SHIORI

Shiori was founded in June 2016 by chef Shiori Arai and his partner Flora Choi with aim of creating a unique space for authentic Japanese eating experience in Berlin Mitte.
Every night at 19:30 sharp, 10 diners are seated around a bar and then served Omakase that's highly seasonal and focuses on regional produce wherever it makes sense.
The result is an intimate and refreshing dining experience that notoriously creating bonds between diners and host which is from philosophy of Japanese tea ceremony.
