Watanabe Diary

Let's start with a very light Yuzu citrus sake as an apperitif. Then all the excitments are waiting for you. Please enjoy the great adventure of Japanese traditional course dinner!

Trees are beautiful in rain, and I imagine drinking great sake on rainy day could take us to the another greatest world. Hiroshima is well known for producing lots of beautiful sake. Please have them with our special kaiseki-course dinner!

The precious oyster season has come again! Yum yum.

Sanno Shrine is built about 800 years ago and became an auxiliary shrine of the Itsukushima shrine in 1878. The Sannno Shrine festival is held and beautiful bugaku music and dancing was performed under a clear autumn sky. Trees start turning red, yellow and orange. A beautiful autumn season is coming!

The Ujigami festival is held every year on Ocotober 14 and 15th.

We called local deity "Ujigami" and we all islanders are "Ujiko" protected by "Ujigami-sama". This is an event to show our great gratitude to "Ujigami-sama".
