What to Order
Omakase Menu
This multi-course tasting menu is the heart of the Yukashi experience, featuring fresh, innovative, and beautifully presented dishes that change seasonally.
"The omakase was flawless—fresh, innovative, and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was intimate and serene. A true hidden gem for authentic omakase."

Chef's Secret-Recipe, Homemade, Fruit-Infused Sakes
These unique sakes are crafted by the chef himself and are a highlight of the drink pairings, offering distinct and memorable flavors.
"The drink pairings are outstanding, especially the chef's own secret-recipe, homemade, fruit-infused sakes."

Torched Miyazaki Wagyu/Uni/Foie Gras
A decadent and rich dish that combines premium Miyazaki wagyu beef with sea urchin and foie gras, often torched for an exquisite finish.
"A permanent special is the torched Miyazaki wagyu/uni/foie gras which is decadent."

Dashi-Based Broth (Soups)
The soups are a testament to the chef's mastery of Kaiseki, consistently hitting the mark with their umami-rich, balanced flavors and a hint of yuzu and sake.
"For me personally, the mark of great Kaiseki is how good the Dashi based broth is. His soups hit the mark every single time, full of umami but very balanced with a touch of yuzu and sake."
Michael Tjandrawidjaja
Lychee Sake
This specific fruit-infused sake is a popular choice, praised for its delicious taste and often recommended by guests.
"Loved the lychee sake. Will go again in a few months for their fall menu."

Crown Musk Melon
Served as a memorable final bite, this premium melon is so exceptional it's said to spoil all other melon experiences.
"Also: having now had the crown musk melon, all other melon will be spoiled for a bit but wow what a lovely last bite (and epic knife to carve it)."
