A must-try when you come to Izunokura is the 〈Char-grilled Izu venison〉1,700 yen (tax included) 100g. Venison is nutritious and healthy, with low fat, low calories, high protein, and high iron content. You can choose from "thigh" or "back loin". Izu venison used for charcoal grilling is carefully aged for more than three weeks to concentrate the flavor to the limit. The surprisingly tender and savory flavor of the meat is sure to satisfy both gibier novices and gibier lovers. 〈Black rice and red shrimp risotto〉small size 1,000 yen (tax included), medium size 1,800 yen (tax included) is a very popular dish using black rice, a specialty of IzunoKura's birthplace, Shuzenji, Izu City. It has the characteristics of both glutinous rice and brown rice, and is a delightful dish with a sticky, chewy texture. S-size is also available for a pleasant after-meal finish.

"Izunokura's charm lies in its wide variety of gibier dishes. 〈Ostrich Carpaccio〉 1,780 yen (tax included) is a vacuum-cooked ostrich meat, which is almost lean with little fat, softened by vacuum cooking. It is light and healthy, but the more you bite into it, the more flavorful it becomes.
Minced venison and mashed potatoes in gratin style〈Assiette parmentier de venison〉 1,000 yen (tax included) is a dish that should be served with the main meat dish. The cheese-filled mashed potatoes and minced venison meat sauce served with the meat is a true taste of bliss.
Izunokura's desserts are also superb. One of the best is the chef's signature 〈Adult rich bitter pudding〉680 yen (tax included). Enjoy the bitter pudding made with caramel that has been burnt to the last minute and finished with rum for adults. The secret ingredients of salt and sangwon sugar bring out the richness and sweetness of the pudding.
Even those who are not accustomed to eating gibier can enjoy it without hesitation because the chef, who is well versed in the characteristics of the ingredients, uses the best cooking method. We hope you will enjoy this exotic dining experience that can only be found here."
