If you have a craving for Sushi while in Joburg, you need look no further than Yamato. This Japanese restaurant is located in the suburb of Illovo, and they pride themselves on staying true to their Japanese traditions. What this means, is that you will be treated to the finest Sushi, which has been lovingly prepared with only the freshest ingredients, many of which are imported directly from Japan.
Yamato is about more than just Sushi and Sashimi, however. You’ll find a full range of fine meals, including various soups, salads, a range of Japanese-style meat dishes, and of course a wide variety of some of the most flavoursome noodles. Also be sure to check out the deserts – their Green Tea Ice Cream is a particularly refreshing way to end your meal.
While they have gone to great lengths to maintain an authentic atmosphere, there is a contemporary element that really gives the Yamato the edge. And if you don’t believe us, take a look at their impressive selection of rewards – they’ve been acknowledged by even the country’s toughest food critics. Booking is recommended, because even though the restaurant is well sized, it’s quite likely that you won’t find a last-minute table.
