Ristorante Giapponese Rokko

Cuisine: Asian, Japanese, Sushi

10Best Says

Ristorante Giapponese Rokko is one of the few sushi restaurants around Rome actually run by Japanese owners. In 1991, Hiroko Sasaki and her husband Toru, opened the Japanese restaurant Rokko in the heart of the centro storico. Since its opening, the restaurant has changed locations a few times thanks to its increasing popularity which enabled it to move to a larger location with more ample space. Its kitchen is run by the famed Japanese chef Takehisa Haraguchi who mastered his sushi skills from the prestigious culinary school Tsujigakuen in the city of Osaka. The sushi, sashimi, tempura and the gyokaino salad are all good here. METRO: Popolo, Spagna
