Mercure Tottori Daisen Resort & Spa, an all-inclusive resort hotel located at the foot of Oyama (Hokicho, Saihaku-gun, Tottori Prefecture / General Manager: Masaya Oshiro) will provide autumn-only food experiences that can enjoy the blessings of Oyama from September 2025.

Utilizing fresh rice harvested locally and seasonal ingredients from Tottori, we will prepare delicious taste that allows guests to feel the local climate and the changing seasons.

Opportunities to experience the charm of San-in through the “Kamizuki” and “Autumn Fruit”

The San-in region has been regarded as a place where eight million gods gather since ancient times, and it is believed that gods from all over the country will gather at Izumo Taisha Shrine in October of the lunar calendar. During this period, it is called "Kannazuki" nationwide, and in the Izumo region it is called "Kamiarizuki", and it has been popular with people as a special season in which the gods are connected. (*1)

Also, autumn is the season of fruiting, including new rice. Tottori is also a time when a variety of agricultural products grown by rich nature come out. In recent years, as interest in sustainable agriculture and local production for local consumption has increased, the value of "rice" and Japanese food culture itself have been re-examined.

Based on these local culture and trends of the times, our hotel offers a place where visitors can feel the “deepening of the season unique to San-in” through food experiences that combine the blessings of Oyama, which is also said to be the mountain of God, and the taste of autumn.

We prepare Koshihikari from Hino-cho, which is adjacent to Hoki-cho, where our hotel stands. The surrounding area is surrounded by mountains of about 1,000m, so the temperature difference is large, and rice grown in Hinocho, which is blessed with underground water, is characterized by its good grain size and sweetness.

Because of its transparent appearance and its beautiful gloss and glossiness, it was born in Hoshitori Prefecture and was named "Starry Sky Dance" as a rice shining like a star. Due to the property of hugging a lot of water, the freshness continues even if it cools, and you can enjoy a plump texture for a long time.

  • December: Yagomai (produced in Hachigo district, Hoki-cho, Tottori Prefecture)

Hachigo rice, known as organic and reduced pesticide rice, is cultivated using the Ide (Irrigation Canal) of Ohara Senmachi, where the guardian deity of this area, "O snake" created overnight in exchange for his own life. " Rice grown in the clear underground water of Oyama is a popular variety even locally.

"Okazu miso" is a combination of Kanayamaji miso, where the umami condenses by fermenting miso and vegetables together, plus the umami of Oyama-dori.

The flavorful tsukudani, which is indispensable for rice, is combined with crispy texture yam.

It is a dish that combines sweet vinegared dunes rakkyo with thick pulp and soft southern Takaume. The sand dunes that withstand the harsh winds and snow blowing from the Sea of Japan in winter, and that the colder the cold, the darker the harder the darker, the harder it is, can be said to be a lump of vitality (*2). In addition, plums bloom in early spring after severe winters, so they are considered to be "a symbol of regeneration and new beginnings that overcome difficulties." The fragrance is believed to relieve evil and enhance vitality, and is an auspicious flower that brings hope and resurrection. Along with the blessings of the earth brought by nature, you can enjoy the crisp texture of the sweet and sour dune rakkyo and the sourness of plum dried.
