About this audio guide
This guide to Mt. Moiwa in Sapporo introduces The Jewels, the glass-walled restaurant five hundred thirty-one meters up Sapporo's summit, wrapped almost entirely in floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city below. It follows how the kitchen built its tasting menu around Sapporo's night view, ranked among Japan's new three great night views in twenty fifteen, naming early courses after light and glow. Head chef Kosoda Yurosuke, who took over the pass in April twenty twenty-four, rewrites that menu every three months around whatever Hokkaido's north sends up the mountain: scallops, venison, wild mushrooms, whatever the boats and farms deliver.
