Small Japanese eatery on a side street off Steglitz's Feuerbachstrasse, long a fixed point on Berlin's Japan map.
Low wooden tables, bright pine, paper lanterns — the room takes the form that in Japan sits halfway between restaurant and tavern. Run by a husband-and-wife team with a clean split: warm kitchen here, sushi and sashimi there. The menu stays traditional — bento, tempura, donburi, plus a dedicated sushi list. The signature is the sushi-sashimi board, built at the counter at an almost ceremonial pace: each piece placed, rice tempered. That quiet tone is why Japanese regulars sit here too.
