Coast by east, Japanese restaurant in HafenCity, Hamburg, Germany
Coast by East is a Japanese restaurant with a distinctive curved roof structure located at Großer Grasbrook in Hamburg's HafenCity district. The space sits below the Marco Polo Tower and features modern interiors with open kitchen areas where food preparation is visible to diners.
The restaurant opened in 2012, born from an architectural collaboration with the Barcelona-based design collective EMBT. This opening marked an expansion of dining options in the developing HafenCity area.
The restaurant blends Japanese cooking traditions with modern dining, where open counters let you watch chefs prepare fresh rolls and sashimi right before you. This approach turns the meal into something you can see happening throughout your visit.
There is no entrance fee, but making a reservation is advisable, especially on weekends when the place gets busy. The restaurant sits in a modern building with good accessibility and lies near public transit stations.
The wine collection in a floor-to-ceiling cabinet holds more than 150 bottles from around the world, while the bar team offers over 250 different cocktail options. This drink program is as carefully curated as the food menu and shapes the whole dining journey.
