Ginza Yago Yasushi Matsumura Owner What is Chinese soba “Ginza Hachigo”? Ginza Hachigo’s owner, Yasushi Matsumura, is a master of French cuisine with 36 years of experience, including serving as executive chef at the ANA Hotel Kyoto (now the ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kyoto). “I want everyone to be able to enjoy delicious food in an unpretentious setting,” he said. With that in mind, he decided to recreate a “full course meal in a bowl” and made a fresh start, diving into the world of ramen. In March 2015, Matsumura opened his first restaurant, “Chukasoba Katsumoto,” in Suidobashi, Tokyo. He then opened “Tsukesoba Kanda Katsumoto” in Jimbocho, Tokyo, in February 2016. In December 2018, Matsumura poured all of his skills,
sensibilities, and knowledge into this new ramen restaurant, “Ginza Hachigo,” which opened in Tokyo’s Ginza district. The golden soup, inspired by French cuisine and made without any sauce, brings out the full flavor of ingredients such as prosciutto, and is paired with thin noodles specially made by the long-established Asakusa Kaikaro restaurant, creating a truly exquisite bowl of ramen.
