About Yoshina
Yoshina earned a Tabelog 100 spot in 2025 for creative Japanese cuisine at JPY 10,000–14,999 dinner, JPY 5,000–5,999 lunch. The 30-seat Gifu restaurant opened in 2020, takes reservations by phone, and closes Tuesdays. Cash-only, with parking available and no private rooms. Book a week ahead for weekends; weekday lunches are easier.
At JPY 10,000–14,999 for dinner and JPY 5,000–5,999 for lunch, Yoshina sits in a higher verified price band for Gifu. The restaurant is listed with lunch and dinner hours on every day except Tuesday, and it appears on the Tabelog 100 Innovative / Creative Cuisine list for 2025. Dress code is casual, making the practical picture straightforward even where other details are not verified here. This is a venue to consider for a planned meal in Gifu rather than a fully documented logistics-heavy destination guide.
Creative Recognition and Verified Price Bands
Yoshina is verified in the JPY 10,000–14,999 dinner range and the JPY 5,000–5,999 lunch range. Its Tabelog 100 recognition is for the Innovative / Creative Cuisine category in 2025, but specific dishes, menu format, chef details, seating layout, and payment methods are not verified here. Lunch is listed from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and dinner is listed from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; Tuesday is closed. For context, Gifu's dining scene includes a range of local options, and Yoshina stands out in this guide primarily for its verified price bands, schedule, and Tabelog 100 Innovative / Creative Cuisine recognition rather than for any unverified claims about a specific service style.
Booking, Timing, and Practical Logistics
The most reliable planning detail is the weekly schedule: Yoshina is closed on Tuesday and otherwise lists lunch from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM and dinner from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM. No specific street address, station access, seat count, phone number, parking arrangement, private-room setup, or payment policy is verified here, so diners should confirm those details directly before going. Dress code is listed as casual. For readers comparing Gifu dining options, Yoshina can be considered alongside other named venues such as DA ACHIU or Yakiniku Shun Yasai Fanbogi without assuming the same cuisine, format, or price structure.
Yoshina is best approached with the verified facts in mind: Gifu location, Tuesday closure, lunch and dinner service on the other listed days, casual dress, and price ranges of JPY 5,000–5,999 for lunch and JPY 10,000–14,999 for dinner. The Tabelog 100 Innovative / Creative Cuisine 2025 recognition gives it a clear reason for attention, but details such as reservations, menu length, beverage program, founding year, exact rating, and group suitability are not verified here. Within Gifu's dining landscape, that makes Yoshina a promising but still confirm-before-you-go choice.

Within Gifu's dining tier, Yoshina operates at a higher price and ambition level than most peers. Sake no Tori sits at JPY 4,000–4,999, roughly half Yoshina's dinner cost, and focuses on sake pairings rather than coursed creative menus. DA ACHIU delivers Italian-leaning plates at JPY 3,000–3,999 dinner, making it a better value for casual meals but lacking the Tabelog credentials that justify Yoshina's premium. Hida Gyu Ittouya Bakuro Ichidai Gifu kanda charges JPY 6,000–7,999 for Hida beef specialists, a middle ground between Yoshina and budget options, but the focus remains protein-forward rather than creative composition. For diners seeking a splurge-worthy meal in Gifu, Yoshina and Yakiniku Shun Yasai Fanbogi share the JPY 10,000–14,999 dinner range, though the latter skews toward yakiniku tableside cooking rather than coursed kaiseki-adjacent formats.
Booking difficulty favors Yoshina over Tokyo equivalents, reserve a week out for weekends, versus the multi-week timelines required at metropolitan Tabelog 100 venues. The cash-only policy is stricter than peers like DA ACHIU and Sake no Tori, which accept cards, so Yoshina demands more logistical preparation. Men Kiiro operates under JPY 999, appealing to budget travelers but offering no overlap with Yoshina's creative ambitions. For food-focused travelers already visiting Gifu, Yoshina justifies the premium if you prioritize technique and Tabelog recognition; if you seek easier booking and lower price, Sake no Tori or DA ACHIU deliver satisfying meals without the commitment. Weekend diners should book Yoshina first, then slot less formal meals around it. The 30-seat capacity and Tuesday closure make midweek visits the most flexible option.
