Sushi Anaba — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Taste of Tokyo at SUSHI ANABA 👍 I heard about Sushi Anaba from my friend and my colleague, but I haven’t had a chance back then, because it’s pricy, and it’s difficult to get a seat. The restaurant opens 4 days per week, 2 rounds per day, and 8 seats per round.

We arrived in front of Sushi Anabe around 4 pm, but we didn’t get in immediately, because we could not find a parking lot. We were told that the parking lot located at the red building near the restaurant. We got in slightly later than 4 pm, and it’s not too long before the sushi chef started to serve the first dish.

They have 2 options for beverages which are alcohol, and non-alcohol. We went for the non-alcohol option, which was a variety of teas and fermented juices. The others went for the alcohol option, so they had many kinds of Sake. Good for them!

We were fed continuously from 4 pm to 6:30 pm. Mads and his crews served us with different kinds of sushi, salads, soup, and ended the meal with a sweet omelet. The ingredients are extremely fresh and of high quality. We also heard about Mads’ stories of being a Sushi chef and his life in Japan. I personally took a lot of pictures and videos while we were dining. When Mads made sushi, it’s like we were watching a show. I simply cannot stop starring at it.

Besides the high-quality food, what I like about Sushi Anaba is the minimalism and detail-oriented. The interior design is Japanese in the heart but mixed with Scandinavian style. Mads and his crews all dress in traditional sushi coats. Most of their dinnerware and kitchen equipment made in Japan. They have a traditional Japanese style room, a tatami room, behind the sushi bar if you want to relax. They even have a Japanese smart toilet–the most astonishing choice of their decoration. I used it twice and I approve of it! Another component of their interior design is their restaurant playlist, which matches very well with the food, the light, and their style. It really shows their carefully thought and attentiveness.

We all left the restaurant before 7 pm. We saw that there were a few customers for the next round were waiting outside the restaurant. We came back home with full stomach like we went to Noma–it’s such an...

Overall nice experience at the counter, mesmerized, as always, by the cutting of fish.. whether herring or tuna, this discipline deserves an uncommented youtube channel.. Food was great and ambience was beautiful, almost serene. We (4 people) all agreed missed some variety to the nigiri on rice with brown vinegar base. A white wine served between sakes seemed to be squeezed in for the sake (!) of it but felt way too sour among the fatty fish and mellow sakes. We also missed some engagement from the itamae who didnt really take charge of the experience and we needed to ask about servings. All in all, good but some room for...

Sushi Anabe is by far the best sushi place I have visited outside Japan. The setting is extremely authentic even from the second you approach the restaurant in this modern neighborhood where the restaurant seems to be situated in a normal shop. Just like the places you would experience in Tokyo. The restaurant only hosts 8 visitors at a time and it is bar seating only. Every seating is 2 hours where everyone is served the same fixed menu omakase. The food is at a very high level and you feel extremely comfortable as the chef guides you through the meal. Make sure to choose the optional sake menu as well and enjoy...
