Rice from Across Japan / Local Producers

Rice from Across Japan / Local Producers

Each YOSAKURA location selects Japanese rice from different regions to match its cuisine. Rather than using a single variety, we carefully select the rice that best complements each dish. At some locations, rice is cooked using a traditional Japanese pot called a Hagama, which is rarely used today due to the time and skill required. By holding and distributing heat throughout the pot, the Hagama brings out the rice’s natural sweetness, aroma, and clear grain texture.

The weight felt in the hand, the philosophy within the blade. The knives used at Yosakura are crafted by the artisans of Jikko Hamono, a long-established maker in Sakai, Osaka. Fourth-generation craftsman Toshiyuki Jikko continues a legacy of over a century, pursuing blades that evolve with the times while staying true to the spirit of traditional forging.

It is a design rooted in essence, not appearance. By harmonizing with each locationʼs unique character, the space offers guests a serene environment to relax and savor each moment.
