🍲 Hot and delicious, cooked with famous spring water dashi! A Saijo autumn tradition. Savor the secret dashi made with the famous 'Uchinuki' spring water and local taro in a large pot. Eating imotaki under lanterns amidst the clear waters of the Kamogawa River and its blue stone riverbed is an unparalleled experience.
A historic event that has continued for nearly half a century. You can enjoy it hands-free with a reservation.
