An unhurried evening at the water's edge.

Dinner

At the sea-view lounge Airodokoro, dinner weaves Hashitate Port seafood and the cultural memory of the Kitamaebune trade into a single course. Dinner becomes the reason to stay.

Kitamae Cuisine dishes plated across several vessels

I. Concept

Dinner concept.

Kitamae Cuisine combines fresh seafood landed at Hashitate Port with fermentation culture shaped by Kitamaebune maritime trade culture. A collaboration between the in-house chef and a “traveling chef” creates a seasonal course where tradition and originality meet.

Airodokoro is the sea-view lounge space at KITAMAE BASE. Dinner is served by reservation, and the space may also be used as a lounge.

II. Special Course

The KITAMAE Select course.

A special course of about nine dishes using seasonal ingredients directly from Hashitate Port, prepared beyond the boundaries of Japanese, Western, or Chinese cuisine. Guests dine in a room with large windows facing the sea.
