"Owner-chef Yoshiaki Fujimoto expresses the passing seasons using only ingredients from Japan. Selecting ingredients such as edible wild plants and shirako, and preparing his dashi with kombu, he permeates his menu with a Japanese sensibility. Spices and vinegar are deployed to modulate the flow of flavours. Desserts fashioned from combinations of fruits and vegetables, such as pears with turnips or strawberries with fennel, are a Fujimoto innovation. He guards tradition while refining it." - Michelin Inspector
"The characters on the sign read ‘tàocān’, meaning ‘set menu’ in Chinese. Keen to become their customers’ habitual haunt, Yiwanshui serves Chinese home cooking. Qī cǎi pén on the prix fixe menu is influenced by Chinese imperial court cuisine. The approach here is to use familiar ingredients and take the time and effort to bring their native goodness to the fore. A light touch on the oil and seasonings makes the fare easy on the constitution and places natural flavours front and centre." - Michelin Inspector
