Please enjoy this specially-arranged seafood hot pot with famous sea bream and rich local ingredients, cooked in an original soup stock.
As local sea bream grows up in the Obatake-seto Strait, one of three major currents of Japan, its firm texture produces a savory flavour with a strong but sweet taste.

Jinenjo (Japanese wild yam)
Japanese wild yams used to be considered very rare, as they were only harvested in the mountains and not produced in farms. After long years of research and trials, Masada Natural Farm in Yanai City invented a special device named “Clever Pipe”, which enabled growing wild yam for the first time in the world, paving a way for other farmers to grow them. This is why Yanai is now called “the place of origin of wild-yam farming”. The Jinenjo wild yam is also scientifically proven to contain a substance which increases DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone), a male hormone which is good for revitalizing, anti-aging and improving hormone balance.
