MONTE CARLO (Kyodo) At a time when Japanese dishes are gaining popularity around the world, celebrated French chef Joel Robuchon is operating a restaurant that serves Japanese cuisine to suit French palates.
His restaurant, Yoshi, is located in a corner of the upscale Metropole hotel in Monte Carlo.
The dining room, with black as its underlying tone, is seen behind the restaurant's lattice door. A Japanese-style garden lies beyond the terrace in the depths of the restaurant.
