About Sushidokoro Yamato
Sushidokoro Yamato opened in Tsukiji in 2021 under chef Yamato Yasui, who spent years at the kaiseki house Ginza Kojyu and then trained under Takaaki Sugita. He serves Edomae sushi at a nine-seat L-shaped cypress counter, in a spare, tea-hut-like room. The omakase leans toward nigiri, with rice seasoned by a blend of red and rice vinegar to suit a wide range of toppings.
Tabelog reviewers (4.30 rating) call the kohada the restaurant's calling card, praising its thick, meaty texture and sharp acidity against the umami. The aged Toyama Koshihikari rice draws notes for hitting the right temperature, and Yasui's quiet, gentle manner gets repeated mention. A widely read English write-up frames it as excellent and rising, with the hikarimono the one area some feel keeps it just short of the very top tier.
