Superb grilled fish lunch set meal at "Izu no Shun YANMO Minami-Aoyama", my favorite Japanese restaurant in Omotesando.

Izu no Shun YANMO Minami Aoyama Branch

If you are looking for a delicious Japanese lunch in Omotesando, I would recommend Izu no Shun YANMO Minami Aoyama without hesitation.
I visited once at night and was so impressed with the taste and atmosphere that I could not forget it, so I revisited this time for lunch, which I had longed for.

Excellent grilled fish lunch with a distinctive char-grilled aroma

On this day, I had the "Grilled Mackerel in Miso Sauce" set meal.
The mackerel, carefully and slowly grilled over charcoal, was fragrant on the outside and plump and juicy on the inside.
The miso flavor enhances the flavor of the fish, which is served with grated radish and lemon for a refreshing taste.

The set meal also comes with a small bowl of cooked food, miso soup, and a generous portion of rice.
The cost performance is surprisingly good at around 2,000 yen.
There are many male customers as well, so even those who value volume can be satisfied.

Rainy days are a good time to visit! Usually, there is a big line even before the restaurant opens.

Unfortunately, it was raining that morning.
Perhaps because of this, we were lucky enough to enter the restaurant without waiting in line.
However, on a sunny day, the restaurant is very popular, with customers lining up 20 minutes before the store opens.
Some reviewers even said that they could not eat because they were sold out.

If you want to be sure of getting in, it would be better to get in line before the restaurant opens or consider making a reservation (only courses are available).

Healing space where natural light and modern Japanese style are in harmony

Although the restaurant is located in the basement, it is bright and airy with natural light streaming in.
The modern Japanese design, with its stone-piled walls and indirect lighting, creates a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

The clientele is mostly elegant, making it ideal for business lunches and entertaining overseas guests.
Counter seating and semi-private rooms with sunken kotatsu are also available, making it a great place to dine with that special someone.

Origin of "YANMO" and the restaurant's commitment

YANMO" refers to the "yamamomo" tree commonly found in Izu.
It is named after the way it grows strongly even on rocky terrain, receiving sea breezes and sunlight.

As is typical of "YAMAMOMO," you can enjoy Izu's natural ingredients and hospitality in the restaurant.
Not only the food, but also the space, customer service, and drinks are all full of attention to detail.

Conclusion
