About Yoichi's
The main focus of Yoichi’s is on Kaiseki, which is a multi-course style of Japanese cuisine that takes into account seasons, harmony, colors, textures, and a certain preparation sequence. Instead of providing customers with a standard à la carte type of dinner, Yoichi’s provides a set tasting experience that costs a fixed fee per guest.
A fixed menu is hard to provide since there are always some changes in the ingredients and dishes served based on seasons. The menu can go from appetizers, soup, sashimi, grilled/steamed dishes, rice, and desserts, with the presentation being one of the aspects of dining at Yoichi’s.
Making a reservation by phone is required at this establishment. It is crucial due to the fact that the kitchen is preparing a structured dinner, and the current price for dinner is $180 per person.
Sake menu consists of junmai, ginjo, daiginjo, seasonal bottles, nigori, and other Japanese types of sake. Individual prices for sake are usually not found online; hence, those fields are intentionally left blank.
