Opened inside Hida Hotel Plaza, a landmark of Hida Takayama. Nurtured by clear water, dramatic temperature swings, and rich nature, each ingredient carries a powerful umami. At HIDASHI, we honor charcoal fire and dashi — traditional Japanese techniques — to bring out the best of these ingredients.

Charcoal fire uses far-infrared heat to concentrate umami — crispy outside, tender inside. Excess moisture is driven off, intensifying the natural flavors.

And supporting every dish is dashi. The interplay of precise heat and layered dashi creates depth and lingering flavor.

The sound of grilling, the rising aroma, the flicker of fire. We deliver Hida’s seasons as an experience for all five senses.
