  ▼This month’s theme : The lingering nights of autumn

  The expression “lingering nights of autumn” captures not only the longer evenings compared with summer, but also the quiet melancholy and gentle moments of reflection that deepen as the season advances.
  Although the lingering summer heat still remains in September, at Yamashiroya Shōzō we hope that, at least during your dining experience, you may feel the serenity of an autumn evening. For this reason, the September menu has been prepared under the theme the lingering nights of autumn.
  The meal begins with sea bream, at its seasonal peak of richness, prepared as matsukawa-zukuri and accompanied by a sauce of nori and olives—an inventive dish in the Yamashiroya style.
  From the opening appetizer to the final dessert, the menu is composed with an abundance of seasonal ingredients, crafted to evoke autumn fully and leave behind the lingering notes of summer.
  We invite you to enjoy a dining experience at Yamashiroya Shōzō that allows you to savor the essence of the lingering nights of autumn.
