Murasaki | A cheap Japanese restaurant with a hidden and full

🍣 Hidden Japanese Gem in Helka Hotel: Fresh Sashimi & Cozy Vibes in Helsinki Tucked inside Helka Hotel, this sushi spot had been on my bucket list for ages—finally scored a reservation in late 2023! Heads up: Reservations require a credit card, and no-shows get charged €10. Worth the prep, trust me. 📍 Location & Vibe Address: Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu 23, 00100 Helsinki Inside Helka Hotel; follow signs from the lobby. Open kitchen lets you watch chefs work their magic—so satisfying. 💰 Price & Set Menu Deets Weekends = weekdays pricing : 1 main + 2 sides or 5 sides + rice + miso soup. €15-25 sets, rice refills free. Perfect for solo diners or low-key dates. 🌟 Must-Order Dishes Sashimi Platter (€25) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Freshness overload! All fish melts in your mouth. If you’re a salmon fiend, get the 9-piece thick-cut salmon sashimi (€18)—so worth it. Teriyaki Chicken Wings (friend’s order) Generous portion, sticky-sweet glaze, fall-off-the-bone tender. Perfect for comfort food cravings. 🥢 Side Dishes: Small Bites, Big Flavors Potato Salad: Creamy mix of potatoes, cucumber, carrots—classic comfort. Grilled Eggplant & Green Peppers: Smoky, slightly sweet—my personal fave. Sweet Omelette: Fluffy, subtly sweet—great with rice. Sesame Tofu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Nutty, creamy, but rich—might be too much for some (friend wasn’t a fan). 🍨 Desserts: Sweet Endings Coffee Jelly (€4): Bitter coffee jelly + sweet cream—I needed 4x milk to cut the bitterness (my bad, not the dessert’s!). Matcha Pudding (€5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Smooth, earthy matcha flavor—zero bitterness, perfect finish. 💡 Pro Tips for First-Timers Reserve Ahead: Book via their site, don’t risk the €10 fee. Watch the Kitchen: Open kitchen adds to the experience—fun to see sushi being rolled. Rice Lovers: Free refills, so load up! 📝 Final Verdict: Worth the Hype (and Reservation Hassle) Freshness, cozy vibes, and reasonable prices (for Helsinki!) make this a must-try. Just remember to show up on time—and order the matcha pudding. #HelsinkiSushi #JapaneseCuisine #HiddenGem #HelkaHotelEats
