An award-winning, waterside destination restaurant, Wasabi is well known to visiting gourmets. Premium produce from the region and Wasabi's own farm sings in delicate, technically brilliant dishes such as local line-caught fish, ponzu (citrus) butter, pickled young bamboo, cucamelon and greens followed by nasturtium ice cream, rosella granita, biwa (loquat) blossom and sake syrup. Book ahead.

The drinks list includes premium Japanese spirits, as well as cocktails inspired by Wasabi's local farm. The restaurant also runs a cooking school, with numerous courses available.
