BC DEALS WITH YET ANOTHER COVID-19 DINE-IN SERVICE HIATUS

COVID-19 has dealt yet another blow to the restaurant and foodservice industry in BC as the province today announced new restrictions that force bars and restaurants around the province to halt dine-in service until Monday, April 19.

As our good friend Iori Kataoka, Co-Owner of Yuwa Japanese Cuisine in Vancouver said following the announcement, “Today’s news is certainly disappointing as we were very strictly following all regulations, but as always we will adapt. We are in the final stretch and will work together to get through this.”

As they did last spring, the team at @yuwa_japanese will again shutter their Kitsilano dining room and refocus on their takeout and delivery programs as well as offering limited dinner service on its heated patio.

They will also continue to offer 30% off bottles of wine and sake for all pickup orders placed through the restaurant, which is open Wednesdays through Sundays.

Despite this setback, Iori maintains an attitude of hope and gratitude.

“Each change we’ve had to navigate has made us increasingly aware of the importance of community and we’re so grateful to have had the care and support of our guests throughout the past year,” she said. “We hope we can continue to find moments of connection with them on our patio and through take-out and delivery until the time is safe once again to welcome everyone back into our dining room.”

Stand tall. Stay strong. Show love. Support local.
