Haru San San is an eco-friendly restaurant-café located on a farm on Awaji Island. The building is a sustainable structure designed by world-renowned architect Shigeru Ban.
Masayuki Okuda, who has been selected as one of the top 1,000 chefs in the world, and Nobuaki Fushiki, a specialist in fermented cuisine, have teamed up to create a menu that highlights fresh, local produce.
The majority of the menu items are made using freshly harvested vegetables from our own farm or sourced from reliable partner farms on Awaji Island. Here, you can enjoy meals that are both healthy for you and friendly to the environment.
Sustainable Architecture
The Haru San San farmhouse is a sustainable building designed by architect Shigeru Ban, winner of the Pritzker Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in the architecture industry. The design is environmentally friendly and utilizes renewable materials.
The thatched roof is made of kaya, a thick plant in the grass family, which can be reused as compost. The pillars are paper tubes made from recycled cardboard. The restaurant interior blends seamlessly with the natural farm surroundings, creating a harmonious space between people and the earth.
Vegetable-Focused Dishes
Haru San San’s cuisine is made with a variety of ingredients nurtured by Awaji Island’s rich nature, with a focus on fresh vegetables from our own farm.
Masayuki Okuda, who was selected as one of the “1,000 Chefs of the World,” and Nobuaki Fushiki, a specialist in fermented cuisine, collaborated on the creation of the menu.
Each dish uses fresh, local ingredients to the fullest. The agricultural products from the island, the seafood from the surrounding waters, and the fruits and vegetables harvested just steps away from your table come together to give you a true taste of Awaji Island.
Lunch & Light Treats
For lunch, the most popular meal set includes a salad made with more than 10 types of vegetables, a soup filled with seasonal produce, freshly baked homemade bread, and a main dish. For the main, you can choose between fresh pasta, a meat dish, or a vegetable dish.
Sweets made with seasonal fruits and vegetables are also very popular, along with original drinks made using whole fruits.
