ichi いち
Ichi is a discreet Japanese restaurant tucked just off Torstraße in Berlin-Mitte, hidden in a cellar space that reveals itself only after a bit of searching. Guests remove their shoes before descending into a low-lit room centered around a large, sunken wooden table and the vibe of this restaurant is truly unique and very Japanese. The kitchen is led by chef Shunichi Nagamine, originally from Miyazaki in southern Japan. He serves a set omakase menu that reflects his background, including regional specialties such as Chicken Nanban, the fried chicken dish closely associated with his hometown.
Make sure to order the Chicken Nanban in case it's not on the menu
