My first visit in February of this year,
I was impressed by the taste and this is my third visit 🌿
On this day, the wife who is familiar with wine makes it specially
I got a non-alcoholic pairing 🍷
Amuse is
Dishes that make this one dish a course
It is a combination of Japanese, Western and Chinese, and it is a dish that shines with Chef Yamauchi's sense and effort.
Grilled rice balls with glutinous rice topped with tuna became my favorite 🍣
Foie gras crème brulee
It has a rich taste and is like a dessert
All of this is done by Chef Yamauchi and his apprentices.
It is completed one after another in front of you.
The second dish is the royal of matsutake, the king of autumn.
poured into a hexagonal bowl
The scent of matsutake mushrooms rises the moment you open the lid,
You will be invited to Kyoto in autumn.
With a smooth taste,
It is a dish with a long lingering scent of matsutake mushrooms.
Muscat and elderflower non-alcoholic,
The third dish was raw ham and seasonal fruit fig salad. The hidden taste of sea bream was exquisite in between ✨
Chef Yamauchi's food is delicious no matter what you eat, but this salad was my favorite this time 🤍
Each bite has a harmony of saltiness, sweetness and sourness.
You can enjoy it in your mouth.
The fourth dish is saury risotto.
The saury in a bright yellow bowl,
The skin is baked crispy and fragrant, and it goes well with the risotto on the bottom.
It is a dish that combines Italian techniques and the taste of Japanese autumn.
It appeared as a non-alcoholic like Chardonnay
The fifth item is Aqua Pazza of golden sea bream wrapped in transparent film.
When you open it in front of you, you will be impressed by the moment when the scent of seafood spreads ✨
It is the finest salmon roe pasta to have with non-alcoholic grapefruit and ginger ale.
When you eat a bite, the scent of basil and how much saltiness,
The texture of the pasta bursts in my mouth as a trinity.
Appearing with the deep red of the Palatinate's Traubenzaft loat (grape juice), this dish is the main dish of Japanese black beef.
The cross section of the meat baked to medium rare shines pink, and next to it is grilled shiitake mushrooms.
It's soft, yet you can feel the taste of the meat firmly
High-quality Japanese black beef is a dish where you can taste the French techniques of Chef Yamauchi and the delicacy of Japanese cuisine.
You can choose rice,
A simple dish with jako on freshly cooked rice.
Seasonal vegetables and incense in a bowl.
With the gentle taste like Kyoto, my heart calms down.
For dessert,
Homemade ice cream on cheesecake,
and coffee.
Suitable for the celebration of an important person
With Mr. Yamauchi's service and atmosphere
It was a moment of bliss 👶🎂💐
The chocolate on the plate
With very delicious fine chocolate
I was moved to write a message ✨
2025/10/25 will be closed once,
Chef Yamauchi talked to me when he first visited us.
"I don't change the dishes every month, I change them little by little. I want to be able to enjoy the ingredients when they are delicious."
I still remember your words.
This belief is the charm of Mr. Yamauchi.
This impression that only visitors can understand.
While in Ginza, Kyoto's delicacy and French technique,
It is the one and only restaurant.
With the good atmosphere of the chef, wife, apprentice involved in this shop
I became a big fan and it was sad to close the restaurant, but the chef greeted me when I left the restaurant.
"I'm not quitting my job as a chef.
Rest your body once.
We ll start again in some form.
What you said was very reassuring.
I wish you a day when you can meet everyone of Team Yamauchi with a smile again
I am looking forward to it from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you very much for your warm customer service and cooking 🤍

Dinner in Ginza # ginza _ gourmet # anniversary # dinner # celebration # dinner My favorite restaurant?
「La Paix(ラペ)」で検索している方って、店名は知っているけど“実際どんな体験なの?”“記念日に向く?”みたいな情報が欲しいことが多い気がします。私もまさにそれで、雰囲気・料理の系統・ペアリングの楽しさを知りたくて調べてから伺いました。 まず印象に残ったのは、入店した瞬間の空気。銀座の真ん中なのに、肩の力がふっと抜けるような落ち着きがあって、迎えてくださる笑顔も含めて「京都の余韻」を感じました。大げさじゃなく、都会の喧騒を忘れられるタイプのお店です。 料理は“和・洋・中を超えたフュージョン料理”という言葉がしっくりきます。ただ創作っぽいだけじゃなくて、香り・音・彩りが計算されていて、カウンター越しに目の前で仕上げるライブ感が楽しい。特に最初の一皿(アミューズ)が、お店のコンセプトを表現するような構成で、「この一皿がコース料理のよう」と感じるほど情報量が多いんです。ここで心を掴まれると、あとは自然とコース全体のストーリーに乗っていけます。 季節感も強くて、秋なら松茸のロワイヤルみたいに“香りで季節を連れてくる”一品が出てきます。蓋を開けた瞬間の立ち上る香りがご褒美そのもの。ほかにも、イチジク×生ハムに鯛の隠し味みたいに、素材同士の距離感が絶妙で、一口ごとに味が動くのが楽しいです。 お酒が飲めない(or 弱い)方には、ノンアルコールペアリングが本当におすすめ。ワインみたいな“合わせる喜び”はそのままに、料理の輪郭がよりくっきりします。私はここで、ノンアルでもコースが完成する満足感を知りました。 記念日利用の目線で言うと、派手すぎないのに特別感があって、お祝いの空気を丁寧に作ってくれるタイプ。メッセージプレートも上質で、最後まで気持ちがきれいに着地しました。大人のデートや誕生日、静かに祝いたい日にも向くと思います。 もし「La Paix(ラペ)は初めてで不安…」という方がいたら、私が感じたのは“安心して委ねられるお店”ということ。五感がゆっくり満たされるコースなので、ぜひ時間に余裕を持って味わってみてください。
