About this project

Yuji Bringing walkability and new infrastructure to the city, Atlantans boast about the BeltLine for good reason, and the latest BeltLine buzz grows with Junction Krog Street’s new hot spot Yuji Modern Japanese.

Led by visionary Alex Kinjo of MF Sushi, Kinjo Room, and Yakitori Kona, the new Japanese venture is a shining star on his extensive resume.

Influence from the culturally rich Japanese city is evident upon first glance. A true renaissance man, Kinjo led interior design efforts and was guided by scenes from his nature-filled trips when visiting Matsumoto. Cherry blossom blooms and paper lanterns linger overhead, while a wall of windows allows for an extra dreamy golden hour. What was once a hindrance during development, an unsightly support column was beautifully transformed into a showstopping 360-degree bar with radial wood beams and sparkling pendant lights.
