Gotoken is a small chain of restaurants located in Hakodate and Sapporo (for Sapporo location see below). Gotoken was founded by Sotaro Wakayama way back in 1879. These restaurants are certainly immersed in history. The first chef and co founder, Hidekichi Goshima fought in the battle of Hakodate with the shogunate army in 1897. The next generation, Tokujiro Wakayama, learned French cooking techniques at the Imperial Hotel. He introduced these extra techniques and ingredients to make Gotoken a successful restaurant that has survived over a hundred years.
With this in mind, Gotoken has a built up a broad menu of western style dishes. Besides the single dishes available, they have a dozen course plans which are delicious. There is a ‘Meiji Western Food and Curry’ set which incorporates dishes back from this era, a mix of British and Japanese flavors. Gotoken has a mix of French cuisine, Russian cuisine, and Italian just to name a few. Gotoken is also known for its curry sets. They have a Gotoken Curry restaurant at the Goryokaku Tower in Hakodate. Plus if you like something sweeter, there is a sweets shop as part of the restaurant chain.
