They serve the ham with a glass of wine or lemon chuhai. Please feel free to enjoy your favorite drink," said Mr. and Mrs. Yokokawa as they arranged the cut ham in an effortless motion.
Tsuyoki was the second runner-up in the 2011 Japan Competition of the Official Iberian Ham Cortador Contest of the Government of the Province of Andalusia. His wife, Saki, is the Japanese champion who won the 2020 International Cured White Pork Ham Cortador Contest in Japan and has been invited to the main competition in Spain this October.

A Spanish bar opened by Kyoto's, or rather Japan's, most powerful cortador (a ham cutter) and his wife may sound somewhat tense, but the couple is very friendly. Although they have high aspirations to convey Spanish food culture, the style of the restaurant is very casual.

This is small! Two kinds of assorted cured ham (small) for 1,380 yen. Kurobuta Hamon Serrano is available individually from 590 yen.

It took us about three years to complete the Jamon Iberico, a black pig, which is a symbol of the culinary culture that the Spanish people are proud of. We have been thinking about how we can make people feel more familiar with it, rather than explaining it in a complicated way. If we have an izakaya menu, such as today's sashimi and thick-sliced ham cutlets, people can easily come in," he says with a smile. I hope you will bring your friends who may think Spanish food is still a little far away to visit us.

They met at a Spanish restaurant where he was working and participated in a contest while Tsuyoshi was teaching Saki. After working at a popular standing bar [Suiba], he opened his own restaurant.
