Ula opened just a few weeks ago in Mitte – a long overdue upgrade for fine Japanese dining in Berlin. Finally we have a place in the city where you can experience a selection of modern Japanese cuisine that is much more than the ordinary sushi rolls. Setting foot into Ula, it made me feel as if I were in an upscale restaurant in Soho. The menu, created by a Japanese chef who has mastered his culinary artistry at the world-famous Kitcho restaurant in Kyoto, consists of traditional dishes such as “sukiyaki” using wagyu beef that melts in your mouth to “tatsuta-age”, deep fried marinaded chicken, with a twist. You may also enjoy the delightful assortment of sake, shochu and Japanese inspired cocktails like the wasabi Bloody Mary. Even if you think there is no more room in your tummy, you must try the absolutely sublime flowerless fondant au chocolat as a grand finale to your dinner!
