Shiki – Best Japanese

Eating at Shiki is an exotic culinary adventure. Forget what you know about Japanese restaurants and get ready to dive into a completely new experience. The concept has been crafted to be unique by it’s owner – who happens to also be a violinist and conductor – Mr. Joji Hattori.
Shiki boasts a fusion between western interior design and an the oriental way of bringing together a bunch of details that create the perfect zen – you can spot the Japanese beauty at work in the handmade paper on the table, the dark ceilings, the vine-covered wall. And same goes for the firey food fusion happening here.

Ingredients are fresh, and the cuisine is a contemporary take on Japanese tradition where a blowtorch is commonplace in the kitchen. For example, the delicacy of sashimi and tartare will make your eyes widen like a manga comic character. The mix of flavours the sushi master – chef Rico Rassbach – makes are a rare take on the raw fish rolls. That’s right, Rico, the chef, is German, but he’s more Japanese than a Geisha.
It’s not cheap, but if you go at lunch, you can experience the reasonably priced Shiki Contemporary Sushi menu.
