ChefHiroaki Tokuyama - Showcasing Masterful Fermentation Techniques

Born in Shiga Prefecture in 1960. He honed his skills at "Kawashige" in Kyoto and refined his techniques. After returning to his hometown, he became the head chef of a ryokan (traditional inn). During this time, he received advice from Mr. Takeo Koizumi, who was the director of the "Yogo Research Institute of the Japan Fermentation Foundation" at the time, and in 2004, he opened "Tokuyama Sushi." He delights his guests with unique fermented dishes, including the traditional "jukuzushi" that has been passed down in Omi for generations.

Food "An Artistic Dish that Reveals a New Side of Ingredients"

Many food enthusiasts are captivated by the delicate charm of fermented dishes, which are the main attraction. Among them, the "Funazushi" made with Nigoro-buna caught in Lake Yogo is a masterpiece that can be said to be the result of Mr. Tokuyama's efforts. After re-learning about fermentation culture and pursuing it, the completed "Funazushi" has almost no unpleasant odor, and what fills the mouth is only the rich umami. It is sliced thinly for easy eating, allowing one to enjoy a flavor reminiscent of cheese. With a carefully selected fine sake in hand, I want to savor its unique taste little by little.

Space"Standing by the Shimmering Lake Yogo, a Healing Gourmet Space"

The "Tokuyama Sushi," characterized by its calm and composed presence, welcomes you as you pass under the noren (fabric curtain) protected by a small tiled roof. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a space filled with the rich atmosphere of traditional Japanese aesthetics. From the large window that first catches your eye, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the tranquil surface of Lake Yogo, where the abundant nature provides a soothing experience for visitors. This gourmet inn possesses such a significant charm that it makes sightseeing feel like an afterthought, and surrounded by the changing landscapes of the four seasons, one can indulge in a luxurious moment.
