Auberge de Oishi

Day two of my Kagawa trip with my new wife. We headed to “Auberge de Oishi,” an Accommodation I had long hoped to bring her to ever since my previous stay.The oyster dishes I enjoyed a few years ago weren’t available this time due to recent climate-related difficulties in sourcing ingredients, but even so, the cuisine here continues to exceed expectations every visit. It’s not simply a lineup of expensive ingredients—this auberge’s true appeal is the chance to encounter an entirely new dining experience.The space and interior design reflect the owner’s meticulous attention to detail. It has a distinctive atmosphere and palette you won’t find in commercialized large-scale luxury Hotels or typical tourist spots.The staff, including the madam, are friendly yet refined, making your stay all the more fulfilling. Next time, I’d like to return and invite my wife’s parents as well, staying in one of the newly built rooms on the hilltop. If you’re visiting Kagawa, this is a place worth experiencing at least once.

As they also run a French restaurant, the meal at the Hotel featuring local ingredients was truly outstanding.The photo shows a dish combining local abalone and white asparagus.The chef even came over to greet us, and carefully selected wines to match my preferences—an absolutely perfect pairing.The Room was clean and very comfortable.The parking area is a little hard to find, but the Hotel staff kindly guided us, so we felt at ease.
