TWG Tea originated in Singapore. It has many fans, and customers have been very happy to know that it is available in Izu Shimoda. This tea is also served at the afternoon tea at the Blue Natier lounge.

Afternoon tea is only available on Saturdays and Sundays. Enjoy Blue Natier Ensemble and TWG Black Tea.

In our Superior, Deluxe and Suite rooms, we serve TWG black tea along with Nisshindo Madeleines, which were apparently a favorite of the famous writer Yukio Mishima.

In Nishiizu, the salted bonito displayed on the Shinto altar during the New Year is served in ochazuke, salads, and vinegared dishes. This is a quick and easy dish called "Shio-katsu ochazuke."

Honey and honey products made by Takahashi Beekeeping in Shimoda, Izu are popular. They also have collaborations with nuts.

Shimoda-born lip balm, made from honey, beeswax, and jojoba oil by Takahashi Beekeeping, is a small travel souvenir that can fit in a handbag. The wonderful-smelling honey soap is made with Takahashi Beekeeping's additive-free, unrefined, natural pure honey and the milk of goats lovingly raised in the great outdoors of Hokkaido.

The "Itogaki" from Yamada Katsuobushi Shop in Shimoda Town is made from skipjack tuna instead of skipjack tuna. The thread-like shavings are made without the blood and have no fishy smell. Try sprinkling them on boiled vegetables, tofu, or salads. Their beautiful white color also makes them great for ozoni and simmered dishes at celebratory occasions.

There are also many products using Izu wasabi. "Wasabi and wakame" is a thick stem of wakame seaweed simmered with wasabi in a sweet and spicy sauce. It goes perfectly with warm rice.
