Japan, a country surrounded by the sea with many mountains and distinct four seasons The mild climate of Manazuru, Sagami, Suruga, Mishima, Numazu, and Ashigara
「Offering the nourishing natural flavor of the seasonal produce provided by the blessed natural environment, our cuisine is based on carefully extracted stock and cooked with the delicate traditional Japanese techniques with a flare of creativity that is also present in our plating.” This is the core value reflected in Gen’s cuisine.

We value flavors woven by organic vegetables and natural seasonings not only for safety reasons, but also because we believe that they are completely different from factory processed food and chemical seasonings.

Cuisine at Gen is based on ideas that are both subtle and bold, with nourishing flavors deriving from natural ingredients. We hope that you enjoy our dishes with a sense of surprise. We have also prepared organically based beverages, which we hope that you will enjoy with our dishes that highlight the produce itself.

To ensure all meals delivered to the guest rooms are freshly cooked and fried, our kitchen is located on the guest room floor. We make an effort so that everything is offered fresh, and that what should be served warm remains warm and what should be served cold remains cold.

We have carefully selected Japanese rice wine from all parts of Japan with focus on local Kanagawa breweries. These are wines made by serious-minded brewers that carefully prepare high quality rice wine, and are known for their thorough screening of rice, with some growing their own rice.
We have avoided wines with strong features, taste, or fragrance that might cancel out the presence of dashi and the ingredient. Our selection focuses mainly on pure and dry ginjo and dai-ginjo wines with little unpleasant aftertaste.

Recently, domestic wineries have been adjusting to the changing climate and evolving dramatically in terms of techniques in production control.
Gen’s wine selection focuses on domestic wines that complement Kaiseki cuisine, with emphasis on white wines made in stainless-steel barrels that has clean and pure aftertaste and with no flavor from the barrel.
As for the variety of the grapes, our lineup focuses on Chardonnay, Koshu, and Sauvignon Blanc with clean aftertaste.

Mariage between sparkling wine with minerality and delicateness and Kaiseki cuisine will open you up to a who new world different from that of Japanese rice wine.
Selection of sparkling wine at Gen focuses on blanc de blancs wines that are made using a single variety of grape, with aftertaste that features both solid minerality and delicateness. We also select high quality vintage bottles.
Compatibility between blanc de blancs made 100% with Chardonnay grapes and Kaiseki cuisine is exquisite.
We recommend sparkling wine not only as an aperitif but also to drink together with the meal, to enjoy its marriage with Kaiseki cuisine.

We have also selected other drinks that complement Kaiseki cuisine, including alcoholic beverages such as beer, shochu, plum wine, and domestic whiskey. In addition, we offer a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages and soft drinks including the “ROYAL BLUE TEA,” which is the world’s first sophisticated tea that can be enjoyed like wine, 100% fruit juices, and locally produced ciders.
