Why we offer “Winter Dutch Oven Dinner”
HOSHINOYA Fuji offers wild game caught by top-class local hunters. What is characteristic of wild game processed with appropriate technology and speed is that it has little odor specific to animals. The damage to agriculture and forestry due to the rapid increase in the deer and boar populations is a serious nationwide problem, and hunting and consumption are promoted even in Yamanashi Prefecture as a means to reduce their number. HOSHINOYA Fuji is developing cuisine by proposing new cooking methods and flavors of game meat, with the desire to promote its spread and contribute to the local community.
1. Experience “staying warm in forest during winter” inspired by the lifestyle of hunters
The foot of Mount Fuji is a severely cold region during winter. However, as their hunting becomes more serious, hunters, who spend a long time in the forest, come up with ways to warm themselves while they hunt.
Therefore, an aperitif hour is prepared during this dinner through which guests can enjoy hunter hot-pot cuisine around the bonfire, inspired by the lifestyle of hunters. Hunter hot-pots are dishes which warm the body, made by boiling seasonal vegetables in a rich stock from game meat. Around the bonfire, guests can experience smoking venison with straw, that will be served as a main dish, and enjoy dessert after the meal.
Example of dinner menu
Aperitif hour: A welcoming hunter hot-pot dish around the bonfire which warms the body
Appetizer: Grilled cheese fondue with whiskey
Main dish: Grilled straw-smoked venison and winter vegetables with wine sauce
Meal: Delicious venison and dried mushrooms cooked with rice
Dessert: Dried and winter fruits cooked in wine
2. Enjoy easy-to-eat winter game
Deer and boars during winter are fed mainly with bark and chaff, which reduces their fat. They are recommended for game meat first-timers because they are low-fat, healthy, and easy to eat, with few peculiarities. In addition, the low temperature allows the temperature of the game meat to be lowered rapidly, allowing guests to enjoy game meat of a higher quality. At this dinner, guests can savor the fine winter game meat caught by experienced hunters.
3. Enjoy cuisine with glamping masters at an outdoor restaurant with kotatsu warmers in a winter forest
This dinner is served in the Forest Kitchen, an outdoor restaurant in a forest at an altitude of about 900m. The temperature in the forest at winter sometimes gets below the freezing point, but the tables are exchanged with kotatsu warmers during winter only at the Forest Kitchen, creating an environment where guests can spend their time comfortably.
In addition, the cuisine is a hands-on course meal that utilizes outdoor equipment such as Dutch ovens and skillets and has guests grill and serve the ingredients themselves. The ingredients are prepared and seasoned in advance by Glamping Masters, who support the outdoor experience, enabling the guests to easily experience the appeal of enjoying a meal outdoors.
