You can enjoy the refreshing aftertaste of the mellow taste of aged salmon and the wasabi-flavored yogurt sauce.

Roasted Japanese yam, a specialty of Aomori Prefecture, is layered with minced burdock and charcoal-grilled squid to bring out its chewy texture and aroma. Enjoy it with chestnut crab sauce, which has a strong aroma. Chestnut crab is an essential ingredient for cherry blossom viewing in the Tsugaru region, and in keeping with the local food culture of “eating precious seafood with care,” we used even the shell to bring out the flavor. The flavor of the minced meat deepens with each bite, and you can feel the story of the food culture cultivated in the Tsugaru region and the local ingredients. ■Desale “Soba”

The fragrant buckwheat flour galette has a pleasantly crispy texture and a rich aroma that spreads in your mouth. Walnut miso goes well with such a galette. The flavor is inspired by Kushimochi, a soul food from the southern region, which adds a subtle sweetness and richness to deepen the flavor. Along with chantilly (*1) and strawberries, this dish has a Western essence while also giving you a taste of the food culture rooted in Aomori life. *1 Whipped fresh cream French Restaurant “Sonore” Spring Limited Menu Overview Period: April 15, 2025 – June 30, 2025 Price: 21,780 yen per person (tax and service charge included, accommodation fee not included) Reservation: Official website ( Location: Oirase Keiryu Hotel by Hoshino Resorts West Building 1st floor Time: 17:30-21:00 Target: Guests (elementary school students and above) Executive Chef Ryo Minohara

What is French restaurant “Sonore” Sonore is a musical term that means “to make it resonate” in French. The meaning is that the sound of a mountain stream and the French cuisine reinterpreted in Aomori’s food culture in modern times, and the wine pairing that goes well with the food, will resonate cheerfully in the mind and body. Our restaurant’s courses begin on the terrace, where you can hear the sound of the mountain stream, and continue with a menu that combines regional ingredients grown in Aomori, local food culture, and French cuisine.
