Tucked way in the middle of Yorkville is Yamato, an up-scale authentic Japanese restaurant serving an innovative selection of some of the city's best sushi, sashimi, and udon soup for over 30 years. Equally well known for their ever-popular teppanyaki, it's Yamato's sushi and sashimi that keeps me coming back each and every time. The Spicy Hotategai, chopped fresh scallops mixed with tobiko flying fish roe and spicy mayonnaise is particularly noteworthy — the best I've ever had and worth the trip alone. Another favourite, the Ikura salmon roe, is served perfectly chilled, embraced in crisp blanket of nori and served with tangy white gari, or pickled ginger. Another favourite is Yamato's Sashimi, which is so fresh, it seems to melt in your mouth, from Botan Ebi, large prawns, Miraugai, giant clams and Toro, marbled tuna, I always end up ordering the Sake Atlantic Salmon and Yellowtail Hamachi. More elaborate seaweed rolls like the Dragon Roll with shrimp tempura, barbecued eel and tobiko fish roe with sliced avocado, is a treat for the taste buds as well the eye. The service is consistently efficient, courteous and always with a smile.
