Enjoy a course of gently textured sushi and appetizers made with carefully selected ingredients.

Located just off the Nishiazabu intersection, in the basement along the Gaien Nishi Street, this sushi restaurant is run by a chef who trained at an exclusive sushi shop in Osaka's Kitashinchi that is notoriously difficult to get a reservation at. He crafts exquisite sushi, pairing each dish with carefully selected sake and wine.

The entrance features a wall treatment resembling armor plating, while the interior boasts a 6-meter long ginkgo counter and an earthen wall. In this space that embodies natural traditional beauty and tranquility, enjoy a special moment accompanied by delicately flavored sushi.

Please savor an 18-course meal featuring alternating nigiri and appetizers, along with soup and dessert. The sushi combines expertly selected seasonal ingredients with a subtly flavored vinegared rice that is gentle on the palate and not tiring to eat. The rice is made from large-grained Hatsushimo from Gifu Prefecture, and its firmness and sweetness are emphasized by adjusting the water and cooking method daily.

Using a blend of seven types of red vinegar, the sushi chef meticulously creates a vinegared rice that incorporates a tangy rice vinegar over the course of several days. The appetizers are innovative and will surely delight your palate.

Signature menu

  • Introduction of our chef
    Chef Masaki Kanemitsu trained as a chef for seven years at a Japanese restaurant in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, starting at the age of 16, and honed his skills as a sushi chef for six years at an unbookable sushi shop in Kitashinchi, mastering the art of selecting fish, techniques, and customer service. He became independent in January 2021 and opened "Sushi Yamata." He established a course menu that combines the gentle texture of red vinegar sushi, which is easy to eat without fatigue, and the traditional techniques and sensibilities of Japanese cuisine showcased in the sake dishes. His friendly personality and the approachable atmosphere typical of Kansai are also appealing.

    Our shop quietly resides in the basement of a building near the Nishiazabu intersection.
    Descend the stairs, and upon entering the shop, you'll find a clean and comfortable space illuminated by soft light.

  • A course of gentle sushi with red vinegar rice and specially crafted dishes.
    Please enjoy a course of about 18 dishes featuring alternating sushi and special dishes, along with soup and dessert. The sushi, made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients paired with subtly flavored rice, has a gentle texture that won't tire your palate. The rice is made from large-grain Hatsushimo from Gifu Prefecture. Every day, the water and cooking time are adjusted to highlight its firmness and sweetness. A special blend of seven types of red vinegar is crafted over several days, combined with a tangy rice vinegar, to create the sushi vinegar. The special dishes are exquisite creations for you to savor.
  • A selection of carefully chosen sake and wine that pair well with the dishes.
    The sake and wine paired with sushi and side dishes are carefully selected by the chef himself. We are conscious of enhancing the flavors of the ingredients, and the brands change with the seasons.
