Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"This restaurant is absolutely insane and incredible. The flavours the way it served is exactly like you would expect in Tokyo. I’m very picky when it comes to Japanese food. And first I didn’t want to post about this restaurant…. Because I’m afraid too many people will go there and I won’t be able to get a table anymore. But it’s too good not to share.! I think it’s the best Japanese food I had outside of Japan in my life. The fish melts in your tongue. the flavors, the wasabi, and also the drinks that were served were all one amazing umami. Please when you visit this restaurant feel every bite with love"
"The best sushi I’ve ever had. The fish is incredibly fresh—it feels like it flies straight from the water on a business charter directly to the chef’s knife. The interior is calm, and the atmosphere is pleasant. There’s a great selection of wines and delicious sake. Prices are above average, but you’re guaranteed a gastronomic delight and the chance to enjoy exceptionally fresh and flavorful fish."
"After spending many years on my Berlin to try list I finally made it. And I was not disappointed. From the incredible starters everything is meticulously thought out, the flavours are so precise. I could have drunk my eggplant it was that divine. And oh my goodness that sushi I could eat that all day every day. Extremely happy and cannot wait to come back. For sure, this is the best sushi in Berlin if not in all of Germany."
"The best in Europe. Everything is worth every penny. Definitely mastered the fermenting technique for the fish. A must-try!"
"Everything is A ++ !! Outstanding food - Chef uses the freshest fish, nothing in Berlin comes close to the Sushi I had in Japan but this place. Amazing selection of Sake to pair with the meal. Attentive and friendly service. Nice atmosphere/ design. Great value for price. My recommendation: take the eel and also red turtle sake! Only 1% missing for me would be an even better dessert menu (I do very much much like the black sesame ice cream though!)"
"It’s definitely on the expensive side, but I doubt you’ll manage to find better sushi in Berlin. If you’re into raw fish nearly as much as me, it will be worth it. The service was impeccable. The space curated but intimate and cozy. Make sure to make a reservation!"
"Top sushi in Berlin, I haven’t found a spot better. The team who runs it are helpful kind and knowledgeable. The fish is fantastic the sushi chef a true master. The other dishes from the kitchen proper are great additions and beyond tasty. Make a reservation as it’s difficult to get a walk in. Everything about this place is 6 stars! Returned last week. My god this place is perfect! Love love love San"
"Amazing sushi sets with super fresh fish, great service and calm atmosphere. Great place for a date but be ready that prices are above average due to the quality."
