Yokari serves authentic Japanese flavors

Centria Mall is Riyadh’s most luxurious and exclusive mall. It not only caters for some of the world’s most expensive brands but it also has a reputation for possessing some of the best restaurants in the capital.

Yokari the latest restaurant to open in Centria Mall is already the talk of the town. Yokari strives to give its customers the pleasure of true Japanese cuisine, uniquely refined and subtle. The Japanese themselves refer to it as “sappari” clean, neat, light and sparkling with honesty.

A reflection of the Japanese sensitivity toward foods is the great attention paid to each material being processed. Whereas the French and the Chinese tend to blend many ingredients together in one dish, the Japanese generally strive to preserve the intrinsic properties of each, so that they may all be equally important in taste as well as in appearance. Indeed, color, texture and shape are as important as the taste.

The Japanese do not divide their meals into one main course preceded by soup and accompanied by a salad and vegetables. The order of the Japanese formal meal often puts soup near the end, and usually includes both fish and meat, or several kinds of fish and a number of vegetables treated in different ways. However, a clear soup of “dashi” is usually served at the beginning of a meal. The bit of carrot used as a garnish is quite distinct in taste, color and shape; each ingredient in the soup is to be relished separately, for its own special character.
