2TAPS Inc. (Head Office: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Ryo Kawachi), a food creative company that operates unique restaurants primarily in the Sangenjaya area of Setagaya, is pleased to announce that its restaurant "Yoshoku api (Api)", located within a complex facility on the former Ikijiri Junior High School site, will begin offering a luxurious "Summer Recommended Menu" to vibrantly celebrate the arrival of summer starting in July 2026.

The new offerings include the "Clam Paella" which condenses the umami of shellfish based on the authentic Catalan style, the "Kadaif Fried Conger Eel" with its bold texture and refreshing sauce creating a wonderful marriage, the "Chilled Shrimp Tartare Genovese Pasta" with its cool, smooth finish, and the visually stunning "Salmon and Summer Vegetable Terrine". We deliver a moving culinary experience unique to Yoshoku api, where the craftsmanship of skilled staff with solid Italian and Spanish techniques intersects with a playful and original sensibility.

Yoshoku api's July Recommended Menu to Luxuriously Color Your Summer Moments

Yoshoku api, which transitions from a somewhat nostalgic Western-style restaurant lunch during the day to a mixed Italian-Spanish establishment enjoyed with natural wines at night. This summer's recommended menu features a lineup of a la carte dishes that stimulate all five senses, using carefully selected seafood and fresh summer vegetables to maximize their original flavors.

Clam Paella (4,200 yen) An updated summer version of api's signature evening paella. While maintaining the traditional Catalan style of Spain, the rich broth and umami from large local clams and other shellfish are thoroughly infused into every grain of rice. It is a luxurious dish that boasts overwhelming satisfaction, with the clam umami "exploding" in your mouth with every bite.

Kadaif Fried Conger Eel ~Ravigote Sauce~ (3,000 yen) Fresh conger eel is boldly used, wrapped in "kadaif," a very fine noodle-like dough, and deep-fried to a crisp. The exquisite contrast between the light, crispy texture of the kadaif and the plump flesh of the conger eel is remarkable. Please enjoy the wonderful marriage where the special ravigote sauce, with its refreshing acidity from finely chopped summer vegetables, enhances the umami of the conger eel.

Chilled Shrimp Tartare Genovese Pasta (1,800 yen) A chilled pasta perfect for this season, with its striking vibrant green color. Based on a homemade genovese sauce luxuriously made with fragrant basil, it is generously topped with plump shrimp tartare. It is a delightful dish for summer, where the refreshing aroma of herbs and the sweetness of shrimp intertwine with the pasta.

Salmon and Summer Vegetable Terrine (1,600 yen) A visually beautiful and refreshing terrine, elegantly layering fresh summer vegetables with flavorful salmon. The textures of each ingredient harmonize with the gentle umami of the dashi broth that has been slowly infused. It pairs exceptionally well with api's selection of natural wines, so please enjoy them together.

"Yoshoku api," a restaurant with two faces, day and night, where the nostalgia of a former school site merges with modernity.

"Yoshoku api" opened in July 2025 within a lush commercial facility built on the site of the former Setagaya Ward Ikijiri Junior High School. During the day, it offers "Western-style restaurant lunch," where familiar Western dishes from school lunches are elevated to exquisite adult quality using modern, carefully selected ingredients (such as Kuroge Wagyu beef, Lin SPF pork, and Ibaraki Bando 'Horiton' pork).

"Principal's Favorite! School Lunch Napolitan! api Style"

At night, it transforms into a stylish bistro bar where chefs with Italian and Spanish experience showcase their skills, perfect for enjoying natural wines. The unique interior with two entrances includes circular counter seats offering an overwhelming sense of live action, spacious sofa seats that welcome strollers, and an open terrace where a pleasant night breeze blows through, catering to a wide range of occasions from girls' nights out and dates to family gatherings for locals. It is cherished as the town's new third place, adding "a touch of specialness" to everyday life.
