ChefHiroshi Sasaki - The Spirit of Kyoto Cuisine and Hospitality Passed Down to the Next Generation
Born in 1961 and hailing from Nara Prefecture, he grew up in a family of chefs, starting with his grandfather who ran a catering business, his father who operated a kaiseki restaurant, and relatives who ran inns and sushi restaurants. He honed his skills at various dining establishments, including the kaiseki inn "Rinko-an" in Shiga Prefecture. At the young age of 27, he became the head chef at the kaiseki restaurant "Fujita" in Pontocho. In 1998, he opened "Gion Sasaki" on the north side of Gion Town. In 2002, he relocated to a slightly larger restaurant with about 10 counter seats. In 2006, he opened his current establishment in a house south of Kenjin-ji Temple.
Food "A Moment to Feel the Changing Seasons from a Simple Yet Profound Dish"
With the motto of "only gathering the best without compromise," Mr. Sasaki personally visits markets and fishing grounds to procure exquisite ingredients. The gems of the day are transformed into "a dish of the day" that is not only visually stunning but also maximizes the natural flavors of the ingredients. The moment you take a bite of the dish, you can't help but feel the arrival of spring, as the dessert features a chocolate dome drizzled with berry sauce, creating a delightful moment as it crumbles. This presentation not only captures the essence of the season but also emphasizes a playful spirit.
The "Art of Subtraction" enhances the natural flavors. Experience the innovative and traditional tastes of Kyoto!
Nestled in a corner of Yasaka Street, steeped in the charm of ancient Kyoto, is the renowned kaiseki restaurant "Gion Sasaki," famous for being one of the hardest reservations to secure. The allure li...es in the witty and engaging conversation of the owner, Mr. Sasaki, and the unique style of course meals that begin only after all guests have arrived.
Dishes crafted from seasonal ingredients are presented in a beautiful and vibrant manner, allowing you to rediscover the joy and pleasure of dining.
Experience a new generation of Kyoto cuisine that you can only savor here.
