Yataro Sushi - Kagoshima

Friendly sushi master and vibe. Went there twice in 3 days . Just so enjoyed their sushi and miso soap. Love it

Every visitor in Kagoshima should definitely visit this restaurant. It has very authentic atmosphere, and the sushi is very unique and tasty. We liked to sit at the sushi bar and watch how the sushi chef was making the sushi. Not only the ingredients but also the look of the sushi was so special and delicious. We got treated with Sochu (Kagoshima special drink made of sweet potato) by friendly locals who were also dining there. Also the sushi chef treated us with extra delicious goodies. We loved to communicate with locals as well as the restaurant staff who were so open and made our evening very memorable. Thanks a lot. arigato gozaimasu.

Exceptional sushi and great service. We went for lunch and had the 3,000 yen set. The best value meal we’ve had in Japan!

Best sushi spot in Japan!! By far! It's best to speak a little Japanese, but I was lucky and had bilingual guest there both times. The food is amazing, the price is incredible for the service and quality of food. It's a local spot but extremely welcoming. I always left with my belly full and a big smile on my face. I can't wait to go back!

My wife and I visited this place for dinner on a Thursday night. The staff were all very welcoming and the food was delicious. We had the chef's choice of sushi, chawanmushi, clam and mushroom soup, and coffee. Despite us knowing only very basic Japanese, we had a great evening. The waitress spoke some English and they also have an English menu. We would love to return again soon. A hidden gem and a step up from your average sushi bar highly recommended.
