There are three South African restaurants in the Western Cape that are absolutely nailing the Japanese taste experience. Our two reviewers, Emma and Owen, both Japan-food enthusiasts who have travelled Japan far and wide in search of the best food, set their sights on the Western Cape to Cape Town-based Momiji in Longmarket Street and Fyn on Parliament Street, as well as Hoseki on the Delaire Graff Estate in Stellenbosch.
Emma and Owen were looking for a variety of things – authenticity, great taste, amazing technique, presentation, service and that special Japan magic. It is evident that the Western Cape’s restaurants are picking up on all of these!
Part One: Our Adventure to Momiji
By the end of our culinary adventure we felt well-fed, and genuinely delighted. We highly recommend visiting these special restaurants for a taste of Japanese flavours close to home.
