In the spirit of Chakaiseki

It means that it aims to open the mind to the beauty and flow of the seasons through dishes, objects, and interiors beyond simple tasting. Matayoshi is a Michelin Kaiseki restaurant that serves dishes with a modern sensibility based on the spirit of this Chakaiseki.
Emphasizing the flavors and textures of each carefully selected ingredient, you'll encounter surprising and sometimes dramatic plating, such as bamboo sprouting from below or leaves floating along a stream.
The kaiseki cuisine served one after another is full of the owner chef's sincerity in each dish! Immerse yourself in the sophisticated gourmet world of Michelin 2 stars.
A collection of tableware expressing seasonality
At Matayoshi, you can find a full range of tableware collections, from antiques to modern pieces.
The crockery, carefully selected one by one to express the seasonality of the dish and to present it innovatively, is a key element of chakaiseki that elevates the dining experience to the next level, featuring famous pieces such as Baccarat crystal porcelain, Eiraku, and Myozen.
Interior with Japanese aesthetics

The ceiling decorations hand-woven by artisans, the furniture made by hand to preserve the natural grain of the wood, and the space creatively using indirect light all create a restaurant filled with exquisite beauty.
