About
Sasaya on Lychener Straße is one of Berlin's most enduring Japanese restaurants: since the early 2000s, the Japanese owner family — centered around Hideki Abe — has run this purist sushi spot with no prominent signage. The focus is on fresh fish, honest craft, and Japanese hospitality. Those who secure a seat at the sushi counter experience a level of preparation that evokes Tokyo. Reservations are essential, especially on weekends.
