Matsue Excel Hotel Tokyu (Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture) is offering a Japanese-Western fusion dinner course called "Tamayura (玉響)" (¥15,000 per person, inclusive of service charge and tax) during Obon and Silver Week in 2026. The course showcases premium local ingredients including abalone, Shimane wagyu beef, nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch), and domestic freshwater eel, and is available for just 10 guests per day over a limited 11-day period. A welcome drink chosen from six options featuring Shimane wines and craft beers is included. An accommodation plan combining the course with breakfast is also available.
The Sea's Bounty: Grilled Steamed Abalone
Steamed Abalone Grilled with Liver Miso Butter Sauce
Generously steamed abalone is grilled to a golden finish and served with a deeply flavored sauce of concentrated liver miso and butter. The umami of the abalone and the aroma of the sea come together in an indulgent dish.
Shimane's Prized Wagyu
Shimane Prefecture Wagyu Beef Fillet, Okuizumo Maitake Mushroom Fritters, Shimane Red Wine Sauce
Shimane wagyu beef, known for its fine-grained texture and refined umami, is served simply as a steak. Accompanied by aromatic Okuizumo maitake mushroom fritters and a sauce made from Shimane Prefecture red wine.
Concluding the Course with Domestic Eel
Domestic Freshwater Eel Rice (Unaju)
Fragrant grilled domestic freshwater eel is served over rice in a lacquered box. The umami concentrated in the plump flesh, combined with an elegant richness, provides a fitting end to the course.

The Meaning Behind "Tamayura (玉響)"
"Tamayura (玉響)" is a Japanese word evoking a fleeting, beautiful moment in time, or a faint, lovely resonance. It is said to derive from the subtle sound made when magatama (comma-shaped beads) gently touch one another. The Izumo region has long been renowned for its magatama-making tradition, and the course name was chosen to honor that cultural heritage while expressing the special, irreplaceable time spent during a journey.
A Welcome Drink from Shimane to Start the Evening
The dinner begins with a welcome drink selected from wines, craft beers, and soft drinks connected to Shimane — an invitation to enjoy the flavors of the region from the very first sip.
Welcome Drink Options (choose 1 from 6):
