But I was very impressed by the vegetarian sushi platter I had. The vegetables were fresh, and the presentation was great. I enjoyed my meal and would...recommend it to anyone.

It seats only people and is totally unprepossessing with diner-type chairs, tables and benches. No tablecloths or pretensions here. We stayed...nearby and so decided to try it out without high hopes as we are so often disappointed by Japanese restaurants in Europe. We ate here once and liked it so much that we came back twice during our week stay in Berlin! It's hard to find a restaurant where the chef knows how to fry tempura, but the owner of this shop does it just right: crispy but not burned and never greasy. And when you order tempura moriawase, you get an amazing fried prawns. I usually stay away from tempura as it's uncooked and greasy in most places, but I ordered it on all three visits. And surprising for a small neighborhood restaurant in Berlin, the sushi was fresh and the chef knows how to prepare it. My husband also liked the udon. The rice was good, the edamame were well cooked but still crispy. And I loved the Daifuku mochi for dessert (though it's spelled Daifuso here). There's no choice of sake, but that didn't matter because the one offered is so good, and heated to just the right temperature. The only thing missing? Pickles, but we aren't complaining. Caveat: there's only one chef so if you happened to arrive at a busy time, you might have to wait for your food. But we ate early and service was very friendly and efficient. I liked this far more than Daitokai and Kushinoya. Less atmosphere but far better food.

The best sushi shop definitely try the crab tempura super nice. Everything super fresh and delicious. read more The best sushi shop definitely try the crab tempura super nice. Everything super fresh and delicious.
