The Experience

From Michelin Guide

Temporarily closed.In the centre of Zurich, right next to the historical Münsterhof square, this compact sushi restaurant is tucked away in a side street. Seated at the counter in a sophisticated yet informal interior, guests are treated to a seasonal omakase menu. The charming proprietress will guide you through the evening (in English), and you can also watch the sushi being prepared. In the evening, the set menu is served at two sittings. At lunchtime, there is also a short sushi and sashimi menu. Whether you prefer wine or sake with your meal, there are some real gems to be had – but with a price tag to match. Be sure to reserve, as the restaurant has only eight seats! Given the location just a stone's throw from the River Limmat, you should not miss the opportunity to take a stroll while you are here.
