Yamagata the Takinami – Ukitomam –

Established in Yamagata Prefecture’s Okitama basin in 1915, the hot spring inn Yamagata the Takinami reopened in 2017 after renovations. U-Ki-Tomam, the restaurant in the inn where chef Tsuyoshi Nakagawa displays his skills and creativity, communicates the excellence of local ingredients to people inside and outside Japan, calling itself “Yamagata’s showroom and curated store.”
