Japanese restaurants in Moscow

  1. A

    Yakitoria in Chekhovskaya

    In recent years, this chain of sushi restaurants has expanded rapidly throughout the capital (and beyond), drawing rave reviews for efficient service and excellent, fresh fish. This branch features an actual sushi bar, which is ideal for solo diners, who can entertain themselves watching the chefs prepare their meal. Otherwise, the woody dining room is slick and modern, with a more upscale atmosphere than the other branches.

  2. B

    Yakitoria in Belorusskaya

    The first of ten branches around Moscow serving sushi and other Japanese fare. Big windows look out onto busy Tverskaya-Yamskaya ulitsa; the focal point of the interior is the fresh fish, as it is sliced and diced by sushi chefs in the open kitchen. If raw fish is not for you, try the namesake dish, yakitori, which is shashlyk from chicken breast, liver and heart.

    Sushi Vyosla

    Sushi is all the rage in Moscow these days. To get in on it, head to this hip Japanese café in the basement of the Nautilus shopping centre (enter from Teatralnaya proezd). Dishes are colour coded to specify price; at the end of the meal the server clears the empty plates and uses them to calculate the bill.
