Yamachang is a restaurant owner in Insomnia in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. He is a refugee from Galahd, a former territory of Lucis that was invaded by Niflheim. He operates a restaurant in a poor part of Insomnia that serves Galahdian cuisine that is frequented by Kingsglaive members, though his food is criticized by the likes of Libertus Ostium for being unauthentic and made to cater Insomnian tastes. He wears a t-shirt with Li'l Malbuddy print, a popular cartoon character in Insomnia.
The Semur Skewers dish is seen in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV at Yamachang's street food joint. Its game version debuted in the Assassin's Festival where it was specified as Galahdian cuisine.
