Our environmental and social efforts

Reducing food waste

We roast shrimp heads and fish bones and leftover parts in the oven to make soup stock for cooking rice. We also use vegetable peels, like those from asparagus, to create broth for our rice. We turn vegetable trimmings into tempura for our staff meal, ensuring that we use all ingredients without waste.

Our sustainability efforts

Our staff uniforms are made from fabric called "True Cotton," which we purchase and create ourselves. For our take away bento boxes, we use bamboo containers instead of plastic. Previously, we used bottled water for making our soup stock, but now we have installed an ion exchange membrane filter on our water purifier to reduce our use of plastic bottles.

The information provided by the restaurant is shown. For details or questions, please contact the restaurant.

ChefShiro Yamazaki: A Refreshing New Breeze in the World of Japanese Cuisine

Born in Tokyo in 1987, he is a young powerhouse pioneering new frontiers in Japanese cuisine. After training for eight years at the prestigious Akasaka restaurant "Morikawa," which operates on a completely referral-based system, he became independent. In August 2018, he opened "Yamazaki." Drawing on traditional Japanese culinary techniques as a foundation, he incorporates experiences from different genres, such as "Chiu Ne" and "Aka," where he worked before opening his restaurant, to create a variety of unique Japanese dishes that are unlike any other. He is also a certified sommelier, enhancing his distinctive world of Japanese cuisine with carefully selected fine wines.

Food "Heart Dancing, Tongue Delighted: Exquisite Japanese Cuisine Worthy of Attention"

The dishes at this restaurant are based on traditional Japanese cuisine, yet they possess a charm that transcends the boundaries of washoku (Japanese food). There are no hassun (appetizers) or sashimi; instead, the specialty is the charcoal-grilled soft-shelled turtle, which is rich in robust flavors. The carefully prepared clear soup with dashi and the perfectly topped clay pot rice showcase the ingredients' natural flavors to the fullest, resulting in a refined taste. Additionally, the ability to construct flavors that range from light to rich and from subtle to bold is truly remarkable. Dishes that exceed expectations are served with fluidity, captivating the eyes and palates of the guests.

Space"Enchanted by the Taste of Gems, a Japanese Space Filled with Freedom and Pure Atmosphere"

The white wooden counter, the lantern lighting from the cedar shoji, the plaster walls and ceiling... As you pass through the crimson noren with the shop's name elegantly cut out in white, you enter a refined Japanese space. In addition to the L-shaped counter with eight seats where you can observe the chef's craftsmanship, there is also a private room that can accommodate up to four people. You can relax and immerse yourself in a tranquil and pure world of "onko chishin" (learning from the past), while savoring the Japanese cuisine served. In this interior filled with the youthful and fresh sensibility of the young owner, you can indulge in a new culinary experience.
