Efforts to use game meat

Since its opening in 2015, HOSHINOYA Fuji has provided game meat such as venison and wild boar meat. Behind this is the recent problem of deer and boar populations increasing nationwide, causing serious damage to agriculture and forestry. Even in Yamanashi Prefecture, the damage to agriculture and forestry by deer is a serious situation. In 2010, the prefectural government started to manage and catch them, and although their numbers decreased once, they have been on the rise again since then (*). By using game meat as an attractive food ingredient, we hope to contribute to the promotion of the capture and consumption of deer and wild boar. We are working on menu development. In the future, we would like to contribute to the local community by promoting the consumption of game meat and improving the problem of wild animals by cooking deer and wild boar caught by veteran hunters deliciously and providing them.
