Kai Sushi, Japanese restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland
Kai Sushi is a Japanese restaurant in Zurich that prepares fresh nigiri, maki, and sashimi using traditional techniques and quality ingredients. Operating across five locations throughout the city, it focuses on careful preparation and ingredient sourcing.
The restaurant was founded by Amit Shama-Levaillant, who moved from Israel to Zurich in 1998 and later expanded the concept to five locations across the city. This growth reflects increasing interest in Japanese cuisine among Zurich diners over two decades.
The restaurant introduces Swiss diners to Japanese culinary traditions through Omakase dining, where chefs select and prepare dishes based on what is fresh and in season.
The restaurant has multiple locations across Zurich, so checking the website or calling ahead helps you find the nearest branch. Making a reservation is recommended, especially for dinner service and weekends, to avoid waiting.
During summer months, guests can experience Japanese cuisine aboard the Kai Sushi boat, where owner Amit personally serves dishes on Lake Zurich. This experience combines dining and nature in a way that goes beyond a typical restaurant setting.
