Rotorua's hidden gem for authentic Japanese cuisine since 2001.

At Yamato, every dish is prepared with the precision and care of Japanese dining, using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. Watch our chefs craft sushi and sashimi by hand at the counter, or settle into a table with family and friends.

What truly sets Yamato apart is the warmth: smiling staff, genuine hospitality, and a dining experience that makes every guest feel like a star.

One of the few genuinely authentic Japanese restaurants in New Zealand, and one of Rotorua's best-kept secrets. Takeaway is also available.
