Cook The Forest

Enjoy the “feast of the forest”!

Zenagi Cuisine - Cook The Forest

Natural ingredients from the forest × Forest Wood-fired cooking

We consider it a luxury and a blessing to be able to cook with natural forest ingredients.

Wild mushrooms, wild vegetables and wild grasses. Wild game meat such as bears, boars, and deer. Aroma and distilled water of local trees such as Kiso cypress. Seafood grown in Ise Bay, where nutrients from the soil of the Kiso Forest are carried by the Kiso River.

The wood and hay from the same forest are used to bake it and give it a noble aroma, offering a “feast of the forest” that can only be tasted here in the world.

Creating forests and satoyama 100 years from now

In order to preserve the wonderful forests and satoyama of Kiso and Tono for 100 years or even 1,000 years from now, we are working with forestry professionals and food producers on sustainable initiatives.

The “forest cycle” is important for restoring forests that have fallen into disrepair. We are also engaged in a cycle that has been repeated for thousands of years: humans grow trees, cut them down, use them, and then plant them again.

At Satoyama, we support organic farming. No pesticides, no harming the environment, no overharvesting, no food loss, no plastic.

We are gradually starting to do what we can with people who share our vision.
