About 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.

  • Tatami Zashiki Space: Low-lit traditional floor seating accommodates family dinners and relaxed gatherings with comfort.
  • Chef's Personal Catch: Daily specials frequently include fresh seafood hooked directly by the owner-chef.
  • Specialty Pre-Ordered Feasts: Advance phone reservations unlock multi-course banquets spotlighting local grouper and stonefish.
