The owner, Shinsuke Yoshida, was the head chef at the popular restaurant To. in Karasuma-Oike and became independent when he married Yumi, with whom he worked. As Yumi is from Nachikatsuura, the main ingredients of his cuisine are from the mountains and seas of Wakayama. While using the Italian techniques he has cultivated over the years as a base, he adds an Asian flavor and incorporates charcoal fire to create original dishes that can be found nowhere else.

In an adult space with only a counter, you can enjoy dishes made with rich ingredients from Wakayama. The menu is a la carte only, and you can order a little of what you like while consulting with the owner. This is a restaurant you want to visit on special occasions, but not too formal.

The owner of this restaurant, who served as general manager of a popular Chinese restaurant in Nagoya, has now opened a restaurant specializing in tananmen. Two types of noodle soups are on standby: the soup-less dish, which allows you to enjoy thick, chewy noodles, and the soupy noodle soup, which has a thick broth. You can customize not only the hardness of the noodles and toppings, but also the amount of hot oil and pepper. The final dish is freshly cooked rice from Gihee VIII, which is the Kinshi-Ro way of savoring all of the soup.

I believe that it is precisely because of Mr. Ohira that he has been able to realize this style.
