Nestled in an enchanting forest only an hour away from the heart of Tokyo, The Enclave is a unique private dining experience offering sophisticated modernist fusion cuisine in an intimate at-home setting on the eastern coast of Chiba Prefecture’s Bousou Peninsula. Full-course menus created and prepared by the American owner-chef change monthly to reflect seasonal specialties, and incorporate organ
ically grown herbs and vegetables freshly harvested from the on-site herb garden. An extensive selection of wines and both classic and innovative cocktails are also available to complement guests’ culinary enjoyment, and overnight accommodations with breakfast are also available on a limited basis to those who wish to relax and unwind after dinner without the pressure to hurry home. Guests have the freedom to choose to dine in either the exquisitely appointed main dining room, or outside in the comfortable (and insect-free) gazebo located in the lush landscaped garden, which lights up with a beautiful array of solar-powered illumination after dusk. Guests are likewise able to enjoy pre- and post-dinner cocktails on the spacious deck at their leisure, and those opting to stay the night are free to avail themselves of the outdoor Jacuzzi and pool, as well as movies and videos of their choice in the indoor big-screen home theater. Location
The restaurant is located within the heavily wooded confines of the Nakadaki Art Village community of artisans and craftsmen on the east coast of Chiba Prefecture only a 8-minute drive from the beach and is housed in a very contemporary and spacious wooden house constructed of New Zealand Lockwood timber with Australian eucalyptus flooring and New Zealand kauri wood facings throughout. The grounds feature a koi pond with a large illuminated fountain, fire pit, manicured herb gardens and landscaped chestnut, persimmon and orange trees, a covered gazebo complete with mosquito netting, a plunge pool and two-person Jacuzzi as well as high-end DEDON outdoor lounge furniture and day bed. Extensive solar-powered lighting and gas torches illuminate the grounds at night in a variety of beautiful colors and patterns, all contributing to an unparalleled Western-style atmosphere found nowhere else in Japan. Food and Drink
The cuisine offered at The Enclave is an inventive blend of Asian, European and Latin American elements brought together using so-called modernist cooking methods. Ingredients are locally sourced whenever possible from nearby farms as well as the organic gardens on the premises that feature over 40 different varieties of herbs and vegetables. Conversely, all beef and lamb served at the restaurant are NEWZEE brand certified grass-fed organic from New Zealand and are the highest-quality meat available. Likewise, the wine list features both bottles and wines by the glass from the US West Coast, France, South America and South Africa that have been specially selected with the food offerings in mind. A wide range of cocktails, from classics such as vodka martinis to refreshing new twists such as the Charred and Bloody (a bloody Mary cold-smoked with mesquite chips on the spot), are also offered to satisfy any kind of thirst one may have.
