ChefTakashi Ito (Ito Takeji) - Expressing Rich Flavors with Local Ingredients
Born in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture in 1970. After graduating from culinary school, he trained in Japanese cuisine in Kyoto. In 1998, he succeeded his father and became the third head of "Hirayama-sou," establishing the current style of a cooking inn. Based on the techniques and spirit of Kyoto cuisine, he expresses the rustic "Yamanobe cuisine" using ingredients that match the climate of Shiga. In 2011, he received the Bronze Award at the 2nd Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry "Culinary Masters" competition.
Experience the seasonal flavors at "Hirayama-so," where summer sweetfish and winter bear hot pot have been beloved for years.
Nestled under the eaves of a charming traditional Japanese house, the clear waters of the Hira River turn the waterwheel. Established in 1959 by the third-generation chef Koji Ito, "Hirayama-so" has s...et the standard for a culinary inn. Since then, it has continued to satisfy the appetites of guests with dishes that celebrate the flavors of each season. Enjoy spring wild vegetables, summer sweetfish, autumn matsutake mushrooms grilled over charcoal, and winter hot pots featuring local bear and boar. The garnishes on each plate are personally foraged by the owner, adding vibrant colors to the dishes. Utilizing ingredients nurtured by the rich and diverse land of Shiga, including the Hira Mountains and Lake Biwa, Chef Ito expertly crafts each dish, showcasing the essence of "Yamanobe cuisine."
