Indulge yourself in the finer things and enjoy the taste of these local delights!

The bread is made from wheat from Biei. Served on a log and fir branches, this first course is put on quite an appropriate pedestal.
A delectable potato roll
20 different vegetables on a plate, all from Biei. What an intricate dish! The lemon jam on the side complimented each vegetable in a distinct way.
Would this Biei dish really be complete without something lavender?
The tastiest locally-grown potatoes served with fried, crispy onions.
This broccoli in broccoli puree is not one bit ‘too much’ broccoli
Loved the meadow-like presentation of this ratatouille. The Chinese chive on top is a great Asian twist on a French classic.
Ratatouille topped with savory stewed onion.
Can you believe tomatoes were the dessert?
This is a tomato compote in a nice light syrup. Chilled and topped with mint, it was almost like having a sorbet!
Gooseberry with chocolate covered beans. They almost have the consistency of raisins. Not too sweet, but definitely not bland.
