Restaurants in Nanyo

Yamagata the Takinami – Ukitomam – offers seasonal Japanese cooking in Nanyo, Yamagata Prefecture, with likely kaiseki or kappo service tied to the Takinami hospitality group. Limited public information and no published contact details make booking challenging; plan around onsen stays and book through a Japanese-speaking concierge 30 to 60 days ahead.
