Swiss cheese melted in white wine and finished with kirsch. We write about the fondue, raclette and the Swiss table in plain words, for first-timers too.

What makes our fondue different

This page is an English summary. The column articles are written in Japanese, each with a short English summary at the end.

01

All Swiss cheese

The cheese in our fondue is all from Switzerland. Milk would mute the cheese, so we melt it in white wine with the alcohol cooked off, keeping its flavour and richness.

02

Finished with kirsch

We finish the fondue with a little kirsch, a cherry brandy. Its alcohol is not cooked off, so we ask before adding it and leave it out for children or guests who prefer no alcohol.

Q01

Can I make a reservation?

Yes. Weekend and holiday visits from 12:00 are by reservation only. Please call +81-98-988-7538.

Q02

What is the cheese fondue melted in?

Swiss cheese is melted in white wine with the alcohol cooked off, not in milk: milk would mute the cheese, while the wine keeps its flavour and richness. We finish with a little kirsch (cherry brandy).

Q03

I do not drink alcohol. Can I still eat it?

The white wine is used with its alcohol cooked off. The kirsch added at the end is not cooked off, so we ask you before adding it and leave it out for children or guests who prefer no alcohol. Please ask our staff if you have any concerns.
