Our Story

East meets West in the kitchen,
and the result is delicious!

The GORO-AWASE of Gyotaku: Japanese wordplay
If you do not speak or read Japanese, you might assume that the name, ‘GYOTAKU,’ might be a place or a family name. Instead, co-owner, Tony Sato cleverly combined two Japanese words and kanjis (the symbols) to create a unique identity for the business. Since the meaning of a Japanese word or phrase can be altered or distorted due to nuances of pronunciation and written kanjis (which may change the meaning), the culture embraces this innate quality in the art of wordplay.

“When I started thinking of a name for our restaurant, I pored over a Japanese dictionary for over a week. I made a list of about 20 words and phrases that I liked. The word for fish print jumped out at me—‘GYOTAKU’.”

“First of all, I liked the way this word sounded very similar to the name of ‘KYOTARU’. Tom and I met while working there, and Kyotaru is a very well established name. People recognize ‘KYOTARU’ and they think of sushi.”

“I also knew we would need a lot of artwork to fill the many empty walls in the Pearl City restaurant. I have a friend, Naoki, who creates beautiful gyotaku art in Hawaii, and he had already offered to help. Gyotaku (gyo “fish” + taku “rubbing”) is a traditional form of Japanese fish printing, in which an actual fish is placed on a surface and then painted on one side with sumi ink. Next the artist places a piece of paper over the ink-covered fish, and rubs the material until the image of the fish is transferred to it.”

“Third, I liked the fact that ‘GYO’ means fish which is a main ingredient in Japanese cooking. However, the original kanji character for ‘TAKU’ means ‘PRESS,’ and that didn’t suggest anything about food. It also wasn’t original. The traditional “GYOTAKU” kanji conjures up the image of fishing supplies or deep sea fishing tours to the people of Japan.”

“I swapped the ‘TAKU’ kanji to a different one, that happens to be pronounced the same, but means, ‘TABLE’. This new combination of kanji characters translates as ‘FISH ON THE TABLE’, but still has the second meaning of “FISH ART.’ Perfect for a Japanese restaurant!”
