[YAMAGATA 003] <Private> Mountain Foraging & Wild Food Experience at Dewaya
Yamagata
Tsuruoka
In the remote mountain village of Nishikawa, the tradition of foraging wild plants, herbs, and mushrooms - known as sansai - has been passed down for generations. At Dewaya, a historic mountain inn, master forager / chef Haruki and chef Yumi share their ancestral knowledge, guiding you through the culinary wisdom where foraging and farming meet. View the inn’s preserved sansai, gather seasonal ingredients from the mountains, and enjoy a personalized cooking demonstration and multi-course lunch paired with local Gassan sake — a true taste of Japan’s deep-rooted mountain culture
