Best Japanese food near Kampala, Central Region, Uganda
Reviews on Japanese food in Kampala, Central Region, Uganda. Near the banks of Lake Victoria, Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is a lively city with a long history. Before the British, the city was the capital of the Buganda Kingdom, and remains so to this day. The city sits on several hills, each housing an important government or religious building. Kasubi Hill is the home of the Kasubi Tombs, a sacred burial ground of Buganda Kings. The Uganda Museum sits atop Kololo Hill, and features a hands-on collection of traditional musical instruments.

I would not have expected to have such delicious Japanese food in the middle of Kampala, but I did! This restaurant was recommended to me by some ex-pats in Kampala. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxing, the service was good and the food was every bit as good as I have eaten before and was at a good price. Hi Sarah san!Thanks for coming, and we're happy to have pleasantly surprised you. That's the best kind of feeling!We hope you will share what you've enjoyed with others, the same as your friends, the same way that the ones you mentioned shared with you!From August 2011, our first 4-5months we operated without a sign outside, and its actually quite fun the whole world-of-mouth thing ;)Cheers, and until next time!Hanif

After a month of Primus, Mützig, Skol, Bell, Tusker, Nile, etc., I was dying for an IPA. Banange Brewing was just what the beer doctor ordered. We poked our head into the brewery, said hello to brewmaster Adam, then headed next door to Yujo Izakata, a very good Japanese restaurant that does double duty as Banange's tasting room. I sampled the "Into the Void" session IPA, the "Kale Ale" amber, and the "Thirteen O'Clock" English bitter. Each was excellent. The IPA was the first to go down. At 5.1%, it's lower in alcohol content that the 7 to 8 percenters I prefer, but it punched way above its weight! We ordered sushi from YI and enjoyed a helluva lunch!

Ambience: excellent. Service: very good. The main courses (both Korean and Japanese) that we ordered were quite good too, but AVOID THE SUSHI. The sushi FISH was great (so the sashimi is fine) but at least 50% of sushi taste is in the rice - and this rice was totally flavorless. I tried to find *some* hint of vinegar in the sushi rice, but couldn't find any at all. I'd be surprised if they put vinegar in their sushi rice. My girlfriend commented that the sushi rice was also soggy, but the complete blandness of the rice was way more disturbing.

Fully Japanese and excellent ambience although smaller portions require you order more than one course. The meal is worth the wait although one ingredient for my juice order had run out when I visited.Thank you very much for dining with us and writing a review, OchwoN!We are sorry for failing to serve your order by missing an ingredient. We shall improve our stock management so we can fully satisfy you next time!We would like you to enjoy various types of food in a meal, so we make the portion moderate-sized. However our platters (SUMIBIYAKI, SUSHI, starters) are relatively big in volume, so we are sure you will be satisfied with an order! Please come back to check changes as we keep adding new features ;-)
