Restaurants in Yangon (Rangoon
Arguably Yangon’s, if not Myanmar’s, finest Japanese restaurant, Kohaku is a favorite with affluent Burmese, business travelers, and tourists looking for a change from local food, and is therefore full most nights, so call ahead. Everything’s fresh, especially the sushi (the fish is flown in daily), and the hamachi nigiri sushi is sublime.
