There cannot be a better year to reinvent oneself than 2021 and Shun By Yanagiya has been relaunched with a new menu and a new direction. When we first launched, we wanted to introduce Bangkok to Yanagiya as traditional style. But now that people are familiar with our food, Masashi Yamada wants to change how everything is done, says co-owner Nicholas Lam. In Japan, the parent restaurant Yanagiya in Mizunami is a traditional restaurant. There everything is seasonal and trying to re-create that experience is difficult in these times, says Lam.
