Wine Pairing

Shokudo Saison d’Or is a French restaurant in Takahmiya, Fukuoka, led by veteran chef Hitoshi Maeyama, whose cooking is often described as Kyushu French: French technique applied to the seafood, vegetables, and regional ingredients of Kyushu, especially from areas such as Karatsu and Yobuko. His cuisine combines decades of experience, local sourcing, low-temperature and precise cooking techniques, and a Japanese sense of wabi-sabi, resulting in seasonal tasting menus that feel refined but deeply rooted in Kyushu.
