The Quiet Soul of Yataii Meet Yeemi Ningshen. A gentle force behind the authenticity of our Japanese dining experience. There’s a quiet confidence to Yeemi Ningshen who is calm, composed, always attentive. At Yataii, that presence doesn’t go unnoticed. She moves with grace, serves with intent, and carries with her a deep respect for the Japanese culture that Yataii represents. “Japanese hospitality is so deliberate and thoughtful, every gesture matters,” she says. “It’s something I’m still learning every day, but I love it. The more I understand the culhture, the more I’m able to reflect that in the way I serve.” Yeemi, who studied Hotel and Hospitality Administration at IHM Guwahati and holds an MBA in Tourism and Hospitality, is no stranger to guest expectations. But it’s her willingness to learn and her quiet dedication to detail that truly shines. She takes the time to understand not just what’s on the plate, but why it’s there, how dishes are meant to be enjoyed, what they represent, and how best to present them to someone discovering them for the first time. Her personal favourites? “The Flamed Sushi Nigiri is always a lovely way to start, it is light, elegant and easy to enjoy. And I often recommend the Chicken Ramen Bowl and Sauteed Yakitori . Guests are always amazed at how delicate and rich it tastes,” she shares with a smile. It’s this kind of insight which is not just simple but thoughtful and grounded in experience that makes Yeemi such a valuable part of the Yataii story. Her presence adds a layer of warmth and authenticity to the fine dining experience, reminding us that hospitality is not just in the food, but in the people who serve it.
