Yamamori Sushi Bar - Dublin 1
|
When most people think whisky, they think Scotland, Kentucky and of course, Ireland. Rarely do they consider Japan. Yet Japan is one of the world’s great whisky producing and consuming nations. While whisky distilling in Japan is, compared to the Celtic nations, a relatively new enterprise, with Yamazaki, its first distillery, dating back to only 1924, Japanese whisky now counts many fans and has won many awards across the world.
Yamamori Sushi Bar is where old whiskey world meets new. Located in the heart of Dublin city centre, overlooking the famous Ha'Penny Bridge, it is an ideal place to discover what Ireland and Japan, these two great whiskey nations, can offer.
The restaurant itself is located in what are actually two stunning Georgian houses that boast original features, which have been tastefully incorporated into the Japanese theme. There are four different dining areas, including an outside bamboo garden which is fully covered and heated. The restaurant has a large open plan kitchen and also displays some beautiful 19th century Japanese art work.
In 2010, Yamamori decided to develop an idea to make a Japanese whisky bar, representing mainly Irish and Japanese whiskies. This idea stemmed from trips to Japan by Manager, Graham Ryan and his father, which took in many of Japan’s most famous whisky bars.
Yamamori Sushi Bar now has a selection of over 60 Irish whiskeys and over 20 Japanese whiskies. It’s an extremely friendly place, with a very lively and warm atmosphere whatever the time of day, so take a little time to browse over their whiskey menu. We suggest you celebrate both cultures and sample a Japanese Malt together with an Irish Single Pot Still, or compare a premium Japanese blend with an Irish blend. Yamamori also have a large selection of Japanese sake, plumb wine and premium beers, if you want to fully immerse yourself in the East meets West atmosphere.
The food in Yamamori is a lot more than just about an extensive and exciting range of sushi. You can select from their traditional Japanese grill menu, house specials, with an emphasis on seafood, and even vegetarians are extremely well catered for. There’s a great buzz about the place, especially when you can find up to 10 chefs working in their open plan kitchen.
Yamamori Sushi Bar is open 7 days a week from 12 until 22.30 Hrs Sunday to Thursday and until 23.30 Hrs on Friday and Saturday. Final advice: it’s an extremely popular place – book ahead if you can.
