Tachi Machi — Restaurant in Vilnius

This is the epitome of a perfect Japanese restaurant! If you're missing the Kamakura vibe in Kaunas, look no further – this place captures it perfectly. Occasionally, a Japanese chef graces the restaurant, whipping up super delicious ramen that is an absolute must-try.

Overall 5 stars for sure, with only minor gripes about the price point (feels just a bit high) and perhaps not a sufficient proportion of meat in the okonomiyaki itself. Again, these are just minor gripes and I would happily eat at Tachi Machi for a happy belly, especially on a...
