Chef"Leading the Golden Generation of French Cuisine with Constant Humility and Progress."

After graduating from the prestigious Paul Bocuse Institute, Chef Yosuke Yamaji studied under the three-Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse, thoroughly re-learning the fundamentals of French cuisine. At the equally three-Michelin-starred Astrance, he honed his skills in selecting ingredients, precise cooking techniques, and seasoning, while also developing his improvisational abilities. He served as the executive sous chef at the restaurant of the world-renowned chef Joël Robuchon, known as the "chef with the most Michelin stars," and held the position of executive chef at Le Ciel de Paris, a key player in transforming the 9th arrondissement of Paris into a culinary hotspot.

Food The course is like a symphony, with the freshest ingredients marrying in your mouth.

The chef, who has spent 11 years in France, has come to regard the madam at his homestay as a true mother. He goes to the market with her and stands in the kitchen every weekend to learn home cooking. At the Paul Bocuse Institute, a boarding school, he exchanges national dishes with friends from 35 different countries every day and learns specialties from around the world. And then there’s Japan. When the chef feels the potential of the ingredients from Kyoto, he is like a child. What kind of magic will he create today? The customers are eagerly looking forward to it.

Drink"Exceptional Wine at Reasonable Prices: That's the Owner's Motto!"

The owner, Yamachi, conducted daily tastings of three wines for three years before returning to Japan, always alongside sommeliers and wine merchants. "Of course, knowledge of wine is necessary, but what’s important is whether the wine is good or bad. If the first glass is delicious, I want to drink a second one, but the price is also a concern. If we price the wine as reasonably as possible, customers can enjoy two glasses, and the shop benefits from their patronage as well. It’s a win-win situation."

Space"Wrapped in the warmth of natural light, greenery, and trees, a special moment with a loved one"

In 2015, 'Yamachi Yosuke', resembling a traditional Japanese inn, opened on the main street of Gion, the most famous geisha district in Japan. Upon stepping into the establishment, you are greeted by a botanical space filled with nature. There are table seats overlooking a garden created by a master craftsman and counter seats at an open kitchen, with the exceptionally comfortable "The Chair" completing the "ultimate healing space." The first floor also features semi-private rooms, making it ideal for business meetings and anniversaries (the success rate for proposals is 100%).
