The name

紅葉 · こうようAutumn leaves.

Kōyō is the Japanese word for leaves turning red in the fall. It hangs in brushed calligraphy on our wall, and it's the maple leaf in our logo.

A private zashiki room behind a shoji screen: a low table on tatami with floor cushions and a bamboo print panel — Zashiki room, set with floor cushions.

The rooms

Dinner behind shoji.

Sliding paper screens divide the restaurant into small, quiet rooms.

Some are set with floor cushions in the traditional zashiki style; others with tables and chairs. A long table room seats larger parties. It's the kind of place where you can hear the person across from you.
