Let's go with a game hunter! Enjoy real hunting experience & exquisite gibier French dinner.
Last update
Chef Kentaro Nakajima has been a gibier (game) hunter for over 20 years. He works constantly to keep the local wilderness and agricultural environments safe, eliminating pests that disrupt forest environments and cooking them to perfection. On this tour, Nakajima teaches guests about the state of bird and animal pests in the area, then guides groups into the wilderness to observe on a deer hunt, as well as cleaning and processing. After that, Chef Shinsaku Shiomi of Fukuchiyama's authentic French restaurant "Bistrot q" will prepare the freshly butchered venison. Chef Shiomi pairs the meat with vegetables he grows himself, for an incredibly healthy set of French cuisine courses.
