When you go to the recently opened Yamasho, you won’t only be yelling at the top of your lungs from the sake. Tucked away in the Tenderloin is Yamasho, the latest and most unique sushi bar to open in SF of recent memory. The main attraction at Yamasho is not just the authentic, fresh, and handcrafted sushi. Oh no. Yahamsho has not 1, not 2, not 3, but 9, yes 9, downstairs themed karaoke rooms, decorated as Tokyo, Kyoto, Kyushu, New York, etc., featuring flat screen tv's and Japanese seat cushions covering benches that line the walls. To order, you simply pick up a white telephone from your room and order some room service. A perfect location from breaking the ice on a first date to entertaining and laughing at your co-workers, Yamasho is a unique and distinctive destination.

While Yamasho is new, it certainly is not unheard of. Praise of this Karaoke bar is being sung louder than Journey after a handful of sake bombs. If you plan on headed into the ‘Loin to check, and belt it out, its recommended that you call in advance, as many large groups and private parties reserve these rooms ahead of time. However that’s not to say you can’t simply stumble through the door and right up onto the stage. Take your time when deciding what song you want to hang your hat on though, as they have about as much a variety of music as they do saki. And don’t worry about stumbling out for late night food, the menu stays open until 1:30 am. Kampai! Or is it Kompai? Well, something close to one of those means cheers in Japanese, but we never remember on account of all the sake bombs. Oops.
