Enjoy the flavors of the delicious menus straight from Japan with highlights that have incorporated flowers into the dishes, including:
- Benibana Somen: This somen dish uses the Benibana petals, a popular flower grown in Yamagata, kneaded into the noodle flour to make the delightful pink somen that reminds you of springtime.
- Sakura Mentaiko Pasta: An original menu that takes the beetroot to mix with the pasta, then carved to shape into the Sakura flower, and cooked in delicious mentaiko sauce.
- Aburi Kodai Sushi: The kodai sasa tsuke maki is a local dish. The filling is made by taking the small Tai fish wrapped with sasa leaf (type of bamboo) to stack in the tsuke barrel (type of pine) for pickling. The pickled kodai is then made into a maki that has a delicious sour pickled flavor of white vinegar. The kodai in the maki also has the subtle aromas of the sasa leaf and the tsuke barrel.
- Hotate Temari Sushi: Hotate from Miyaki, ikura, and the Kikuma flower is rolled into a cute pompom, the bite-sized Temari sushi ball.
- Peach Panna Cotta: An original dessert made with the “Akatsuki” peach that has reached peak ripeness, making it extra sweet and juicy. The panna cotta is then decorated in pink to look like the Sakura.
- Uguisu Ball – Rice crispies, Karinto style, made from sweet and spicy glutinous rice that is shaped like the ume flower (plum flower). There is a believe, “if you pair the ume flower with the Uguisu bird, this paring will bring you prosperity”. This snack was created in 1930, which is one of the longest selling products of Kobe.
- Coffee Jelly Parfait: A specialty signature parfait from the café, “TAKADA COFFEE”, opened for business in Yamaguchi since 1987. The parfait is filled with homemade coffee jelly and thick vanilla soft serve ice cream made in Japan.
- Sakura Mochi: A forever popular confectionery to savor during the Sakura viewing season in the springtime. It is a delicious confectionery for any season; however, its adorable shape makes it the perfect gift that Japanese people love present as souvenirs from every region.
- Kinmokusei Matcha Latte: This delicious menu gives you the harmonious combination of the green tea with the floral aromas of the sweet osmanthus flower’s signature scent.
- Uji Matcha Mini Parfait: The pudding in the parfait is made from the premium uji tea with a hydrangea theme. The sweet aromas come from the perfect combination of red bean, matcha pudding, and fresh milk pudding. Then it is beautifully topped off with Shiratama mochi, red bean jellies, matcha cookie, and various colors of flower jellies.
- Sakura Smoothie: A smoothie topped with red bean paste, creating another perfect combination. The sweet, subtle aromas of the Sakura brings out the celebratory atmosphere of viewing the Sakura bloom, giving the warmth and lively spirit straight from “Kanagawa”.

There is also the collaboration with the GANON FLORIST, the internationally renowned flower arrangement artist, who will arrange fruit gift sets with a premium floral theme.
