First we ate it as it is!

Next put it on the shrimp cracker!! Yummy x 2!!! I'm sure we were in the heaven!!!

Last but not least, we enjoyed rice and soup with water shield! I love the gelatin-like part!!

We had a wonderful time!!

This dessert was also recommendable!

We concentrated on the great dishes, but when we looked outside...............

Wow!

We enjoyed super-delicious dishes and Michelin three star scenery at the same time at this restaurant!
