January 11, 2022 open

The creative Japanese restaurant "Yui En" was established on the second floor of the Western-style creative restaurant "Le Blanc" in Toji. Passing through the gate of the restaurant, which is decorated with the mortar molding used in theme parks, you will find yourself in an artistic Japanese private space.

Chef Yoshikazu Kamada
After graduating from high school, he went on to a junior college of IT. After graduation, he started his culinary career, studying Japanese cuisine for 20 years and Western cuisine such as French cuisine for 4 years, and this year, he renovated his parents' house to set up his own business.

The owner, Yoshikazu Kamata, welcomes you to his restaurant, saying, "I want you to enjoy delicious food in a completely private space in a casual manner. [He is the son of the owner of Le Blanc, and after 20 years of experience in Japanese cuisine and 4 years in Western cuisine, including French cuisine, he became independent at the beginning of 2022.

The dish is an example of a course rim 16,500 yen. Appetizers are a plate of 5 dishes using seasonal and in-season ingredients.

When you combine Japanese and Western cuisine, the range of dishes expands endlessly. I hope to do interesting things such as Japanese cuisine using French techniques," says Chef Kamata. He generously demonstrates the dishes that he calls "evolutionary Japanese cuisine," such as the sauce beurre blanc, which is often used in French cuisine, with white miso paste as the essence of Kyoto cuisine.

The dish is an example of the 16,500 yen course menu. The "Hamo Wakasa Yaki (grilled hamo conger eel) with Fushimi red pepper and white miso sauce" is a Franco-Japanese collaboration of grilled hamo conger eel served with French sauce.

I want to cherish the relationships I have with the people who come here," he says, "to surprise and delight them. The chef values such encounters with people, and his cuisine is perfect for spending time with loved ones. Lunch is from 5,500 yen and dinner is from 9,900 yen for a total of 12 dishes, and reservations are required at least 4 days in advance.
