Sakai – Best Japanese

Sakai’s cosiness puts you immediately at ease. The name of the restaurant is the surname of the owner and chef, Hiroshi Sakai. Hiroshi comes from Sapporo and he’s brought all of the typical crab-centric dishes from this region with him. For example, the Kani No To jimushi (a tofu skin filled with crab meat and seasonal vegetables).

Ingredients are consistently of a high quality and fresh. And while finding fresh fish in Vienna is like finding a fishing hook in a desert, Hiroshi has a Croatian supplier bringing in a fresh catch regularly, which makes the impossible, possible. . There is enough of a sake selection to keep any fan happy, and also plenty of other Japanese drinks. The walls are always covered by exhibitions from different artists, painters and photographers.

We recommend… you check out the Sunday brunch! It’s all-you-can-eat, and there’s a spread of Sashimi Sushi, and a good variety of cooked dishes.
You have to try… the delicious deep-fried tuna and Tempura.
