Izakaya Matsuri

Cape Town


Genial Arata-san serves some of the best sushi and rolls to be found in Cape Town, along with other Japanese izakaya pub-grub including noodles and tempura. When the weather's warm, tables shift from the attractive interior hung with giant white and red paper lanterns out to the courtyard area.
