Our Story
Tucked away in the heart of London, Yokoya invites guests into a world where Japanese tradition is honoured with every course. The restaurant is the lifelong passion of Chef Makoto Kuwaki, who began his formal training in Japan at the age of 18 to become a master of Kaiseki—the highest expression of authentic Japanese dining and a deeply seasonal culinary art.
Under Chef Kuwaki’s meticulous guidance, the multi‑course Kaiseki menu is updated monthly, with each dish reflecting decades of discipline, cultural devotion, and refined craftsmanship. Dining at Yokoya is never rushed; it is a quiet, immersive experience that celebrates the beauty of Japan’s seasons.
Chef Kuwaki’s dedication to tradition has earned him the honour of serving the Japanese Emperor and Empress, as well as several Prime Ministers. Today, he brings this heritage to London, offering both an elaborate monthly Kaiseki menu and a more relaxed option through our Seasonal Japanese Dining – A la Carte Menu, allowing guests to experience Japanese cuisine with authenticity, precision, and soul.
At Yokoya, we offer two expressions of Japanese cuisine: the refined elegance of our monthly Kaiseki menu and the relaxed, seasonal dishes of our A La Carte menu—both rooted in Japanese tradition and crafted with quiet precision.
CUISINE STYLES
At YoKOYA, Kaiseki is not simply a meal — it is a seasonal journey shaped by nature, craftsmanship, and restraint, experienced within an intimate four‑table dining room. Each month, the menu is rebuilt around true hyper‑seasonality, with every course handcrafted to express balance, harmony, and the quiet beauty of the season. From the opening bite to the final sip of matcha, textures, temperatures, aromas, and pacing are composed with intention, inviting you to slow down and experience Japanese dining at its most refined.
Seasonal Japanese Dining
– A La Carte Menu
Our Seasonal Japanese Dining offers a relaxed yet thoughtful expression of Japanese flavours. The menu highlights seasonal ingredients, comforting dishes, and small plates designed for sharing — all crafted with the same quiet precision that defines YoKOYA. From charcoal‑grilled items to umami‑rich classics, each dish pairs beautifully with our curated selection of sake and Japanese spirits, making it ideal for casual evenings, gatherings, or spontaneous nights out.
