The cuisine is centered around dishes boldly using handmade loin ham, which can only be found here, in collaboration with "Kamakura Ham Tomioka Shokai," a local ham manufacturer with a 110-year history in Kamakura, as well as PIZZA, PANCAKE, GREEN, ICE CREAM, and other dishes using seasonal ingredients from Shonan. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA style. We also collaborated with "Kamakura Beer," a craft beer brewery also located in Kamakura. GARDEN HOUSE's original seasonal craft beer is kegged first thing in the morning and sent directly to you. You can enjoy freshly brewed craft beer that you can only drink here. – Click for Narita Airport Map Return - Aug 3 - Tokyo Narita Barbour - Flight 1 - Tokyo to Montreal - Booking Number - 426ET7 Air Canada Flight 2 - Montreal to JFK Depart 6:25PM - Montreal Seats: Slater - Tokyo to Honolulu Zipair
