We found it! The best sushi in Berlin is in Prenzlauer Berg! When many other Japanese diners eat here, it’s definitely a good sign.

Sasaya: A Slice of Japan in the Heart of Berlin.

This seemingly simple and modest spot from the outside offers a cozy and comfortable atmosphere inside. Counter seating gives you the chance to watch the sushi master at work.

It’s fascinating to see how quickly the chef crafts sushi at Sasaya! You can choose to sit traditionally on Tatami-matted floors in Japanese style or at a regular table.

The waiting time might be a bit long since the head chef single-handedly prepares sushi for everyone, but it’s worth the wait. The sushi here is on par with what we’ve tasted in Japan.

The fish tastes so fresh as if it were caught just yesterday; its natural flavors come through beautifully. In addition to sushi, there are many other Japanese dishes and appetizers on the menu.

The food is served on elegant marble trays. For the full experience, order sake or tea to accompany your meal. If you’re planning to visit Sasaya on the weekend, be sure to make a reservation in advance.

As soon as the restaurant opens at 6:00 PM sharp, guests rush in through the door. A perfect 10/10 for the best and most traditional sushi in the city!

Enjoy your meal, and enjoy your Japanese evening in Berlin!
