Chef Hisanori Yamamoto

Reimagining Ramen

Chef Hisanori Yamamoto of icca New York brings together the purity of Japanese technique and the artistry of Italian cuisine.

Guided by a philosophy of harmony—between tradition and creativity, simplicity and depth—Chef Yamamoto finds beauty in balance. His approach to cooking reflects the same quiet precision and respect for ingredients that define Kayanoya’s dashi.

Inspired by the subtle richness of Kayanoya’s Dashi Ramen, he sought to reimagine ramen beyond its familiar form. By pairing miso and sesame broth with herbs, mint, grapefruit, and seasonal seafood, he created dishes that awaken the senses and reveal new dimensions of umami.

Through this collaboration, Chef Yamamoto transforms everyday comfort into refined expression—where dashi becomes a language for creativity, and ramen evolves into something gracefully original.
