Welcome To
Yama Sushi Emporium
The highly anticipated opening of Yama Sushi Emporium, the concept and vision of Co-Owners of Ōku Asian Eatery Chef/restaurateur duo Ryan Shell and Darren Badenhorst (Le coin Français, Le chêne and Tuk Tuk Microbrewery), is here.
The two acclaimed chefs, with over 30 years of hospitality experience, are pooling their culinary prowess to create Franschhoek’s first dedicated Sushi restaurant, Takeaway and Asian retail venue.
Total renovations of the interior and exterior ensure a purpose designed space to create a casual, calming and refined eating and retail experience.
Conceptualised on a culinary exploration of Indonesia in 2013, Darren and Ryan were especially inspired by the Gili Islands.
The two chefs had ample time to refine the idea whilst working together to feed the Franschhoek community during the Covid-19 lock down period, resulting in a thoroughly conceptualised, authentic and flavour packed food and beverage offering, as well as the ability to understand the requirements of running multiple restaurants, venues and takeaways in the most safe and secure way possible by following the strictest Covid -19 protocols.
Bookings essential to avoid disappointment.
