About
Tucked away on the Balistraat in The Hague, Morikawa is a rare find: a Japanese sushi restaurant driven by a genuine commitment to representing traditional Japanese culinary culture at its most faithful. Chef Yasunari Morikawa's dedication and expertise earned the restaurant the title of Asian Restaurant of the Year 2024 from Gault&Millau, which also awarded it an impressive 14.5 out of 20. On Google, diners back up that verdict with a 4.5 rating.
Among the things that set Morikawa apart is the chef's mastery of battera — a lesser-known Osaka sushi style in which rice is pressed and shaped in a mould. Sushi and sashimi are available both à la carte and as part of a set menu, with a carefully curated sake selection, several of which are available by the glass, rounding out the experience.
Open Tuesday through Saturday evenings only, Morikawa is the kind of intimate address where a reservation is not just recommended — it's essential.
Book your table early — evenings at Morikawa fill up fast.
