Jerome Ito is opening Yutori in Palo Alto, a massive 5,000-square-foot destination designed to bring the culture of Japanese konbinis, cafes, and artisan markets to the Peninsula. The space features a serene outdoor garden with cherry blossom trees and will evolve from a daytime cafe and deli into a full-service restaurant and bar.
Key highlights include:
- A cafe serving specialty matcha, miso lattes, and pastries by chef Janet Tong.
- A konbini-inspired market offering Japanese sandos, bento boxes, sashimi, and imported goods like ceramics and knives.
- An upcoming restaurant phase featuring family-style dishes such as grilled fish, Japanese-Italian pastas, and Wagyu steak.
- An expansive outdoor patio and stone garden for community events and seasonal festivals.
