Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

Akashi Park will be open to the public at night, recreating the atmosphere of the time with bonfires and other activities.
We will be holding a unique garden party where you can enjoy the illuminated Akashi Castle and Akashi's local specialties, including Akashi octopus and other seafood, in the atmosphere of the time.
Enjoy a special experience that can only be found in Japan.

Akashi Castle was built along the Saigoku Kaido road about 400 years ago in 1619 (Genwa 5) by order of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second Shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate, as a precaution against the Western provinces. At the site of the main citadel, there are 30 turrets, of which only 12 remain in Japan, and the turrets and earthen walls are designated as Important Cultural Properties by the national government.
This time, a first-of-its-kind initiative will be launched that allows visitors to experience the entire history of the old shogunate period that remains in Akashi City.
We will be holding the first-ever "Daimyo Banquet Experience" at Akashi Castle, a nationally designated historic site, where we will be offering a modern-day recreation of the menu served to the 8th lord of the Akashi domain, Matsudaira Naoaki, when he took over the castle.

[Introduction to Japanese culture]
About Japanese knives: Japanese knives are forged blades that utilize the manufacturing techniques of Japanese swords and have developed along with Japanese food culture.
This is a single-edged knife made by hammering steel using a blade-making technique, and I can confidently say that its sharpness is the best in the world.
The shape of a single-edged Japanese knife is characterized by a taper and a urasuki (a recess on the back of the knife).
The taper is designed so that when you cut food, the thick blade goes through the thin blade, reducing stress on the food.
As for the back side of the knife, the concave design reduces the contact area with the food, making it easier for the knife to come out when cutting and reducing stress on the food.
Nowadays, most knives are made of stainless steel.
We scientifically tested the differences in the cross-sections of the same ingredients (sea bream, tuna, squid, octopus, and beef) by cutting them with steel and stainless steel knives.
As a result, we found that there was a difference in the amount of dripping from ingredients when using different steel materials and between single-edged and double-edged knives.
The results showed that single-edged steel knives produced the least amount of dripping (especially with sea bream, tuna, and beef). Food dripping mainly contains water, protein, and umami components.
Our current conclusion is that ingredients taste best when cut with a Japanese single-edged steel knife.
We would like to continue our research and deepen our understanding of cooking through the relationship between knives and ingredients.
It can be said that Japanese food culture has developed alongside the evolution of ingredients as well as tools such as Japanese knives and tableware, against the backdrop of seasonal customs and rules.
We hope you can experience even a little bit of Japanese food culture.
