Visitor's guide
Dining in Bergen, from a kitchen that lives here
Bergen's first Japanese restaurant, in the old town behind Bryggen. Here is everything a visitor needs: distances, hours, what to order and how to get a table.
Getting here
Lodin Lepps gate 2B, 5003 Bergen. Behind Bryggen, a short walk from the Fish Market, Fløibanen and the Bybanen light rail.
From the cruise berths
10–20 minutes on foot along the harbour from Skolten or Jekteviken, or a short taxi ride.
Language
Our team speaks English and Norwegian, and all menus carry English descriptions and allergen codes.
Between sightseeing
Lunch runs served daily 11:00 – 16:00 — a calm stop between the funicular, the wharf and a fjord tour.
What to order
Norwegian seafood, Japanese hands
Start with oysters and sashimi of Norwegian salmon, move through nigiri from the counter, then let the robata grill take over. If you would rather not choose, the omakase gives you the day's best cuts in sequence.
For a quick stop between sights, the lunch menu runs all afternoon, and takeaway is ready for collection on your way back to the hotel or ship.
