With sweeping city views from the twenty-fourth floor of The Okura Prestige Hotel, Yamazato is one of the most refined and elegant Japanese dining experiences in town. Specialising in the Japanese haute cuisine culture of 'kaiseki', offering a truly luxurious experience of season-focused Japanese dining. With a real sense of occasion and privacy, this is an ideal choice for special occasions. Several 'kaiseki' menu options can be chosen depending on your preference of main dish. The highly recommended 'sushi kaiseki', for example, features an appetiser, soup, grilled dish, assorted tempura, and a sushi platter consisting of eight nigiri and three rolls followed by a dessert. This is a well-varied and satisfying culinary journey that will ensure a full exploration of the best seasonal Japanese flavours. Equally recommended is the 'tempura kaiseki', following the same courses but with a larger platter of exquisitely crunchy, tempura. With more advanced booking, Yamazato also offers sittings for omakase courses at the chef's sushi counter. For diners preferring to customise their own meals, there is an extensive a la carte menu offering impressive dishes from donburi rice bowls and noodles to sushi and grilled dishes, all with highest quality ingredients. An impressive wine, spirits, sake, and cocktail menu completes this luxurious dining experience setting up for a long and indulgent evening.
