Japanese chefs work the counter inside the Divan Hotel, serving kaiseki and omakase that is consistently praised as the best Japanese in Istanbul. The intimate counter format and authentic technique make this feel like a Tokyo transplant, in the best possible way.

Editor's Tip

Counter omakase with Japanese chefs, that's the entire pitch and they deliver. Reserve the 19:00 seating; the 21:00 second seating is where the rice is colder. Trust the chef on the seasonal pieces; the printed menu is for first-timers. Skip the cooked dishes entirely; this is a sushi address.
