Yashibe? It sounds Japanese, but in the same time, to those who visited at least once the old town of Iași, it reminds them of the most traditional Moldavian invitation to have a talk over a glass of wine or țuică (Romanian plum brandy): Ia și bé (Have a drink). Well, that’s exactly what it means.
Yashibe is a traditional Romanian restaurant, serving “slow-cooked food” that keeps the original combination of taste and representation, but reinterpreted on the Japanese culinary, in terms of putting a lot of soul into the plating, turning every dish in a real piece of art.
Yashibe it’s a drop of Romanian blood in the heart of Japan. For the Romanian community in Japan, it’s their home away from home. For the Japanese locals and foreigners, it represents a real trip to Romania, where they can experience the not just the taste, but also the Romanian culture and traditions.
If you have ever wondered what was Dracula actually eating, or what dish Nadia Comăneci’s mother prepared the night she got that perfect 10, or maybe (even though we’re not very proud of him), what was Ceausescu’s favorite dish, chef Andra will gladly answer to all this questions and she has still many stories to tell.
“At Yashibe, I want to offer the experience of a simulated “Visit to Romania” through our services, food and space for those who cannot travel to Romania regardless of the reason or just want to taste the romanian cuisine." Andra Grosu
Romanian cuisine may not be as elegant as French cuisine, nor is it too spicy or too complicated. But it is interesting and welcoming and is the perfect comfort food !
In addition to the fact that Yasibe is built on minimum price – maximum quality, much attention is paid to the products used. Andra purchases and uses various local products from Japan and imports traditional Romanian products according to their concept of “Mâncare ca la mama acasă- Food like at home.” Another unique feature of the restaurant is the preparation of dishes using old traditional recipes collected over generations.
Yashibe is home not only to the Romanian community in Japan, but to all lovers of Romanian food and culture. The moment you have arrived at Yashibe you know that you will be stepping into a different world – a world full of music, mouthwatering flavors, laughter and joy. A world full of inclusion, positive thinking and genuine hospitality. Chef Andra is a fantastic mood producer, talent operator and hospitality engineer. She combines science with art in making everyone feel special, valued and at home. Visiting Yashibe is an addictive experience.
