Winter 2026
Change in reservation policy
It's been a busy season—thanks to all our guests! However, an increasing number of same-day cancellations has forced us to reconsider how we accept reservations. Please make your reservation through your hotel, not directly to the restaurant! We purchase our ingredients based both on the best materials available for the season, and the number of reservations we have received. We hope that this will help us ensure that we provide you with the very best meals! Thanks for your understanding.
Chef Jin Sato, with some of the best of the season

econd Step JY takes pride in serving the finest meals in Myoko. Chef and owner Jin Sato starts with the very finest ingredients he can find: fresh fish from the nearby Sea of Japan; vegetables from local farms; the best seasonings and oils from around the world.
The setting is in the best tradition of fine small restaurants in Europe. Second Step is an intimate, cozy restaurant right in the Sato’s home. Here Jin uses his long experience in both French and Japanese cooking to create Provence-style cuisine with inspired Japanese touches. Add on an excellent selection of French wines and original cocktails created by Jin’s wife — your host, Yasuko.
