The Source
The Sacred Land of Gourmet:
Bringing the sea's treasures to the Imperial Court.
This is the beginning of your personal culinary story, where you connect
directly with the sea.
The Craft
This is the moment of transformation: under the guidance of local masters, you will elevate the morning's personally selected catch into a multi-course culinary masterpiece. This experience is the climax of your journey, linking the pristine source directly to the final, sublime dish.
- The Artisan's Skill: Learn the meticulous art of traditional fish preparation from the artisan —a skill and heritage passed down through generations.
- Master Collaboration: Engage in a private and collaborative cooking session with a renowned master chef. You will not only observe but actively participate in transforming your catch into sublime dishes, personally experiencing the "upstream process" of food.

The Serenity
Beyond the deep culinary immersion, the Miketsukuni Voyage offers a total sensory retreat into Ise-Shima's profound tranquility. Here, the region's soothing natural environment is seamlessly blended with the highest standard of luxury hospitality.
- A Sanctuary of Healing: Experience deep relaxation and the spirit of the ancient Japanese onsen (hot spring) tradition.
- Exclusive Cruises: Unwind during a chartered sunset cruise on the beautiful Ago Bay. The calm, scenic waters offer a perfect setting for reflection and appreciation of the local landscape.

You will gain rare insight into the enduring traditions of the legendary Ama divers and the delicate art of pearl cultivation, which are born from these very waters and speak to the timeless connection between the people and the sea.
