Yamazato is the signature restaurant at all Okura Hotels around the world, and there is a reason why: Culinarily speaking, it’s the crown jewel of cuisine offered at the Okura.
The restaurant in Hotel Okura Macau offers the most refined and exquisite sushi, kaiseki ryori meals — a series of beautiful dishes that perfectly reflect the season — and chef’s daily grill recommendations.
Morihiro Takeda, who heads the Japanese kitchen, has extensive experience in authentic Kyoto-style cuisine and provides tailor-made seasonal kaiseki menus. Every dish is beautifully prepared and served by a well-trained yet unobtrusive staff.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- Although there is a sushi and sashimi à la carte menu, if you go this route you’ll miss the whole point of dining here: kaiseki. The traditional multi-course Japanese meal has become synonymous with fine dining, and its menu offerings are the star attractions at the Forbes Travel Guide Recommended restaurant.
- Peruse from the selection of 40-plus sakes. The list includes hard-to-find choices, seasonal specials and sips from smaller regional breweries.
- While most of the staff wears Western dress, look for the handful of women in kimonos. These servers aren’t dressed up simply to match the restaurant’s soothing ambiance; they are from a Japanese hospitality school and are at Yamazato for up to a year to polish their skills.
Things to Know
- Yamazato serves lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday. The restaurant is closed Mondays.
- There’s actually no formal dress code at Yamazato, but since the Forbes Travel Guide Recommended restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere, you’ll likely feel most comfortable dressed in smart-casual attire. That means a nice shirt and slacks for men and upscale pants, dresses or skirts for women.
- If you’re staying at any of the Galaxy Macau hotels (Okura, Banyan Tree or Galaxy), simply make a phone call to the concierge to book your table, or you can make a reservation by calling 853-8883-5127.
