Indulge in Summer with New Flavors at Yoshoku API
Nestled in a revitalized commercial complex on the site of the former Ikejirichu Junior High School, Yoshoku API in Setagaya is set to dazzle diners with its summer menu beginning July 2026. This modern bistro, managed by the innovative 2TAPS catering company, offers a unique culinary experience with an exciting mix of Italian and Spanish influences.
Yoshoku API's latest seasonal creations are not to be missed. The star of the summer menu is the
Local Clam Paella, priced at 4,200 yen. This dish elevates the classic Spanish recipe by infusing each grain of rice with the rich broth and essence of large, succulent local clams, creating an explosion of flavor in every bite. It's a decadent way to celebrate the summer sunshine.
For something with a bold texture, try the
Fried Natural Eel with Kadayif and Vinaigrette Sauce for 3,000 yen. Crispy kadayif wraps fresh eel, delivering a crunchy contrast to the tender meat. Accompanied by a tangy vinaigrette sauce featuring finely diced summer vegetables, this dish highlights a delightful harmony of flavors.
Next up is the refreshing
Chilled Prawn Tartare with Genovese Pasta, available at 1,800 yen. This eye-catching dish combines al dente pasta tossed in house-made basil sauce, topped with succulent prawn tartare. The sweet prawn flavor and refreshing herbal notes are a perfect match for the hot summer months.
The visually stunning
Salmon and Summer Vegetable Terrine (1,600 yen) beautifully layers fresh summer vegetables and flavorful salmon. This dish presents a delicate balance of texture and flavor, harmonized by a subtle broth that enhances its natural taste, making it a fantastic pairing with fine organic wines offered at the restaurant.
At Yoshoku API, the day-to-night transformation of the restaurant showcases its versatility. Lunchtime features nostalgic dishes with a twist, offering classic school lunch favorites prepared with premium ingredients, such as A5 wagyu and SPF pork. After dark, the ambiance shifts as the menu reflects the expertise of chefs skilled in Italian and Spanish cuisine.
The bistro offers a cozy circular counter and spacious seating areas where guests can gather, whether for a night out with friends, a romantic dinner, or a family meal.
