Captivating diners with his asador, or Spanish-style stone oven, owner-chef Yamamoto is in sole command of his kitchen. The focus of his labours is the traditional cuisine he studied in the Basque Country. The red, smoky flame stoked by burning kindling and charcoal together is a necessity for this cuisine. The main dish is a beef rib roast, grilled in chunks. Neither sauces nor trimmings are offered, as Yamamoto focuses on conveying the pure flavour of the meat.
