“ An exquisite dining experience where each dish was meticulously refined and presented in such a thoughtful way. I did not have the alcohol pairing but discovered sparkling tea for the first time as an excellent alternative. ”
“ I experienced for the first time the authentic Japanese cuisine. The place is small and cozy. There are not the classic tables but you sit down at a long desk in front of the Chef and his assistants, so that you can see the way the courses are prepared. The food and the Sake were delicious and definitely worth the price of the bill. If you're new to Japanese cuisine just let the kind staff working there to guide you through an experience that will definitely enrich you. Reservation is mandatory. ”
“ If you’re going to open your wallet in Berlin this is definitely the place to do it! Very intimate environment with less than a dozen seats I think and only one seating each evening. The food was impeccable - especially loved the tuna futomaki, chawanmushi, wagyu sukiyaki & fish tempura courses though I think change seasonally. Delicious tea and sake pairings on offer & can combine if want less sake. If I return to Berlin, I hope to come back! ”
“ Great Japan experience! Can only recommend. Service, food & atmosphere - Everything top! ”
“ Great service and stunning food experience. Booked here last minute while on a business trip to Berlin. The omakase menu is in some way authentic, however, tailored for Europeans with perhaps a greater complexity than you normally get in Japan. Every meal is an artwork in presentation and taste combinations. The sake tasting menu is carefully put together and highly recommended instead of wine. Being a Japanese food lover, I would perhaps like to see even more nigiri throughout the meal However, German fish quality may not allow it. Overall a 5 rating of food and service! Some people comment that the prices are high here They are not. This is a truly premium restaurant and prices are actually not high compared to similar experiences in other European cities. The only place this type of meal is cheaper is in Japan. Buckle up for true artwork of a food experience - highly recommend this place! ”
“ We had a wonderful evening here with a 15-course omakase, each dish prepared to be a perfect small piece of art to eat. The recommended beverages (sake and alcohol free options) were complementing the flavour of the dishes very well and overall pleasant to drink. Definitely recommended when in Berlin! ”
“ Blessed to have been part of this special evening with Shiori. Sitting in this warm, intimate space, I let myself go and thoroughly enjoyed the chefs’ guidance in rhythm. As the story unfolded course by course, the flavors were fleeting yet unforgettable. Every bite and touch to the culinary crafts felt like a decelerator to my interpretation of time. There was not a single extra move as the chefs precisely and swiftly presented each dish. At a point, I vaguely felt like I had become part of a great painting in this little quiet alley in Berlin. What a treat it was, and how lucky I was to be one of this evening's ten guests during my short escape to Europe. Thank you all again. ”
“ Book well in advance. Service and atmosphere were impeccable. Quality of the various dishes served was superb, pulling in new and unexpected flavors. Highly recommend the sake (or non-alcoholic) pairings as they enhance the meal significantly. You’re missing a major part of the flavor profile without them, which isn’t always the case with pairings. While the price may seem steep, it matches the quality of the ingredients and certainly the level of showmanship and service excellence. ”
