ChefHiroyuki Masuda - Further evolution beyond pursuit
Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1948. Admired by Kyoto, he began working at a traditional Japanese restaurant, which is where he began his culinary journey. After training in Kyoto and Shiga, he spent his days honing his craft at the Tenno-no-Yado Genmyoan in Kyoto, and further deepened his knowledge at the long-established traditional Japanese restaurant Ryotei Shibaen. Making use of his rare talent, he also worked as an executive chef for many years. In 1997, he went independent with Gorakuan, and currently teaches at a vocational school, is a master of traditional Shijo-ryu knife-making, and is also a certified culinary technician.
Food A gem of a dish that combines traditional techniques with the chef's originality
Masuda's cuisine is inventive and creative, while still adhering to the traditional techniques he learned over many years of study. The course menu changes with the seasons, so the restaurant offers a different experience every time you visit. Along with the food, the beautiful tableware is also something to look out for. The colorful tableware evokes the atmosphere of the four seasons, further enhancing the appeal of the food. The ingredients, space, and tableware - each element is essential, but the exquisite dishes at this restaurant will gently teach you the importance of enjoying your meals.
SpaceAn elegant Japanese space with a dignified atmosphere
Once you pass through the noren curtain engraved with the restaurant's name, you'll find yourself in a space filled with a pure atmosphere. Taking a deep breath, you'll be greeted by the scent of tatami mats. The good old storefront gives customers a relaxing time. Another attraction is the wide variety of seating options, including table seating and tatami rooms. You'll want to immerse yourself in a luxurious moment while gazing at the beautiful garden, which changes appearance with the changing seasons. The majestic Lake Biwa spreads out nearby, and depending on the time of day, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
Enjoy the essence of Japanese cuisine in an elegant space. The gentle, soft cuisine that shows respect for nature will gently tug at your heartstrings.
Gorakuan is located on the shores of Lake Biwa, where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. A stone-paved approach leads to a good old Japanese space. There, you can enjoy a variety of dishes that sublimat
...e the seasonal bounty into exquisite dishes. While respecting the basics, this restaurant's gentleness is also a feature. Immerse yourself in the beautiful, soul-cleansing scenery and enjoy cuisine that is full of respect for nature and vitality, and spend a luxurious and memorable time.
