A che punto siamo?", a restaurant serving Italian regional cuisine, opened in Kitaoji, Kyoto. I had decided to open my own restaurant in my hometown of Kyoto someday. I was unable to work in Italy because of the Corona disaster, so I thought it was about time..." Yasutaka Matsumoto returned to Japan from Italy in January 2021. He returned to Japan from Italy in January 2021, where he had been trained for a total of 10 years. He studied at a total of four ristorante restaurants in Italy, all of which were awarded stars.

Chef Yasutaka Matsumoto
Born in Kyoto City. After spending 10 years in Tokyo and 10 years in Italy and France honing his skills as a chef, he returned to Japan in 2021. In October of this year, he opened the restaurant of his dreams.

The name of the restaurant, which means "How is your progress? The name of the restaurant, which means "how's your progress?" in Italian, was taken from a phrase the chef used to say when he was in Italy to encourage people to speed up in the kitchen. The name of the restaurant, which means "how's your progress?" in Italian, was taken from a phrase uttered by the chef when he was in Italy urging his staff to speed up in the kitchen.

Wild Boar Hamburger with Marsala Sake Sauce Appetizer for 3,200 yen. Made from the finest parts of Kyoto wild boar purchased from hunters. Boar bones and other parts are simmered for a long time and sweet Marsala sake is added to the sauce.

Many of Mr. Matsumoto's dishes, including his signature dish, Lampredotto, are not so familiar in Japan. Lampredotto, which consists of stewed beef giblets sandwiched in a bun, is Florence's soul food and a B-class gourmet dish popular at street stalls. With Matsumoto's unique ideas and techniques, it is now presented as a dish with the impact and rich flavor of an overflowing green espuma sauce.

I hope to offer interesting dishes that can only be found here. I want people to enjoy the various local dishes of Italy. I want to express Italian cuisine by making use of good local ingredients. Dinner reservations are required and only omakase courses are available, so please inquire.
