Ooh, I finally found a real Japanese (or precisely Kyoto) food restaurant run by a real good Japanese couple. I am from Tokyo and have lived London and Berlin for 10 years and for the first time after a long time, I thought I had a real Japanese food. The chef is a Japanese architect as well, and all the interior is done by himself. It is quiet and spacious place and very cozy atmosphere. Daily menu is only a course menu with 5 smaller dishes (if you are still hungry at the end, they can serve you a little bit more, but I think you will be fine with 5 dishes). All the dishes are so precise and wonderful and enjoyable both visually and by tasting. The couple pick ingredient everyday and to me, it is so nice to find a place in Köpenick!! It can have only 8 people and well spaced so it does not bother other people.
You need to book the table beforehand otherwise you may be disappointed. But visiting Köpenick, walking around the waterfront or enjoy boat trip and come to this place at the end of the day can be such a peaceful day for me. Strongly recommended! read more
