Japanese Restaurant

In a space that showcases Hotarutei’s traditional wooden framework, the sense of pride Japanese feel for the farmers of this country and the rice they produce is tangible. Along with the deliciousness of the rice, which embodies both boldness and attention to detail, you can savor the rich flavors of ingredients born from the Shinshu region to round out your culinary experience.

    01.Dedication to Ingredients

    Shinshu is blessed with pristine water and abundant nature, granting it a wide variety of culinary possibilities. At Hotarutei, our dedication to the most basic ingredient of any Japanese meal, rice, lies in our name. 穂, the first character in Hotarutei, describes rice in its freshest state, still on the stalk. We believe that every meal should be judged first by its most fundamental ingredients. Only then can you enjoy the fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables which make up the rest of the meal.
