However, its essence lies in the deep umami and complex flavors created by the seven tastes of numbing, salty, sour, fragrant, bitter, sweet, and spicy. At the New Chinese Restaurant "Mulan", they cherish the charm of Sichuan cuisine and use plenty of rich ingredients from Shizuoka. Vegetables and seafood grown in the sea, mountains, lakes, and rivers meet with fragrant spices to create a unique taste. The aroma that spreads in the spiciness, the rich umami, and the sweetness and bitterness of the ingredients themselves. If you taste the food at Mulan, you will be able to experience the depth of Sichuan cuisine that goes beyond mere "spiciness".
