Craving the true taste of Japan in Kraków? Look no further—YŌKO is THE place!
YŌKO is, above all, artisanal Japanese street food.
When creating our own vision of Japanese cuisine, we were guided by the principle of KODAWARI, the relentless pursuit of perfection through passion, perseverance, and dedication. For us, there are no shortcuts and no compromises. The process matters as much as the result.
We work exclusively with trusted suppliers, selecting ingredients with careful attention to quality, sustainability, and animal welfare. Our fish are prepared using the humane ikejime method, while our meat comes from certified organic farms in the Silesia region.
Some key ingredients are sourced directly from Japan, allowing us to deliver authentic Japanese flavors while expressing them through a local perspective.
Fermentation plays a central role in our kitchen. From miso and garum to kimchi and bread, we rely on natural processes to build depth and character. We also dry-age our fish in-house, taking full responsibility for every stage of preparation.
Ramen, yakitori, sando — and much more.
That’s YŌKO. 🍜
