Resonating Terroir: Earth and Sea

About this event

Chef Daiki Hotta of the gastronomy auberge "VILLA COMMUNICO" in Nara and Chef Ai Kimura of "Gokiri" in Boso, Chiba, will host a special gastronomy event where two distinct climates and food cultures meet. Rooted in their respective lands of Nara and Chiba Boso, these two culinary masters share the philosophy of "creating cuisine together with producers" and "reflecting the local terroir onto a single plate." This two-night-only event brings together their respective terroirs to craft a unified tasting course. Held as a stay-based retreat event where guests savor not only dinner but their entire stay at Gokiri, it provides a special retreat experience to restore mind and body in rare Boso black-water natural hot springs and saunas while enveloped in the tranquility of the satoyama, soaking in the lingering impressions of the cuisine around a bonfire. Chef Hotta's signature firewood-grilled cuisine will be served live in a courtyard visible from the dining area, allowing guests to enjoy the flickering flames and aromas as part of the experience. The time spent at Gokiri itself becomes a special experience—not only savoring the food, but conversing around the bonfire, surrendering to the tranquility of the satoyama, refreshing mind and body in the natural onsen and sauna, and leisurely enjoying the lingering resonance of the story woven by the two chefs.
