  • This month’s theme : A season born on fragrant winds

    As the fresh greenery flourishes and the breeze carries the scent of young leaves, May arrives, known as the season of fragrant winds.
    This month at Yamashiroya Shouzou, we celebrate this fleeting beauty with a special course themed around "fragrance," using the finest seasonal ingredients to evoke the freshness and aromas of early summer.
    To open the course, we present seasonal bonito, delicately smoked over Kyoto bancha tea, offering a vibrant yet gentle start filled with aromatic richness.
    Throughout the course, we weave in fragrant ingredients essential to Japanese cuisine — such as wasabi, kinome (young sansho leaves), and sansho pepper — while also embracing aromatic elements beyond tradition, bringing a relaxed yet refined touch unique to Yamashiroya Shouzou.
    Come and experience a season born on fragrant winds, through a menu that captures the spirit of early summer.

  • This month’s theme : The Hamo Fish Course.

    Our July theme is " The Hamo Fish Course." A summer in Kyoto would not be complete without "hamo" (conger eel). In the old days, obtaining fresh fish in the central part of Kyoto, located inland, was quite challenging. Only the hardy hamo could survive the poor transportation conditions and be delivered live to Kyoto. However, the hamo has many small bones and cannot be eaten as it is. Therefore, ancient chefs invented a cooking method called "honekiri," where they make 26 cuts per inch, making it possible to eat the bony hamo. Hamo prepared using this traditional cooking method is simply exquisite.
    At Yamashiroya Shozo, a Kyoto-style kaiseki restaurant, we have prepared a menu in August that allows you to enjoy hamo in various ways, including honekiri hamo, hamo eggs, bones, and the rich broth that can be extracted from them.
    It is undeniably a “Hamo Feast." Come and enjoy the unique and creatively arranged hamo dishes that only Yamashiroya Shozo can offer.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • This month’s theme : Summer Purification Rites

    The theme of the June menu is Nagoshi no Harae (Summer Purification Rites), a Shinto ritual observed on June 30th. This tradition marks the midpoint of the year and involves purifying oneself of the impurities accumulated over the past six months, while praying for good health in the coming half-year. In Kyoto, a traditional sweet called Minazuki is essential for Nagoshi no Harae. This confection is associated with the Ice Festival, celebrated on the first day of the sixth month in the old lunar calendar. During this festival, people would cool off with ice to ward off the summer heat. Since ice was a rare and precious commodity for commoners, they created a sweet resembling ice to symbolize and pray for their well-being. Minazuki Tofu is a dish based on this confection. Our menu features Minazuki Tofu as an appetizer, embodying our wishes for everyone’s good health and safety.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • This month’s theme : Usui

    Our theme for February’s menu is “Usui.” Usui is the season when snow turns into rain, and the snow and the ice on the ground turn into water. The severe cold starts to get milder and the snow starts to melt. It’s the start of a spring-like season when plants start to bloom. We picked Usui as the theme of February and expressed the changes in this season through our course meals, from appetizers to desserts. We hope you enjoy your meal feeling that the spring is just around the corner.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • This month’s theme : White Snow

    The theme for our January menu is "Shirayuki" or "White Snow." It's the season when snow-covered landscapes grace many places in Japan. Words like "shirayuki" (pure white snow), "sasameyuki" (fine snowflakes), "konayuki" (powdery snow), "awayuki" (snow drizzle), “watayuki” (cotton snow), and more, reflect the depth of Japanese sentiment in capturing the essence of snow. This time, we’ve selected "shirayuki" as the main theme for our January menu. From the appetizers to the desserts, the menu is crafted to conjure the image of pure white snow. While snow is typically associated with cold weather, this menu aims to impart a cozy atmosphere by highlighting the warmth of the dishes, aided by the presentation and tableware.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Shiwasu（the twelfth month of the lunar calendar）is fuyugomori

    December is "Shiwasu（the twelfth month of the lunar calendar）is fuyugomori".
    The term "fuyugomori" originally refers to the hibernation of brown bears. It is a behavior where they gather nutrients during the cold winter and store energy for spring activities. That's why in December, we prepared a menu with more warm and nutritious dishes than usual, hoping that you will get enough nutrients during this cold winter. We have also put effort into the presentation, so please enjoy the visually appealing dishes.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Japanese harvest ritual

    The theme for November’s menu is “Shimotsuki is Niiname-sai (The Month of Frost is a time for the Japanese harvest ritual).”
    The character “name” in “Niiname-sai”—a festival during which thanks are given for that year’s harvest, and prayers are offered for a fruitful new year—means to “taste the flavor.” Since ancient times, rice and wheat have been highly treasured crops in Japan. Here at Yamashiroya, we also express our gratitude for the rice and wheat harvests in November, and we prepare these ingredients with great care and respect, and provide them to our guests in our own, unique way.
    We hope you will enjoy the “taste” at “Yamashiroya’s Niiname-sai.”
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Kannaduki (the tenth month of the lunar calendar) is aging

    October’s theme is “Kannaduki (the tenth month of the lunar calendar) is aging.”
    Through aging, the flavors round out and the food develop different colors and aromas, and even the texture transforms. The wines regularly served at Yamashiroya also become more flavorful when aged for a certain period after fermentation. Speaking of aging, aged meats enjoyed widespread popularity some time ago. Being a Japanese restaurant, instead of meat, we age fish and vegetables and serve them to customers when they taste the best. As we advance further into the fall season, we invite you to savor the delightful combination of Kyoto Kuzushi Kappo (Kyoto-style Fusion) cuisine and aged food.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Nagatsuki (the nineth month of the lunar calendar) is Chemistry

    September’s theme is “Nagatsuki (the nineth month of the lunar calendar) is Chemistry.” Chemistry is a subject that studies how substances transform into something else. Cooking is closely related to chemistry in the sense that chemistry is used to change food ingredients to become delicious when cooking. For example, mayonnaise that everyone is familiar with is made using the emulsification of oil and vinegar not separating due to the functions of the lecithins in the egg yolk. Another example is how meat becomes more flavorful when grilled at high heat. This is due to the Maillard reaction caused by glucose and amino acids. As these examples show, cooking is an application of science. As you enjoy the changes in the season from summer to fall, also enjoy the collaboration of Kyo Kuzushi Kappo X Chemistry.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Hazuki (the eighth month of the lunar calendar) is the Hamo Fish Course

    Our August theme is " Hazuki (the eighth month of the lunar calendar) is the Hamo Fish Course." A summer in Kyoto would not be complete without "hamo" (conger eel). In the old days, obtaining fresh fish in the central part of Kyoto, located inland, was quite challenging. Only the hardy hamo could survive the poor transportation conditions and be delivered live to Kyoto. However, the hamo has many small bones and cannot be eaten as it is. Therefore, ancient chefs invented a cooking method called "honekiri," where they make 26 cuts per inch, making it possible to eat the bony hamo. Hamo prepared using this traditional cooking method is simply exquisite.
    At Yamashiroya Shozo, a Kyoto-style kaiseki restaurant, we have prepared a menu in August that allows you to enjoy hamo in various ways, including honekiri hamo, hamo eggs, bones, and the rich broth that can be extracted from them.
    It is undeniably a “Hamo Feast." Come and enjoy the unique and creatively arranged hamo dishes that only Yamashiroya Shozo can offer.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

    July’s theme is “Fumizuki (the seventh month of the lunar calendar) is spice.” In this hot season, we have prepared some spicy Japanese cuisine of Kyo Kuzushi Kappo. Spice is good in summer heat because it stimulates sweat and gastrointestinal functions. Because we have also added unique flavors and colors to it, please enjoy many different dishes you will not be able to taste anywhere else. The stew is made with mizansho (green Japanese peppercorns), one of Japan’s main spices. Please enjoy the spicy mizansho’s unique flavor. For the appetizer, we simmer Cha-mi-ton pork from Kagoshima Prefecture in a sweet and aromatic star anise sauce. Sweet potato is nectar stewed with lemongrass. It is a refreshing summer dish with a lemon aroma. Please enjoy our menu which uses spices from all over the world.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Minazuki (the sixth month of the lunar calendar) is Smoked Food

    The theme for June, “Minazuki (the sixth month of the lunar calendar) is Smoked Food." Smoked food is a preserved food made by smoking salted ingredients with woodfire to give them a unique smoky aroma. Some typical examples include salmon, bacon, and cheese. Common Japanese smoked food include katsuobushi (bonito flakes) and Akita's smoked pickled daikon radish, among others.
    This month, we have incorporated smoked ingredients into our dishes and crafted a Kyoto-style kaiseki menu with smoked food. The starter, known as Hatsugatsuo no Tataki, is traditionally smoked with straw fire, but we used hojicha (roasted tea) to smoke it, enhancing the subtle aroma and umami flavor of the katsuo (bonito).
    The soup dishes feature scallops, which are in season, cooked in the Shinjo-style. We hope you enjoy the soup broth extracted solely from bonito flakes, a rare case for Yamashiroya which is well-known for uncommon soup broths. You will surely appreciate bonito flakes’ reputation as Japan’s classic smoked food ingredient after tasting this dish. We look forward to serving you meals that include many smoked dishes in various dishes.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Satsuki (fifth month of the lunar calendar) is fermentation

    The theme for May is "Satsuki (fifth month of the lunar calendar) is fermentation." Fermentation is the process of using microorganisms to enhance the flavor of food such as umami and sweetness, making it more delicious. Fermented foods contain plenty of antioxidants and good bacteria that improve gut health, benefiting not just your health but also beauty. Therefore, in May, we are serving Kyoto-style cuisine that features fermented foods from around the world. We also have homemade fermented foods available, such as nukazuke for appetizers and Amami-Oshima's fermented rice and sweet potatoes, called miki. For the amuse-bouche, pork and beef ham as well as preserved sardines will be served in a traditional hassun tray. Our steamed dish is a combination of fermented tomatoes and saury fish. We hope you enjoy the taste of homemade fermentation.

  • Uzuki (fourth month of the lunar calendar) is local cuisine

    The theme of our menu for April is regional cuisine. Regional cuisine refers to dishes that have been handed down from one generation to the next in a particular region, prepared in a manner unique to that region using ingredients that have taken root in the region over time. However, food distribution, processing, and storage technology have become so modernized today that the regional qualities of food have started to wane.
    In view of this, our menu for this month features a completely new combination of regional cuisines from all over Japan never attempted before, ranging from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, presented in the style of “Kyo-kuzushi kappo.”
    We hope you will get to experience the wonderful culinary culture of Japan that is gradually being forgotten.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Festivals of Early Flower Month

    The theme of the February menu is “Festivals of Early Flower Month.” Early Flower Month, also known as February, is named after the first flowers that bloom in the year, which are plums. Although many people think of cherry blossoms when they hear the word “flower”, the first flowers of the year are actually plums. This is why the traditional Japanese calendar calls February the Early Flower Month.
    Changing the subject, February is a month with many famous events. Here at Yamashiroya Shozan, we have created menus based on the themes of the events such as “First Horse Day”, “Setsubun” and “Valentine's Day”. This year, we will prepare a menu that incorporates all these festivals, and also makes use of the plums which is the first flower of the year. We believe that by enjoying the course to the end, you will be able to fully experience February.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Winter Solstice

    The theme of December’s menu is “winter solstice”. The winter solstice is the day with the longest night and the shortest daytime each year. Therefore, the sun’s strength is at its lowest ebb on this day. After this day, however, the sun’s strength begins to return, making the winter solstice an optimistic time. For this reason, it is said that our fortunes begin to rise after the winter solstice.
    Ingredients relating to the winter solstice include pumpkin (seven hibernal flowers), adzuki, and yuzu.
    For the appetizer, we ward against bad luck before calling for the good. We prepared adzuki as the appetizer because they are said to have the power to protect against misfortune.
    Everyone likes to take a yuzu bath on the winter solstice. This comes from a play on words: taking the baths to cure sickness (touji) on the winter solstice (touji). Yuzu is therefore used to flavor the ricotta cheese palate cleanser.
    Pumpkins are summer vegetables, but because they can be stored for a long time, they were a valuable source of nutrition during the winter months when food was scarce. Eating pumpkin is meant to give encouragement to help us make it through the harsh winter.
    For December we have prepared a menu in the hopes of keeping you in good health and improving your fortunes. Please come and enjoy the food to help bring in the new year.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Kotatsu Opening

    The theme for November’s menu is “Kotatsu Opening.” November will bring more cold days. It’s the time of year when we wonder when we should take out our heater. In the old days, people would open the kotatsu on the day of the Boar (old lunar calendar), so it is said that it’s a good time to bring out the heater. Thus, we welcome you to the November theme, “Kotatsu Opening,” with a menu that is just like a kotatsu, warming your body and soul on a cold day. Since “Kotatsu Opening” is done on the day of the Boar, we have prepared a dish of pickled melon and mackerel, named after the child of a boar, Uribo. The grilled mackerel and the sweetness of the pickled melon are a perfect match. The next bowl is mizore soup with Shogoin Kyoto turnips. This wintery dish is made with grated turnips to express the mizore. The soup is made with light kudzu sauce, so it does not get cold easily and you can enjoy the hot broth. It’s natural to eat tangerines when sitting under a kotatsu. For the appetizer, we served tangerines with shira-ae. Other dishes are also served with kudzu sauce, so please enjoy the warmth of our food.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Autumn leaves

    The theme for October’s menu is “autumn leaves”. In autumn, leaves turn beautiful colors, enveloping the town in beautiful scenery. Autumn leaves are as popular as cherry blossoms are in spring. This is why, for October, we chose to use red autumn leaves as a theme for our dishes. From appetizer to hassun dish, everything will follow this theme. “Momiji” is the name given to the leaves of maple trees when they change color, and are one of the most notable examples of autumn leaves, which has resulted in the Japanese word for autumn leaves to be read as “momiji”. Our dishes will be served in red dishes inspired by their color, and are sure to be a feast for the eyes.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Kiri-hito-ha

    The theme for September’s menu is kiri-hito-ha, a kigo, or poetic seasonal phrase meaning, “a single Paulownia leaf.” Among the many trees that shed their leaves in the fall, the Paulownia is the very first to do so. It is when watching the Paulownia leaf fall that we learn that fall has arrived. This is the scene that kiri-hito-ha depicts. Yamashiro-ya Shozo’s menu for September will make you feel the beginnings of autumn. For our appetizer, we have used chrystanthemums in honor of the seasonal Chrysanthemum festival. The wan-mono (wooden bowl) dish that follows also evokes autumn with cosmos (also known as “autumn cherry blossoms”) scattered on the dish. Among our hassun (small dishes), we have prepared tsukimi-dango, or “moon-viewing mochi,” in the likeness of Japanese silver grass, reminiscent of the season of the harvest moon. We hope you enjoy these and many other dishes in the theme of kiri-hito-ha that are full with ingredients that will make you experience the coming of fall.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Hamo-centric Dishes

    The theme of our menu for July is “Hamo-centric Dishes.” One of the three major festivals in Kyoto, the Gion Festival is also known as the Hamo (pike conger) Festival. July, the month when the Gion Festival is held, is also the time of the year when consumption of hamo is at its highest. It used to be very difficult to find fresh fish in central Kyoto in the past due to its inland location. Despite the poor transport links, hamo was the only fish that could be transported alive to Kyoto thanks to the fortitude of the fish. However, hamo has many tiny bones, making it impossible to consume directly. For this reason, cooks in ancient times devised a culinary technique called honekiri, where 26 fine cuts are made per inch of hamo to make the fish edible even with its tiny bones. Hamo prepared using this traditional culinary technique is exquisite. For July, Yamashiroya Shozo’s Kyo-kuzushi Kappo will be serving a menu that features not only hamo prepared using the honekiri method but also hamo roe, liver, bones, as well as dashi broth simmered with hamo, that you will surely enjoy.
    Our “Hamo-centric Dishes” menu will allow you to experience hamo dishes that bring the unique ideas of Yamashiroya Shozo to life.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Samidare

    The menu theme for June is "Samidare." Samidare refers to the rain during the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which corresponds to June in the modern calendar. In other words, it is a reference to the rainy season. The term was used as an alternate name for the fifth month under the lunar calendar system.
    What comes to your mind when you think about the rainy season? Many people probably associate it with snails and hydrangeas. That is why we serve escargot with fresh seasonal potatoes for the tsukidashi (appetizer). The wanmono (soup) is hydrangea soup. Since actual hydrangea plants are poisonous, we prepared soup resembling the appearance of hydrangeas for your visual enjoyment. We have also prepared other dishes connected with the rainy season, such as plums and shigureni, which we hope you will enjoy.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

Since ancient times, Japan has revered the moon, with the people enjoying lunar-viewing parties as part of the festivities that encompass the celebrations of the fall harvest.
    The “Harvest Moon” menu of September makes lavish use of autumn ingredients such as sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and beans, as we celebrate the harvests of the fall season.

  • The Hamo Fish Course.

    The theme for July is the Hamo Fish Course.
    An indispensable summer dish in Kyoto, hamo (pike conger) is widely enjoyed as a seasonal taste from early summer onward.
    The fish is said to grow up drinking the waters of the rainy season, and reaches its peak season around the time of the Gion Festival, at the end of the rainy season.
    Because of its many small bones, hamo cannot be eaten as it is. A cooking method called "bone cutting" is used. Hamo bone cutting is a showcase for the skills of a Kyoto cuisine chef, even appearing in an expression proclaiming the task to be a test of mastery. A true chef is said to be able to place the blade so as to cut 26 bones every three centimeters.
    Yamashiroya Shozo carefully performs filleting and bone cutting for each and every hamo sent directly from the producing area in Oita Prefecture. We invite you to enjoy the Hamo Course, featuring an assortment of seasonal hamo throughout.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • The 118th Night.

    June’s theme is The 118th Night.
    At Yamashiroya Shozo, we had planned our May menu around the theme The 88th Night of Spring, but had to suspend business due to the state of emergency declaration. We are approaching June full of regret without having been able to present our 88th Night menu to you all even once. For that reason, although it is a month late, we are delighted to offer you our 88th Night menu in June, restyled 30 days later as The 118th Night. We eagerly look forward to sharing the joy of eating out with you.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • The eighty eighth night

    The theme for May is The Eighty eighth Night. The Eighty-eighth Night is the eighty eighth day after Risshun, the beginning of spring. This is the time when spring becomes summer, and weather becomes warm and mild; it marks the beginning of the season for sowing rice seeds and picking tea. There is a saying that if you drink fresh with fresh tea leaves harvested on the eighty eighth night, you can ward off illness. We have therefore included plenty of tea related ingredients in this month’s menu.
    Try the fragrant tea soba noodles served with a peanut sauce for an appetizer. Next, enjoy the fragrance of tea with tea sesame tofu and fresh tea leaf bud tempura. For the main dish, we have Chamiton pork from Kagoshima, made using pigs raised on a diet of tea leaves. The Chamiton pork is cooked in hojicha, wrapped in fresh magnolia leaf, and steamed with fresh grated potatoes. Take the opportunity to enjoy Yamashiroya Shozo's unique Kyoto Kuzushi Kappou (avant garde Kyoto cuisine) made using tea related ingredients.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Cherry Blossom Viewing

    The theme for April’s recipes is “Hanami”. “Hanami”—watching cherry blossoms to celebrate the coming of spring—is one of Japan’s oldest traditions.
    Cherry blossoms or sakura fall off the tree branches after blooming in just 2 short weeks, and the beautiful scenery of the flowers fluttering in the wind is often likened to how fragile life is.
    This month’s course starts from mini plate appetizers that resemble lunchboxes for hanami picnics. The mini plates contain hanami dumplings and Kyoto egg sandwich with savory rolled omelletes, made to resemble lunchbox items. Next, we have bamboo shoot soup, a typical seasonal ingredient in spring. To allow you to enjoy lots of rice wine during your hanami, turmeric is mixed into the soup stock, making it an alcohol detox. The main dish is horse meat. Horse meat is also called sakura meat, making it the perfect meat for this season. Other than that, the dishes are also sprinkled with sakura petals.
    Please savor your meal as if you were at a hanami picnic at Yamashiroya Shozo.
    Enjoy a unique “neo-Kyoto haute cuisine” at Yamashiroya Shozo.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Breath of Spring

    The theme of our March menu is "Breath of Spring". The Breath of Spring is what makes us feel the arrival of spring, and the life that it brings. As this is being written, in February, it is still cold, but the first breath of spring has come, and we are starting to see warmer days. Spring is already around the corner.
    The end of winter is expressed with our Deep-fried Bamboo Shoots with Coconut and Lingering Snow Espuma, an appetizer that has become a staple in the Breath of Spring, and brings anticipation for spring's arrival. It is the beginning of the course. In the bowls and simmered dishes, the warmth of spring is expressed by our cherry-red soup and bean paste, and the wild vegetables used throughout the course give you a sense of the strength of life.
    Visit Yamashiro-ya Shozo and try our original Kyoto Kuzushi cuisine.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Setsubun（bean-throwing day）

    February’s menu theme is “Setsubun.” “Setsubun” once refered to the day before the beginning of spring, summer, autumn, or winter. In Japan’s lunar calendar, the new year began in the spring, so Setsubun, the day before the beginning of spring, was an important day, and was the equivalent of New Year's Eve. Therefore, the Setsubun before spring was considered important, and the word Setsubun came to refer to this day. The well known bean-throwing ceremony is an event to purge evil spirits to welcome the New Year as well.
    We use seasonal ingredients and traditional culinary techniques to prepare the unique “Kyo-kuzushi kappo” of Yamashiroya.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Pure White

    The colors of the meals in the plan are also made to be “white” so that it will be a feast for the eyes as well. As was written by Yutaka Hara in a haiku poem, “Roast some mochi, and turn over the leaf to a new year”, let’s reflect on the previous year and look ahead to the new year with renewed hopes and resolutions. We use seasonal ingredients and traditional culinary techniques to prepare the unique “Kyo-kuzushi kappo” of Yamashiroya.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.

  • Torino-Ichi（Poultry Fair）

    Our theme for November’s menu is Torino-Ichi. Taking place upon each day of the rooster in November, Torino-Ichi (Poultry Fair) is a festival where people pray for good fortune and prosperity. Celebrated at Otori-jinja shrines across the Kanto region, the festival dates back to the Edo period, and was even featured in classic ukiyo-e prints and Ichiyo Higuchi’s novella“Takekurabe”.
    Participants in the festival buy special good luck charms known as engi-kumade (lucky rakes), and pray for wealth and prosperity in the coming year. These engi-kumade are said to “rake in fortune” and “sweep up blessings”. They are also bought to “snatch up good fortune”, and for this purpose they mimic the talons of an eagle (washi), a reference to the Japanese verb washitsugamu, meaning to snatch or grab.
    Additionally, charms of different sizes are sold, and there is a custom of buying one size bigger than you bought the previous year, in the hopes that the coming year will be more prosperous than the previous one.
    At Yamashiro Shozo this month, we are drawing upon this ancient and wonderful cultural tradition, and interpreting it through our unique “Kyo-kuzushi kappo”.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Red Maple Leaf Hunting

    The theme for October’s menu is “Red Maple Leaf Hunting.” Aristocrats of the Heian period admired many flowers such as cherry and wisteria blossoms, but in point of fact, autumn maple leaves are rarely mentioned. Cherry trees were planted in the Imperial Palace and at the estates of the aristocracy, but enjoying the autumn colors required an excursion to the mountains. Originally, the same word used for hunting animals was used to refer to the activity, as Heian aristocrats used to say jokingly that they were going hunting when they went to appreciate the autumn leaves.
    We created a menu based on this time-honored culture of autumn foliage viewing, with dishes that evoke the imagery of red autumn leaves. Please enjoy Yamashiroya Shozo’s unique interpretation of innovative Kyoto cuisine.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • All Matsutake Mushrooms

    The concept of the September menu is ”All Matsutake Mushrooms.” Matsutake mushrooms and other mushrooms are mentioned in old historical Japanese texts such as The Nihon Shoki/The Chronicles of Japan and Manyoshu. The Kokin Wakashū　(an anthology of Japanese waka poetry) written during the Heian period has poems about how aristocrats enjoyed matsutake mushroom hunting as a seasonal event. There is a saying, “Matsutake mushrooms smell excellent, and Shimeji mushrooms taste excellent,” which shows how Matsutake mushrooms have great smells. Therefore, it is often eaten to bring out the smells in menus like “matsutake mushroom and Japanese broth steamed in a teapot” as well as “matsutake rice.” However, they continue to be difficult to artificially cultivate, and the produced amount is declining each year. It has become an expensive ingredient just for enjoying the fragrance.
    Plenty of these matsutake mushrooms that smell excellent were used to express Yamashiroyashozo’s original “Innovative Kyoto Cuisine.”
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Hamo-centric Dishes Part.2

    As a continuation from our July menu, our August menu is “Hamo-centric Dishes Part 2.” In August, as in July, we are getting fresh Hamo (Daggertooth pike conger) air-flown from Oita’s Kitsuki City, carefully cut them in-store, and debone them. We make broth from the Hamo bones we get while deboning them by boiling them for 5 hours, and the broth is also used to full extent in all the dishes. In particular, it is used for the main course, “Hamo Shabu Plan,” in which each serving comes with a personal shabu-shabu hotpot and is a must-try. Organic red onions and hearty maitake mushrooms, from Oita as well, are served together on the side. Don’t be fooled by the simple cooking method, as the broth may be light but combined with the rich and potent “Hamo”, it will blow you away.
    Our August menu, “Hamo-centric Dishes Part 2.” As we did in July, we will continue to use fresh Hamo to its full potential to serve you our original “Kyoto Deconstructed Fine Dining.”
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Hamo zukushi

    The theme of our July menu will be “Hamozukushi.” Hamo (pike conger) may be a fish unfamiliar to people living in eastern Japan, but in the Kansai region and especially in Kyoto, it is an ingredient that has been well-loved and often enjoyed since ancient times.
    In our hope to allow as many people in Tokyo as possible to conveniently enjoy the taste of hamo, we have been procuring fresh hamo from Kitsuki City in Oita prefecture with which we share deep affinities. The fish is shipped to us by air and carefully prepared at our restaurant.
    The dashi stock is made by extracting the flavors from the hamo bones recovered during our preparation of the fish over the course of five hours, and it features prominently in our menu. In particular, for the “Hamo-shabu Plan” whose main dish is hamo-shabu, every guest will be served this delicious stock as a shabu-shabu base.
    We use organic red onions as well as meaty Maitake mushrooms sourced from Oita prefecture for the garnish.
    Enjoy the subtle but powerfully memorable flavors unique to hamo that has been prepared using our simple culinary techniques.
    This “Hamozukushi” will be available in July. We will continue to use seasonal ingredients based on the prevailing theme to showcase our restaurant’s unique take on “Kyo-kuzushi kappo.”

  • Summer Purification Rites

    The theme for the June menu is ‘Summer Purification Rites (Nagoshi no Harae)’. At the event held on June 30th, people pass through a cogon grass ring built in the shrine grounds in order to rid themselves of sins and impurities. This ritual is also known as ‘Chinowa-kuguri’. Chinowa refers to a ring (wa) woven from cogon grass (chigaya).
    The origin of this traditional event can be traced back to the purification ritual of the creator deity Izanagi. It is still held at shrines all over Japan around June 30th, even though we have moved to the Gregorian calendar.
    In accordance with the theme of ‘Summer Purification Rites’, we present our restaurant ‘Kyoto Kuzushi Kappo’, which uses seasonal ingredients.
    We also have a large selection of specially imported Italian wines to accompany our dishes and offer takeout and delivery menus. We believe you will find our restaurant to be an ideal location for dining with friends, family or colleagues.
    We look forward to your visit.

  • Setsubun（bean-throwing day）

    Our theme for the month of February is “Setsubun.” Setsubun refers to the days before the seasonal turning points of the first days of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Setsubun thus occurs four times a year. However, in the Japanese lunar calendar, the new year starts in the spring, so the Setsubun that occurs the day before spring starts (February 3rd) is a very important day similar to New Year’s Eve. Therefore, importance is placed on this Setsubun in particular, and “Setsubun” in general now mainly refers to this day.
    In the past, during the turning points of the seasons, and particularly during the turning points between the old and the new year, it was thought that evil spirits could enter more easily, and many rituals to get rid of these spirits took place. The act of scattering parched beans, which all Japanese people are familiar with, is an example of a ritual to get rid of evil spirits to welcome the new year.
    At Yamashiroya Shozo, we utilize seasonal materials in accordance with each month’s theme and express an original “Kyo kuzushi Kappo.”
    Furthermore, we always import many varieties of Italian wine that fit with our menu, so you can always find yourself satisfied no matter the occasion, be it a company gathering or enjoying time with family and friends. We always keep our restaurant warm in anticipation of our guests.

  • The Whiteness of New Year

    The theme for January’s menu is “The Whiteness of New Year” It is the coldest it has been this season, and it keeps getting colder, but the winter scenery after snow has just fallen is a beautiful sight that can only be seen during this time of year.

    Our menu items are centered around the color “white” in line with January’s theme, and are quite a sight for the eyes.

    Yutaka Hara’s haiku goes as follows: “Grill a few mochi, welcome in the brand new year, turning back around.” Let us look back on the last twelve months as we nurture our wishes and goals for the new year.

  • Autumn Leaves

    The autumn leaves and the Heian Period aristocrats remind us the event in the Tale of Genji written in the 12th century, in which the main character Hikaru Genji performs the elegant Seigaiha dance.
    The Heian Period aristocrats loved various blossoms and flowers such as cherry blossoms and wisteria, but autumn leaves do not appear in the Tale of Genji so often.
    This is because cherry trees and others can be planted in the garden of the court, but they had to go to the mountainside to enjoy the autumn leaves. The word “Kari” originally means to hunt the animals, but they used the word to hunt the autumn leaves.

    We hope you will enjoy the seasonal menu with the arrival of autumn.

  • Beating Summer Heat

    “Shokibarai” or beating summer heat is the Japanese tradition, to eat cold food or ingredients to cool down the body heat during summer. Not only the food but also the Chinese herbal medicine is used which has the effect to cool down the body heat.
    Based on the Chinese herbal medicine, sometimes warm or hot drinks and food were taken.
    However, nowadays most people drink cold soft drinks or beer to overcome summer heat, and this tradition has become an excuse to enjoy drinks and food to get rid of summer heat or stress at work.

    We hope this month’s menu will give you the power to fight against sever summer heat.
