From the chef
Ms. Izumi is the owner who proposes unique pairings based on her deep knowledge of sake.
She was born in Kyoto. Fascinated by the depth of sake, with its various flavors and aromas, she entered the restaurant business. In 2023, she opened GION Yamaneko as an owner. Since she is a sake expert and used to manage a shochu bar, she has extensive knowledge of pairing with food. She is also a certified senior koji (rice molt) specialist and is familiar with fermented foods, koji foods, and beverages, which is why she is planning to make homemade doburoku (unrefined sake) and amazake (sweet rice drink) at the bar.
