About
Mikuni is an Altstadt institution, occupying a small but unmistakably authentic Japanese space on the Fahrgasse that has been a benchmark for Frankfurt's Japanese food scene for more than three decades. The owner-chef prepares sushi at the bar, and reviewers of Japanese origin have praised the knife work and fish sourcing as being genuinely close to Tokyo standards. Beyond sushi, the kitchen produces outstanding tempura, soba, udon, rice bowls and seasonal washoku dishes. The tatami-style corner of the dining room and the no-phone area reinforce its deeply traditional Japanese identity. Booking ahead is essential.
