Welcome to Yamato Japanese Restaurant - authentic Japanese food.
Often, when something becomes fashionable, it loses its authenticity because it gets copied and mass-produced. People who buy into it frequently don't appreciate or understand the tradition or the art behind the concept. This is true of many of the culinary arts, Sushi and Sashimi, in particular. The other problem is that people associate the sum of Japanese food with Sushi, Sashimi and Teppanyaki, while there is in fact much more.
Yamato, which is the old world name for Japan, is a traditional Japanese restaurant in the very best sense of the word. It is a family run restaurant where true Japanese food is lovingly prepared in a kitchen where only fresh ingredients are used to make the Tofu, sauces and noodles that in most other restaurants, are usually out sourced. All of the other ingredients necessary are imported by Yamato, directly from Japan.
Yamato has once again won more awards: WineMag's Top 100 Restaurants and Top 10 Smart Casual, Eat Out's 2006 "People's Choice Award" in the Fab 15, and WineMag's "South Africa's Top Restaurants 2007" in the Top 10: Special Occasions. Enjoy the finest Japanese food, sushi, sashimi, noodles and more.
