About
Yabase has occupied its Klosterstraße address for more than 30 years, making it one of the most enduring Japanese restaurants in Germany. The compact counter-style dining room creates the intimate atmosphere of a traditional Japanese sushi bar, where nigiri, sashimi and maki are prepared to order in front of guests. MICHELIN Guide listing confirms the quality credentials recognised by discerning diners for generations. Limited evening hours (closing at 20:00) underline the restaurant's classical, unhurried pace.
