From the chef
His diligent studies at famed restaurants have unlocked the essence of Japanese cuisine

Born in 1969, in Shizoka Prefecture's Shizuoka City. After graduating from high school he studied at traditional Japanese restaurants in Shizoka. After that, he trained in Kyoto and Tokushima, before opening the restaurant Shunkashuto Hanamikoji in Shizuoka in 1999. In 2003 he opened Ginza Koju in Ginza, Tokyo, and in 2007 that restaurant earned a 3-star rating in the Michelin Guide to Tokyo-Yokohama-Shonan. He continues to earn those stars seven years later.

Ginza Koju
Ginza, Tokyo
Japanese / Kaiseki (course menu)
The Reasons Why I Recommend.
Chef Yamamoto is a cook who I think is a genius. I still think about him when I cook. The place of study was the same, but it is a special skill. I have a feeling of admiration for him.

Ginza Koju
Ginza, Tokyo
Japanese / Kaiseki (course menu)
The Reasons Why I Recommend.
It is a shop I was part-time job for the first time. It is a popular tavern in the local area. There are a lot of original and delicious things such as “Motu curry simmered”.
