Japanese Cuisine
The long-standing Ginza Kitcho, one of the birthplaces of the world-famous Japanese Cuisine which continues to spread Japan's proud cuisine and food culture to the world.
- Solo Diner Accepted
- Open for Lunch
- Babies and Small Children
Kitcho was first opened by Mr. Teiichi Yuki in Osaka in 1930, who incorporated his deep understanding of Japanese culture into cuisine and thus greatly contributed to the rise of Japanese cuisine.
Mr. Toshiji Yuki, the grandson of Teiichi Yuki, opened the Ginza branch in 1987 and is now known as a long-standing establishment which has helped spread Japanese cuisine to the world. The cuisine strongly reflects the influence of kaiseki in its changing menus and interior furnishings which all depend on the season.
Kitcho has played a crucial role in establishing the base of the style of traditional Japanese cuisine. The practice of “valuing the relationships between people” has been a part of Kitcho since its birth, and this has been one of the main reasons it is frequented by politicians, influential businessmen, journalists, and cultural icons throughout history.
Kitcho also places great importance on the elements which contribute to the beautiful presentation of its dishes, such as the dedication to carefully selected plate-ware, table arrangements that evoke the four seasons, and hospitality which creates a comfortable dining experience. Many chefs who have learned the values and techniques of Kitcho have emerged as leading figures in the country’s culinary industry.
While inheriting the tradition of Kitcho and always keeping the strong fundamentals of Japanese cuisine, Ginza Kitcho also actively incorporates new initiatives which align with the current times in its traditional yet creative dishes.
We invite you to enjoy the historic cuisine of Kitcho together with the tradition and culture of Japan in the food capital of Ginza.
