Enjoy the Finest Fresh Fish in Sake Gaku
"Gaku, Fish and Sake" is located right next to the Goryokaku Park tram stop in Hakodate. It is highly rated by locals and tourists visiting Hakodate, who can enjoy elaborate, small-restaurant-style dishes using seasonal ingredients. The restaurant purchases fish daily from a long-time fishmonger at the Hakodate Jiyu Ichiba in Shinkawa-cho, known as the "chef's kitchen" of Hakodate, and the carefully selected ingredients for dishes such as "raw tuna" and "hairy crab in the shell" are all fresh and of high quality. Depending on the season, rare seafood is sometimes available, and it is a pleasant surprise to see rare fish such as "spotted bonito," which is caught in small quantities.
Expertly-Cut Live Squid Sashimi
The recommended menu item is "Live Squid Sashimi," which the owner prepares in a special way. Fresh squid is filleted into two pieces, while larger squid is filleted into three pieces and thinly sliced. The squid legs are also prepared according to the recommended method at the time. This is a must-order menu item for tourists visiting Hakodate City.
Enjoy the Perfect Pairing of Food and Exceptional Drinks
In addition to local sake from Hokkaido breweries such as "Goryou," "Goho," "Niseko," and "Fukuji," the store offers a wide selection of famous brands and hidden gems from all over Japan carefully selected by the owner. Enjoy pairing sake with a variety of dishes such as "grilled filleted Atka mackerel," "live squid sashimi," and "appetizers with sujiko (salted roe of the cod fish)."
