GARAKU Soup Curry

At the head office of GARAKU, boned chicken leg and colorful vegetables are trademarks, but at the hotel, we arrange them in an easy-to-eat manner according to the breakfast buffet.
While keeping the specialty soup as it is, we will provide ingredients selected for each season based on Hokkaido potato "Inca no Mezame", chicken thighs, fried broccoli and lotus root.

Commitment to GARAKU Soup

The mouthy GARAKU soup is carefully made using dozens of ingredients, such as onions, herbs, and tomatoes, fried until it becomes candy color, based on three parts of pork bones and chicken, and plenty of flavored vegetables.
By adding Japanese-style soup, it is finished into "rich soup" with plenty of umami.

The secret spice of GARAKU

In order to add depth and accent to the soup, GARAKU is a unique blend of various spices.
The secret blend, which emphasizes aroma and coolness, also incorporates plant-based herb spices that are not commonly used, creating a unique flavor.
