After many days of waiting and searching, finally a new place for people who appreciate professional and honest culinary visions has opened in Prenzlauer Berg. The Japanese chef, Tsuki Hasegawa, offers beautiful and tasty Japanese morsels such as bento boxes (regular or veggie), salads with exquisite and inventive dressings, and classic rice balls wrapped with nori-seaweed. Sven Schumacher, the pâtissier, presents superb sweets such as rice cakes, tartlets, chocolate with bean paste, matcha and many more. Everything is created with great love for detail and offered for a truly fair deal! Additionally there are Japanese teas plus a lovely smile with anecdotes about the food and its origin. On a side note, if you feel like asking Tsuki about how the current situation in Japan is affecting her business, she will gladly answer you regarding controls and shortages as well as on their commitment to recreate Japanese recipes using local ingredients – which are nothing short of excellent!
