Two tips you should know before visiting Yamazaki
⁡
1) Taisho Yamazaki San is not only the chef but also a certified sommelier with a genuine passion for wine. Be sure to ask for his recommendations - he often offers a daily special available off the main list, along with beautifully aged bottles kept in excellent condition and a thoughtful selection of rare Japanese wines. Guests are welcome to share a budget, and he will thoughtfully pair wines (and sake) with the omakase, creating a seamless dialogue between the clear, ingredient-driven cuisine and the glass.

2) Yamazaki opened its first overseas branch in Taipei’s Xinyi District in May this year. The kitchen is led by Chef Jeff, who trained under Yamazaki and carries forward the same philosophy of clarity, precision, and essential flavour. I have had the pleasure of tasting his cooking twice — once at the original Yamazaki and once at Sushi Hashimoto — and both experiences were outstanding. Signature touches such as the charcoal-grilled softshell turtle and the fleeting fresh gelati remain true to the Tokyo original. Highly recommended!
