The Chef | Rooted in Tradition, Guided by Seasonality
Inspired by his father, who was a chef, Chef Mitsutaka Tsukihara developed a passion for cooking from an early age and continues to express his culinary philosophy through the values deeply rooted in Japanese food culture.

Through this exclusive menu, he invites guests to experience the understated elegance of Kaiseki dining through thoughtful sequencing, delicate technique, and a genuine connection between food and season.

Set within YTSB’s contemporary and intimate atmosphere, A Rare Kaiseki Journey offers a rare opportunity to experience traditional Japanese dining in the heart of Bangkok.

About 1–Michelin Star Omakase Jackson Yu

Michelin-starred Chef Jackson Yu long ago fell in love with the art of fine Japanese cuisine and early on set about his goal of becoming a master of the highly disciplined techniques that produce the world’s most elegant food. Based in the San Francisco area of California, where he relocated when he was only 18, Chef Jackson Yu has been preparing traditional sushi for almost 20 years. While honing his technical skills, his passion and talent have allowed him to work at some of San Francisco’s most renowned Japanese restaurants during this time, while eventually opening several of his own around the city.

His fourth restaurant is called Omakase, after the “chef’s choice” style of creative cuisine perfected by the very best of Japanese chefs. In Omakase, Chef Jackson is often seen chatting with his guests and determining their tastes with his fine sense of flavors, customizing his creations to suit them perfectly.
