Hamasei is one of the best known sushi restaurants in Rome as it was one of the first to open in the Eternal City. This fru-fru restaurant opened up in 1974 in Rome and has a long standing clientele of italiani per bene (affluent Italians) thanks to its prime position just near the Spanish Steps. The restaurant is typical of most sushi restaurants back in the States where one can eat near the sushi chef and watch him as he prepares your roll fresh. Its decor is sleek and modern. For a characteristic Japanese tearoom type of atmosphere, one can reserve their private room with such decor at an additional cost. Sushi, Sashimi, Tamaki and Tempura are all delicious here. So good, that it earned its way into the Michelin Dining Guide. Though beware, portions here can be decidedly smaller here. METRO: Spagna, Barberini. BUS: 53, 52, 492, 80.
