Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
‘Tan’ comes from the city of Kyotango in Kyoto Prefecture. Naturally, the food hails from the Tango region too: rice grown by staff members; vegetables from the region’s farmers. Gohan is cooked in clay pots, timed to be ready just as guests arrive, and served alongside aemono using seasonal vegetables generously dressed with sesame. Seated around a large table called ‘daidokoro’, meaning ‘kitchen’, you feel invited into a circle of friends, so just relax and savour the blessings of nature.
"We engage in organic rice cultivation in Kyotango, which is where we were founded. We spread crab shells supplied by a ryotei over the paddy fields, thereby returning them to the earth as nutrients. The staff help out at rice planting and harvest times, with the harvested rice going to each of the restaurants. We engage in tree planting for forest regeneration, creating the Wakuden no Mori forest."
