The Best Sushi in Milan

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood a spare, minimal dining room at the base of a Porta Nuova tower, where a Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurant works through the full arc of Japanese cuisine, raw to cooked. The chef's menu moves from sashimi and nigiri into traditional preparations, including Iberian pork with negimiso sauce served on a magnolia leaf. A separate omakase counter runs its own show by reservation, worth booking before you arrive.

A sushi restaurant in Porta Romana where the case for Japanese traditionalism is made quietly, through precise knife work and clean preparations that don't need architectural plating to make their point. An omakase counter lets you watch the chef work up close. The sake selection is taken seriously alongside the wine list, and tempura with wasabi salt has a way of settling any doubts about the kitchen's priorities.

The sushi counter runs omakase only, eight to eleven courses, no à la carte wandering allowed. This is a contemporary Japanese restaurant where the chef moves between raw fish and Angus beef with equal confidence, folding miso, truffle, and yuzu into the through-line. The room reads like a serious night out in Milan, dressed up but not stiff. A Michelin Guide selection, and ranked among Italy's top sushi spots by 50 Top Italy.

Fourteen seats arranged in a horseshoe around two chefs is the whole architecture of this intimate omakase counter, where every piece of fish is shaped in front of you and the conversation with the chefs is considered part of the meal. Eating with your hands is encouraged, sake by the glass pairs naturally with the progression, and the lunch menu runs shorter if the full ritual feels like a commitment.
