"Delicious food, just the right amount" - Light Course

Just because you're traveling doesn't mean you have to eat a lot.

"I want to enjoy delicious food little by little."

"I want to enjoy a leisurely dinner with some alcohol."

"I want to spend my time after dinner in a lighthearted manner."

For those people, we have prepared the "Light Course".

The menu includes carpaccio of natural sea bream, steamed conger eel with cartafata sauce, and the main course: Awaji beef sukiyaki with mountain and sea tomatoes.

We maintain the same high quality while carefully selecting our product range.

After enjoying dinner, we headed to the cypress wood bath.

Then, I gazed at the night sky over Awaji Island from the skylight in my room.

Choosing not to overeat is also a luxury that allows you to comfortably enjoy your trip.

This autumn, treat yourself to a trip of your own choosing.

I want to indulge in plenty of luxury.

I want to enjoy the classics.

I want to enjoy delicious food in just the right amount.

There's no single right way to enjoy traveling.

That's why, at GRAND CHARIOT, we've prepared three gourmet courses, all featuring the same "Awaji Beef Mountain and Sea Tomato Sukiyaki" as the main dish.

During the day, we went to Awaji Island and Nijigen no Mori.

In the evening, enjoy a gourmet meal tailored to your mood that day.

After dinner, I relaxed in the cypress wood bath and gazed at the night sky stretching out beyond the skylight.

Autumn tourist season.

Since it's a special trip, I won't hold back on eating what I want or spending time where I want.
