We decided to check this place based on a review from Tripadvisor and absolutely loved it. I rarely ever look at the reviews there but in this instance we decided to give it a go. It is probably the best flavours I have had at a Japanese restaurant in Germany, to date. It's a decent sized restaurant with two floors of seating. It's simple but tastefully decorated. The waiter was very friendly and quick to serve and answer questions. The menu is quite extensive and there is plenty of sushi, sashimi, yakitori, udon, tempura and other Japanese dishes. I ordered a Nagoya sushi / sashimi combo, miso soup and a soft shell crab roll. We were sharing this across two people and it was more than enough food for that. The food arrived quickly and I loved my miso soup. It was intense in flavour and tasted delicious. The sashimi was of good quality and the soft shell crab roll was crispy and delicious also. The other two people had different dishes and they equally enjoyed their meals. We sent back three empty plates. Prices are reasonable and the quality high. I would definitely come back here again anytime. Great Japanese food that tastes delicious and reasonably priced. Who would have thought eh ? ;-)) read more

A later night meal because I was just not filled up enough with a mid-afternoon meal of traditional German food. Hey Mitchell, wish you were here, you'd have like this. I ate the following, which all were quite good, and reminded me of Takumi back home in Madison: Maguro | Bluefin tuna | 95/100 Sake | Salmon | 90/100 Hirame | Flounder | 95/100 Saba | Mackerel | not scoring, it wouldn't be fair, I just don't care enough for mackerel Hokkigai | Clam | 90/100 Ika | Squid/Calamari | 95/100 Tako | Octopus | 100/100 Tobbiko | flying fish roe | 95, almost as good as real beluga caviar Ebi | Shrimp | 90/100 Amaebi | Shrimp | 90/100 Tomago egg with minced fish - not rated, this is basic stuff, hard to mess up Inari tofu - not rated, this is basic stuff, hard to mess up Overall score came to 93-and-a-third - pretty good, I enjoyed it very much. Sake, rice wine, that is, doesn't seem to be as available in Germany as in the US. I drank the Junmai. For my German-reading readers, here's the information on their Sake, in German, I'll try to get it into English for the majority of readers of my reviews. If I've committed any typos, please tell me kindly. German is NOT my first or second language, and it is hard. I've tried to put all diacritical marks that belong, in the right places. Okay, deutsch comes in second place, the English version is now, first: Yamadanishiki no sato Jitsuraku / Tokubetsu Junmai Clear, dry and at the same time strong-tasting from 100% Yamadanishiki rice and natural spring water from the Rokko mountains. Due to the particularly gentle and elaborate brewing tradition, this Shochu has its own special taste. Honjozo Namazake Elegant sake with a rounded and at the same time flavor-intensive bouquet. The special feature of this wholesome sake is its wonderfully volatile flavor. Due to the special production this sake tastes as it would fresh from the brewery. Tokubetsuhonjozo / Yamada-Nishiki This sake is made from the Yamada-Nishiki rice field in the Hyogo Prefecture on Honshu. This type of rice contains very little protein and therefore gives a delightfully refreshing taste. The Kyusui spring water used comes from Nishinomiya; also in the Hyogo Prefecture. This sake has a very elegant and exclusive taste, a real Honjozo sake. A trilingual glossary: Japanese | German | English Sake | Lachs | Salmon Maguro | Thunfisch | Bluefin or Bigeye Tuna Ebi | Großgarnele | boiled or raw shrimp Ama Ebi | Süsse Grönlandgarnele | Northern Prawns / Spot Shrimp Kani | Krebsfleisch | crabmeat Hamachi | Gelbschwanz | Yellowtail tuna Ikura | Lachs Rogen | Salmon Roe Unagi | Eingelegter Aal | Freshwater Eel pickled or preserved Suzuki | Zander | Sea Bass Hotata Gai | Jakobsmuscheln | scallop Ika | Sepia | cuttlefish or squid tako | Pulpo | Octopus Saba | Makrele | mackerel tamago | Japanisches Omlett | egg omelet, may contain minced fish Kani Kama | Krebs Fleisch Imitat | imitation crab Inari | Sojabohnen Taschen | Soybean/Tofu _______________ deutsch _________________ Yamadanishiki no sato Jitsuraku/Tokubetsu Junmai Klarer, trockener und gleichzeitig geschrnacksintensiver aus 100% Yamadanishiki-Reis und natürlichem Quellvasser aus den Rokko-Bergen.

Decent sushi in Bamberg. Service is fair and it took 2 hours to get our meals. Portions are average. Suggest the Asahi platter if you like sushi/sashimi combo. Miso soup good but overpriced. Minimal wine list and 4 Euro for .1 house sake is way too expensive. They would do well to hire more chefs. read more

Delicious sushi, with a wide variety of options. Lovely atmosphere and tastefully decorated. Service staff are friendly and prompt. We are always happy with our experience! read more

Sushi is very good. I had the salmon mango, it was fresh and slightly tangy. My husband had the sake and he thought it was ok. We ate upstairs. There was not the greatest access to a bathroom from upstairs though. Service was friendly, kind of on the slow side but we were not in a hurry. I would go back again. read more

Looks like they do a good business with locals in Sushi and that is what I should have ordered or the Bento box. In stead I ordered the tempura which was greasy, mushy breaded shrimp and vegetables. Someone in the kitchen has no clue on how to do tempura. The pot stickers were good. Staff speaks perfect English but then their menu is not offered in English which is weird since Bamberg has such a big tourist trade. read more
