Sushi.Fire.Bar.
Japanese food in a temple in the middle of the city: Ōkyū means royal palace. Quick at lunch, long at night, on Rotebühlplatz in the Calwer Passage.
A temple in the city
The room follows setchū-yō, the eclectic style of Japanese temple architecture: classic elements reworked for an evening that is allowed to get loud. Vermilion lattices, light from the ceiling, long tables.
On the table: traditional sushi variations with European touches, plus grill, wok and a bar with yuzu, sake and Japanese gin.
古池や蛙飛びこむ水の音The old pond – a frog jumps in, the sound of the water.
Matsuo Bashō, 1686
