• Welcome to YAMA. Yama means mountain in Japanese. Japanese mountains are relatively unspoiled and preserved with breathtaking natural features. They are beautiful and a lovely part of Japan's landscape. We named our restaurant Yama because we want you to experience some of the beauty of Japan through the cuisine. Japanese food is traditionally fresh, healthy, low in fat and believed to satisfy all your senses. Yama strives to deliver food in an aestically pleasing presentation and with great care. We'll only use the freshest ingredients and top quality selections and combine them in a way that not only delights the eye but pleases the palate.
