It means aiming to open your mind to the beauty and flow of the seasons through cuisine, objects, and interior design beyond simple tasting. Matayoshi is a Michelin Kaiseki restaurant that provides cuisine with a modern touch based on the spirit of Chakaiseki.

Emphasizing the taste and texture of each carefully selected ingredient, you can see surprising and sometimes dramatic plating, such as expressing the appearance of bamboo sprouting from below or leaves floating along a stream.

A collection of tableware that expresses seasonality

At Matayoshi, you can find a collection of tableware ranging from antiques to modern works.

The dishes, each carefully selected for the seasonal expression and innovative presentation of the cuisine, are important elements of Chakaiseki that further enhance the quality of the meal, such as Baccarat crystal porcelain, Eiraku, and Myozen.

Interior with Japanese aesthetics

The interior, which contains Japanese aesthetics with perfect minimalism, is alive with meticulous details. The ceiling decoration woven by craftsmen, the handmade furniture to preserve the natural grain of the wood, and the creative use of indirect lighting all make it a restaurant with sophisticated beauty.
