Wood-Fired Cooking
MAKIBI Cuisine Wood-Fired Cooking
Open flame and glowing embers.
The fire is chosen to suit each ingredient and cut, then given time — grilled slowly over steady heat.
Gently seared without, plump and tender within: simple cooking that lets the ingredient and the fire speak for themselves.
Wrapped in the nature of Kamikochi, we invite you to savor the fragrance of woodsmoke and the pure umami of each ingredient.

Dinner Buffet
The star of the show is our wood-fired cooking, made with carefully chosen local vegetables.
We ring a bell whenever a dish comes off the fire.
Look around the restaurant and you'll see hikers and families alike.
Take your time, and eat to your heart's content.Dinner Buffet 17:30–20:30 (last entry 19:00 / food service ends 20:15) -

Breakfast Buffet
Our famous kouign-amann-style French toast.
It is crisp on the outside, moist within — and with the very first bite, the delicate aroma of butter and cinnamon blooms gently across the palate.
We top it with plenty of caramelized banana, slow-roasted over the wood fire for 90 minutes until dark, which takes the place of a sauce.Breakfast Buffet 7:00–9:00 (last entry 8:30) -

Craft Beer
Nothing goes better with fire-roasted meat and vegetables than a good beer.
We always have more than 20 distinctive craft beers on offer. They include Gosenjaku Pale Ale, created by the sommelier of Gosenjaku Hotel Kamikochi together with Matsumoto Brewery, and Kamikochi IPA, known for its rich hop aroma and pleasant bitterness.
A 60-minute all-you-can-drink option is also available. -
Selected Ingredients
-
Meat
No wood-fired meal is complete without meat.
We turn large cuts again and again over the fire, keeping the juices moving and sealed inside.
The result is meat that is remarkably juicy. -
Vegetables
Colorful vegetables grown in the rich natural surroundings of Shinshu (Nagano).
The wood fire draws out their natural sweetness and flavor, making them stars in their own right.
Message
The rich flavors of wood-fired cooking, in harmony with the majestic nature of Kamikochi.
Savoring fire-roasted meat and vegetables beside the soft, gentle flicker of a wood fire soothes both body and soul.
Feel the breath of nature around you, let time slow down, and enjoy the deep flavors that only a wood fire can create.
