Was moved to tears 3x: the Japanese service quality compared to the horror you're used to in Germany. The delicious taste of shrimp dipped in macha-salt. The bill. It was worth it!

One of the most romantic restaurants I’ve eaten at. And an amazing sake list. That said: the food was average. I had the 8 course menu + 1 pork belly and none of the dishes were extremely remarkable.

Tasting menu both for sake and food are delicious. Great service. If you want a quiet , ask for it. Enjoy :)

What a great place: fab food, great service, incredibly surprising wnjoyable traditional interior. There was nothing westernized about the food and the place and it made it a perfect experience.

Beck Moore

Beautiful place, very friendly Japanese staff and delicious food made with attention to detail. Choose a few plates to share. Loved it.

Philipp Friedlein

Outstanding service , best sake in town and finest fish . The atmosphere is the cherry on the cake . I'm in love with this place

Irina Botea

Elegant and private. All dishes are exquisite. On the pricier side but perfect for a date, celebration or business dinner .

Lana Criggs

Best Kakuni in Berlin and the freshest sashimi . Also probably the biggest Sake selection around.

Ale Tower

Love the ambience and the omakase is excellent. A touch on the expensive end, but worth every euro.

Stefan Zeidler

highly overrated and apart from the cosy labyrinth atmosphere interior, i liked a lot, it's pricey . even after 8 rather miniscule courses, I was left a bit hungry. the desserts however were good.

Jenny Chen

Great Japanese cuisine in Berlin with sashimi , tempura and many other great dishes.

Sven Gabriel

The 8 course menu was delicious especially the fish .

Japan exported to a cellar in Berlin - great!

Not great value for money but nice vibe and very good japanese food . food isn't bad but this place is definitely more about style than substance. 9/10 on style, 7/10 on food

Marie Thomsen

Amazing food loved the place, on the pricy side but worth it

Yuri Kraymar

Omakase menu was super nice. Sake tasting not necessarily worth it.

Tao Tao

Not great value for money but best interior design of any restaurant in Berlin. 10/10 for style, 7/10 for food $$$

Food and atmo

Chris Ked

Nice venue and interior. Service and food not good enough. Food was rushed to the table and 4/8 dishes had no taste.

Reut Rahav

It’s more about the design and vibe but food is not bad

Sehr tolle intime Atmosphäre!Super für ein romantisches Essen,aber auch für Gruppen,Geschäftsessen geeignet.Top Service!Sehr leckeres Essen mit hoher Lebensmittelqualität! Immer wieder empfehlenswert!

Lisa

Wunderschönes Restaurant mit tollem Konzept. 8- oder 4-Gänge-Menüs mit außergewöhnlichen Gerichten, dazu auch Sake-Begleitung möglich. Geschmack und die Qualität waren einmalig! Sehr netter Service!

Maximilian Saltzman

Auf jeden Fall das Omakase-Menü nehmen - mein japanischer Freund und ich waren begeistert. Die Klingel a Tisch ist eine witzige Idee, auch wenn sie bei dem aufmerksamen Service nicht nötig war.

Susann Heinemann

Megagutes Restaurant . Menü mit Sake-Tasting, beste Kombi. #hicks

Hier fehlt das Gefühl, die Liebe zum Essen! Man sitzt in seiner 1sr class Kabine, der Vorhang geht auf, Essen kommt, Vorhang runter und man ist wieder allein.

This is the best food ever had it in Berlin. The chef is amazing, creative and brings real Japanese fine dining experience. The place is super cozy, not fancy at all but also not hipster. - Andras Konfar
