DINING
Cuisine Pursuing Authenticity
Iki Island, famous as the “Treasure Chest of the Genkai Sea,” is surrounded by abundant nature and is so blessed with a wealth of ingredients that it is referred to as an island capable of self-sufficiency.
With gratitude for nature’s bounty, we spare no effort in carefully preparing dishes that highlight the flavors of the ingredients. You can savor these dishes through our traditional Japanese kaiseki courses and teppanyaki grill.
As you gaze out at the ever-changing tranquil seascape, please relish the unique cuisine of Iki Island accompanied by Iki shochu and local sake.
