Seasonal Flavors You Can Only Taste in Sado

The dishes at SEISUKE Next Door are made with the freshest, seasonal ingredients sourced right from Sado Island. Some are grown and harvested by the chef, while others come directly from local producers. In spring, you might find wild mountain vegetables or cherry salmon on the menu — with new, seasonal flavors to discover every time you visit.

A Unique Fusion of Japanese Fermentation and French Cuisine

Its biggest charm is an original style called Wa Hakko French, using homemade miso, soy sauce, and koji — traditional Japanese fermented ingredients — to create rich, umami-packed dishes you won’t forget.

A One-of-a-Kind Experience: The Omakase Course

The menu is centered around the Omakase Course (a Japanese tradition where the chef selects the dishes for you). Each day, the chef designs a unique menu based on the freshest seasonal ingredients available. Expect dishes made with homemade bread using Sado-grown wheat, local sake, and creative cocktails featuring fruits from the island — an authentic taste of Sado in every bite.

Stunning Views of the Sea and Sunset: A Perfect Setting for a Special Moment

From the restaurant’s large windows, you can take in breathtaking views of Sawada Coast. The best time to visit is sunset, when the sky and sea come alive in dramatic colors. Enjoy the rich umami of Sado’s local ingredients in Wa Hakko French cuisine while taking in the magical scenery.
