Book NowAbout Yamato Japanese Restaurant
Yamato serves unvarnished Japanese home cooking in Sanur, where Kyoto specialties and proper sushi rice outshine the quiet highway facade. Behind the unassuming entrance lies a warm, low-lit refuge run by an owner-chef who prepares honest comfort fare—from chilled zaru soba and crisp shrimp tempura to steaming dashi noodles. Diners in the know point to the fresh catch landed personally by the chef when luck strikes, alongside pre-booked multi-course feasts featuring local grouper and sashimi.
