A
Gin No Taki
In a city awash with wannabe Japanese restaurants, this large and lively operation is one of the most authentic, with a wide range of sushi, sashimi, kebabs, tempura and bento box lunches. Unnervingly, the entire staff greets you very loudly in Japanese as you walk in the door. That exuberance aside, Gin No Taki makes for an excellent Japanese dining experience. Should you be inspired by the cooking, there is a Japanese grocery store next door.

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.

Yakitoriya
With its efficient service and excellent fresh fish, it’s easy to see why this chain has been so successful in St Petersburg and – indeed – across the country. This location off Nevsky pr is the most central of many locations. It features an actual sushi bar, which is ideal for solo diners. The woody interior is slick and modern, with a slightly upscale atmosphere.

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.

Paratov
This floating restaurant behind the Sea & River Terminal serves delicious sushi and other Japanese food in a spick-and-span stainless steel environment. A pictorial menu saves you having to grapple with Japanese in Cyrillic.

Sushi is the rage all over Russia, and Yekaterinburg is no exception. Nice lunch specials and a convenient location make this place particularly popular. There is another outlet in Bolshoy Ural Hotel.
