The gala dinner presented by Chef Nozaki Hiromitsu features a refined and delicate "11-course Kaiseki" menu wishing for good health during the summer season. Kaiseki is a traditional Japanese banquet-style course meal where various dishes are served sequentially in small bowls.


At this event, guests can enjoy a variety of summer seasonal health-boosting ingredients such as domestic eel, sweetfish, cutlassfish, abalone, and sea urchin roe. The menu includes five types of appetizers, five types of pancakes, seasonal sashimi, eel dishes, grilled abalone with seaweed, grilled lobster with miso, and sea urchin rice cooked in a pot, among other preparations. Each dish embodies the unique and delicate cooking techniques of Chef Nozaki, a master of Japanese Kaiseki.


In the past, Seoul Shilla Hotel invited Chef Nozaki to hold gala dinners seven times until 2020, but the events were suspended for three years due to COVID-19 and have resumed this year.


Chef Nozaki Hiromitsu, invited to this event, is the owner-chef of the traditional Kaiseki specialty restaurant "Wakedokuyama." The "Wakedokuyama" restaurant opened in 1989 in Nishi-Azabu, a high-end dining district in Tokyo. It offers Japanese formal dining that highlights the natural flavors of ingredients and was awarded two Michelin stars for eight consecutive years starting in 2010.



A representative from Shilla Hotel stated, "In Japan, 'Doyo no Ushi no Hi' is considered the day to eat eel, and we have prepared a health-boosting Kaiseki course featuring eel and other dishes by the Kaiseki master for Malbok, the last heat wave of this unusually hot summer. We are also preparing various promotions to continue showcasing global gourmet experiences."
