RyuGin was the setting for the final dinner of my visit to Japan.
It's a restaurant that I really felt I needed to try, as I'd been curious about the place for at leasta decade now. I think I first found out about it in the late s after a friend dined there and was raving about his meal.
The creation of Chef/Owner Seiji Yamamoto, RyuGin is named after part of a short Japanese poem describing a singing dragon, while the cooking here has been described as kaiseki-ryoriimbued with influences from modernist cuisine.
Seiji Yamamoto, President and Representative Director of the Company, would like to extend his greetings to you.
About the Chef: Yamamoto Seiji was born in in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture. At age 11, he learned to make a simple dish of rice with stewed beef and simmered veggies at elementary school. He then saved his money, went to the market to purchase ingredients, and recreated the dish for his mother; she was impressed, and this drove him to regularly help her with the cooking.
