Japan's Four Seasons, Heartfelt Hospitality

At HAPPO-EN, no two wedding menus are the same. We offer culinary hospitality that celebrates Japan's four seasons, from spring through winter. We also create dishes that evoke cherished family memories and incorporate ingredients from the couple's hometowns. Our chefs carefully select the finest seasonal ingredients from across Japan to propose a unique OMOTENASHI CUISINE tailored to you and your partner.

The History of Hospitality at HAPPO-EN Begins with Cuisine

HAPPO-EN's history began in 1943 when our founder, a chef, opened a traditional Japanese restaurant in Ginza. We have carefully preserved traditional flavors while refining our hospitality to meet the evolving expectations of each era. Through this continuous process of honoring tradition and embracing innovation, we have shared our culinary philosophy with countless guests.

Cuisine that Blends Japanese, Western, and Chinese Traditions

Above all else, HAPPO-EN's chefs value the dedication of our producers and the blessings of each season. They carefully select the finest seasonal ingredients from Japan's rich lands and seas, honoring the passion behind each ingredient as they prepare every dish with meticulous care. These premium ingredients are beautifully harmonized within our course menus, with their full potential realized through Japanese, Western, and Chinese culinary techniques. We offer exceptional wedding cuisine unique to HAPPO-EN that delights guests of all ages.

One-of-a-Kind OMOTENASHI CUISINE
That Reflects Your Personality

Japanese weddings were originally held at home, where the groom's family would serve their signature dishes alongside special preparations to welcome the bride and her family. While times have changed, the essence of wedding cuisine remains unchanged. HAPPO-EN honors this tradition by offering personalized OMOTENASHI CUISINE created exclusively for you, expressing your unique story and sentiments. We invite you to share with us your hometowns, places dear to your heart, and the flavors that evoke your most treasured memories.

HAPPO-EN's Traditional Cuisine

Roast Beef Made from Domestic Beef Loin

A beloved HAPPO-EN tradition for many years, our signature roast beef is crafted from carefully selected domestic beef loin, slowly roasted to bring out its full, rich flavor. At your reception, our chef will perform a tableside carving service in front of your guests, creating a memorable moment of culinary theater and heartfelt hospitality.

Celebratory Sea Bream Rice Cooked in a Clay Pot (Donabe)

This fragrant takikomi gohan (Japanese seasoned rice) features sea bream, a traditional symbol of celebration in Japanese culture, carefully cooked in a clay pot. At HAPPO-EN, we use two whole sea bream—one placed atop the rice and one in the broth—to symbolize the union of the couple. When the clay pot lid is lifted before your guests, aromatic steam rises and the fragrance of sea bream fills the air, creating a luxurious multisensory experience.
