(Totally Dublin, 1 September 2019)
“As Yamamori gets set to mark twenty-five years in business, we recently caught up with MD Graham Ryan, to see what’s new at one of our favourite spots to eat in Dublin. He talks to us about his longstanding involvement with the company his father founded a quarter of a century ago and their ongoing commitment to Japanese food and culture.”
From the Interview: Can you tell us about the inspiration behind the food and drink on offer at Yamamori? What’s your own favourite item from the menu?
“Our inspiration and drive is to educate, Yamamori brought Japanese food to Dublin 25 years ago and we have added more dishes and authenticity to our offering as time moved on. We want to continue to do that along with improving ourselves and products. Finding the right quality products is a never ending journey.”

The Sunday Times: Interview with Graham Ryan (29 September 2019)
“When Graham Ryan started at St Mary’s College in Dublin at the age of nine, he needed boots to play rugby. His father told him he could pay for them by washing glasses in the family business.
Ryan has been involved in that firm — restaurant chain Yamamori — ever since, apart from the years he spent in Japan. His father, Derek, opened Yamamori in 1995 following the sale of his first business.” (words by Sandra O’Connell / The Times)
