Manshu Kaiseki cuisine sits firmly in the first place of Japanese cuisine in Hangzhou all year round. Although the arrival of Sushi has divided a certain proportion of Hangzhou's high-end Japanese food market, in the hearts of many diners, Manshu is still the existence of the best Japanese food in Hangzhou. Manshu Kaiseki Cuisine is based on Zixuan Luxury Boutique Resort, with beautiful views of West Lake, and has been awarded the title of "Hangzhou's Most Expensive Japanese Cuisine".
The romantic-sounding and poetic name of the restaurant, "Manshu", has been mentioned in countless food advertorials: "The name of the store is taken from a Chinese-Japanese writer Su Manshu. The Guangdong-born writer Su Manshu is indeed of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, and his tombstone is now standing by the West Lake in Hangzhou, and the restaurant is named "Manshu" seems to be very appropriate. But on the other hand, the writer died young, and the cause of death was gastroenteritis caused by long-term overeating.
At the beginning of its opening, Manjush Kaiseki Cuisine had three special labels: "Japanese Chef", "Japanese Airfreight Ingredients", and "A Japanese Meal Takes 3 Hours". Now, Manshu's "Japanese chef" label has been removed and replaced by a Taiwanese Japanese chef, and one of the biggest benefits of the improvement is that diners can communicate with the chef without language barriers. Taiwanese Japanese chefs have become very common in Hangzhou in the past two years, and the new Japanese cuisine brought by them has become a popular dish among young diners in Hangzhou. For example, the recent appearance of Hanamatei, Ganlu, Manchu cuisine, etc., they are basically detached from the original flavor of Japanese food, and the name of the store has also added modifiers such as "fusion Japanese food" and "new kaiseki", and they are gradually drifting away. Fortunately, Manshu is also supported by top-quality ingredients and traditional Japanese service, and its reputation has not diminished, and reservations are constantly made. On the road of improving Japanese food, Manshu is still continuing. In May 2018, Manshu launched a sushi set menu with prices starting at 1,000 yuan and limited to eight seats per meal, which whetted the appetite of Hangzhou diners. The sushi set also takes a long time to eat, starting with a round of ingredient presentations, and the whole uncut fresh seafood is first passed through by diners before being processed, which is not inferior to the kaiseki that takes 3 hours to eat.
The meals provided by Manshu are also set menus, and there is no à la carte except for drinks. The price of kaiseki cuisine is 1588 yuan, 2588 yuan and 3588 yuan, of which the 1588 and 2588 set meals have menus, and new menus are changed every season, and reservations need to be made one day in advance, and 3588 is the highest level of Manshu in the form of no menu, which needs to be booked three days in advance. Sushi packages are currently available in three price ranges: 1,000 yuan, 1,500 yuan, and 2,500 yuan. Diners should be reminded that the above prices do not include service charge, and there is a 15% service charge at checkout.
There are six Japanese-style private rooms and one VIP box, all of which are designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, and the courtyard scenery outside the window is distinct. Set up a counter to attack the use of sushi customers. The service at Manshu Restaurant is the most Japanese, and the service staff is dressed in kimonos and serves in a kneeling style, making you feel at home with a great sense of home.
Hangzhou Zixuan Luxury Resort is a boutique hotel brand Relais & Châteaux, located in the West Lake Scenic Area, which consists of seven villas and three top restaurants: Hejie Xianglou, Manshu and Sanyu Pavilion. The overall architectural style of Zixuan has the characteristics of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is an important part of the "Santai Dream Trace" scenic spot in the new scenic spot of Yanggongdi.
