One Star: High quality cooking
MICHELIN Green Star
Picture yourself standing in a lush mountain valley, listening to the murmur of a nearby stream. This is SÉN’s ‘watershed cuisine’, a prix fixe experience in which time slowly passes and everyday cares are forgotten. The focus of this fare is on the foods of the Kumano River valley. The bounty of this mountain stream, which flows from the village of Tenkawa to the sea, includes vegetables, fish and game supplied by local farmers and hunters. In tribute to a region that prospered through forestry, the dishes are cooked over firewood.
"We’re focused on the wonder of nature in Tenkawamura, to preserve the bounty of the mountains for future generations. For firewood, we use timber from forest thinning, keeping the forest resilient and vibrant. Partnering with farmers and hunters, we contribute to the ecosystems of mountains and rivers and promote harmonious coexistence. Aware of the impact rivers have on the ocean, we are committed to restoring and expanding natural environments, leaving a healthy legacy for future generations."
