Fine dining in a renovated traditional Japanese home

The restaurant is hidden in a quiet residential area beside some rice paddies.

Yamu specializes in using seasonal ingredients.

There is a lovely garden surrounding the restaurant.

The interior is beautifully decorated in a modern Japanese style.

View of the garden from one of the main dining rooms.

Our weekday lunch course was less than 2000 yen.

The appetizer on our visit included two sides and sliced grilled chicken roll with salad.

The main was a fantastic pork and eggplant dish with rice and miso soup..

A dessert of pannacotta with mango sauce and Japanese tea

There are 5 dining rooms and a small lounge.

Yamu can accommodate those with allergies and is barrier-free.

Enjoy an amazing Japanese fusion lunch at Yamu, which is housed in a gorgeous 220-year-old home overlooking a small garden surrounded by cherry trees. The interior has been renovated in a wa-modern style where guests sit at tables and chairs in lovely tatami rooms. Dining in the restaurant is a 'must' when visiting Fukushima City.

For more details, visit the restaurant's website.
