About
Doozo — meaning 'please, go ahead' in Japanese — is one of Rome's most unusual dining destinations: a Japanese-owned space that functions as restaurant, gallery, bookshop, and tea room under one roof. Chef Endo Kazuhiko from Tokyo oversees a menu that goes beyond sushi to include kaiseki tasting menus and shojin ryori, the Buddhist temple vegetarian cuisine rarely found outside Japan. The tea room operates Tuesday to Saturday for those seeking matcha and traditional Japanese sweets without a full meal. Art exhibitions by Japanese artists rotate through the gallery space, making each visit culturally distinct.
Neighborhood & visiting
Doozo Art Book & Sushi sits in Monti, one of Rome's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
