At HOSHINOYA Guguan, we serve dishes that reflect my belief in re-examining the qualities of everyday ingredients from both a Japanese and Taiwanese perspective. Meals are kaiseki courses prepared with fruit, tea, and other ingredients native to the island. Kaiseki is a vital part of the Japanese hot spring experience; this is our way of respecting the legacy of HOSHINOYA, which was founded a century ago as a hot spring inn. A kaiseki meal requires three elements: exceptional ingredients, meticulous culinary technique, and beautiful dishware that accentuates the experience of the food. A meal may feature sturgeon, prepared using a unique variation on traditional Taiwanese recipes that can ignite a new appreciation for this prized fish. It may be served on Arima, Kutani, Bizen, Oribe, or other high-quality Japanese dishware that compliment or enliven the colors of the food with their bold hues.
The resort restaurant is located beyond a terrace that invites pleasant breezes. Guests are seated at either standard tables or Japanese-style floor-level tables with a sunken space for lowering one's legs, or in private booths that can accommodate up to twelve. The restaurant's contemporary design, high ceilings, and views of the water garden make it the perfect setting for a truly memorable meal.
Fujii developed his Japanese cooking skills while working at HOSHINOYA Karuizawa and other Hoshino Resorts establishments. As Executive Chef of HOSHINOYA Guguan, he employs traditional Japanese culinary techniques to prepare dishes made with the abundant fresh seafood caught off the coasts of Taiwan and the variety of wild vegetables and mushrooms that grow in the Guguan hills. In doing so, he hopes to present guests with refined Japanese meals that reimagine traditional Taiwanese ingredients in innovative and surprising ways.
This kaiseki meal is prepared with ingredients often found in Taiwanese cuisine. Each dish represents a unique fusion of Taiwanese flavors, Japanese culinary techniques, and traditional Japanese dishware--an experience exclusive to HOSHINOYA Guguan.
