  ▼This month’s theme : Radiant autumn days

  Among the many colors of Japan’s seasonal landscapes, autumn is often described as the season that “deepens,” carrying a quiet sense of richness.
  The phrase radiant autumn days evokes clear skies, crisp air, and the gentle passing of time. At Yamashiroya Shōzō, we have prepared a menu that reflects this season’s beauty, expressing the deepening of autumn in every dish.
  We begin with a refined starter: black sesame tofu blended with bamboo charcoal, accented by the sharp aroma of wasabi and adorned with golden rice stalks—an elegant taste of autumn. The soup combines seasonal pike conger, at its peak once again in autumn, with onions slowly cooked at low temperature to draw out their natural sweetness.
  Throughout the menu, from grilled pacific saury to other seasonal offerings, each plate highlights the blessings of autumn and delivers a nourishing depth of flavor.
  As time flows and autumn deepens, we hope you will savor its beauty and tranquility through our October menu at Yamashiroya Shōzō.
