Yamato is our favorite sushi restaurant in the Tucson area.
The quality of the fish is always top notch and the sushi chef is meticulous in his preparation.
Dining here is always an enjoyable experience. The seating area is small, so reservations are recommended.
The dining area is bright with a relaxed feel but you'll be focused on the flavors too much to be overly critical of your surroundings. The Chirashi is always made with a nice selection of fish.
I highly recommend the cured salmon that the chef makes in-house. We also ordered the Hamachi Kama during one visit, which was also excellent.

Authentic.
House made tamago and all the ingredients to make a legitimate futomaki… which is rare these days.
Nigiri was tasty and the Japanese curry was delicious but I should have ordered it with a bit more heat.
My least favorite were the spicy tuna and spicy scallop hand rolls - full disclosure: I alone at the nigiri and curry pictured, so it was likely that my eyes were bigger than my stomach.
Definitely worth a stop.

Best and most authentic Japanese food anywhere around these parts.
The nice man who makes all the sushi is a master, and has been doing this for as long as I can remember.
His wife (I believe) makes all the cooked food in the back kitchen with so much care and love.
This is the ultimate family-owned restaurant experience.
Try the vegetable udon soup, it is just like magic healing soup!
