HOSHINOYA Fuji, Japan’s first glamping resort, has introduced a limited-time iteration of its “Gastronomic Wild” dinner course. Available from August 6 to December 14, 2026, the menu captures the transition from the late vibrancy of summer to the deep harvests of autumn, utilizing ingredients sourced directly from the foothills of Mount Fuji.
A Seasonal Feast Between Summer and Autumn
The menu utilizes the specific bounty of the Yamanashi region, featuring large trout, persimmons, various forest mushrooms, and gibier (wild game). An early highlight of the course is a tartare of large trout and persimmon, served alongside a warm Dutch baby pancake. The dish is designed to reflect the shifting colors of the forest as the season progresses.
Wild Game and Regional Ingredients
The course continues with a dobin-mushi (soup steamed in a traditional iron teapot), which blends a gibier consommé with four varieties of mushrooms, including truffles. For the main course, guests are served wagyu and venison grilled over an open flame. The meat is infused with a smoky, wild aroma by using pine needles and cypress during the grilling process. Accompanying the meats are seasonal vegetables such as eggplant and lotus root, prepared in the hoba-yaki style, where ingredients are grilled over a magnolia leaf.
Immersive Dining in a Red Pine Forest
Dinner is served in an open-air dining area set within a red pine forest, allowing guests to remain connected to the natural environment throughout the meal. To enhance the regional flavors, a sommelier-selected wine pairing featuring three local Yamanashi wines is available. The meal concludes with a “Baba au Raisin,” a traditional pastry soaked in syrup and flavored with Hakushu whisky and local grapes, served under a glass dome to capture the aromatic essence of the fruit.
