About
Taki opened the same year as Hamasei, making 1974 something of a landmark year for Japanese cuisine in Rome. Founded by Nobuyasu Shoichi, the restaurant has maintained consistent Japanese management and kitchen direction across five decades. The JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) Certified Japanese Food Supporter designation is a meaningful credential: it certifies that the restaurant meets Japan's own standards for authentic Japanese cuisine. The combination of kaiten and à-la-carte service in the Prati district — near the Vatican — makes Taki one of Rome's most accessible quality Japanese experiences.
Neighborhood & visiting
Taki sits in Prati, 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.
