Great spot in the park for oh so fresh Sushi and Japanese food with a great imported beer…read moreselection. Beautiful outside patio to enjoy the Cortona views. Wifey and I stopped by for an afternoon lunch and beer while on our house hunting trip to Tuscany. We were greeted by the owner Marco who was very nice and accommodating. He helped us with sushi selection and recommended a very tasty beer to accompany lunch. Both were amazing - sushi was melt in your mouth and we very much enjoyed the conversation with Marco about the restaurant, which opened July, 2016. We will be back with our brown Labrador Sunshine in tow - with a move in date of July I think we found a new favorite afternoon and evening dining spot !!

If you're in the mood for a change from the usual Umbrian fare then Tokyo will fit the bill nicely…read more It's to be found down an unassuming alley behind the Universita dei Stranieri building, but once you're inside it's sophisticated black decor and happy smiles from the (admittedly Chinese) staff. We paid €28/head for a full meal with sushi, main courses desserts and beer, but you could spend less - lunchtime set meals are €12-€15, which has to be good value, given the preparation that goes into this type of food. All perfectly fresh and delicious, but the highlights for me were the seaweed salad and the shrimp tempura.

When I missed asian food a lot I found this place in Arezzo. I was originally planning to go for a…read morechinese restaurant but I couldn't find one. Then I turned to this place. All-you-can-eat menu is perfect for me. I remembered I ordered two dishes of fried prawns, two soup, and lots of sushi. The service is quite good though wait for a while. But overall I was quite satisfied after dining there.

The restaurant owner seems to accept customers based on racial preference. Our family waited 60…read moreminutes near the area because we were excited for sushi after a week in Italy. As we walked in the owner stated they did not have "space." We were the only customers there at 7. It appears he did not want to serve guests based on racial appearance, or possibly guests with children. When confronted about why he wouldn't seat us, in Japanese, he became uncomfortable and gave us a business card. No business should treat customers this way in 2024.

I've been here several times and each one deserves a 5* for its amazing taste and simplicity…read more Self service, you order and you wait for your sushi to be express made. The Miso soup is homemade, so it's completely something else compared to the other restaurants. The chef, a true Japanese in love with Florence, is in the open kitchen, showing his art to everyone, making delicious specialties like the frittata and marinated anchovies. Prices are really fair, wine is included in the 15 € menu, together with the soup and a plate of nigiri (sometimes if you get lucky it's mozzarella di bufala's nigiri day, try and see for yourself). If you can, BOOK a table, it's quite always full and the place is as big as a mouse's nest.

I am on a three week trip in Europe and started to feel a little under the weather when I passed a…read moreRamen spot in Florence and knew it must be fate. I've had plenty of delicious pasta and pizza since I've been here, but as far as I know, those foods do not have the same magical healing properties as a big ole bowl of broth, so I chose that for dinner tonight. The food here was very good, surprisingly authentic, and really reasonably priced. Plus they called the Gyoza "Japanese Ravioli" which I think is adorable. The space is a little cramped but that's normal for Europe, they had two rooms so they could probably accommodate a bigger group if you gave them enough notice. Great Ramen and you can't beat the price- check it out if you're in Florence!

SO! GOOD!!! The gyoza was to die for, and the ramen was so tasty. If you're looking to get away…read morefrom all the Italian food for a bit and try something different, go here!
