Respektabilne tradicije i zavidne reputacije, „Ikki sushi bar" sinonim je za japansku kuhinju kod nas. Smešten u srcu Dorćola, u ambijentu koji dočarava Daleki istok na moderan i diskretan način, restoran vas suvereno vodi kroz osobene ukuse kuhinje koja možda ponajviše od svih nacionalnih izaziva podeljene reakcije.
Raskošan meni donosi poznate termine japanske gastronomije, bazirane na kombinacijama sa ribom, biftekom i piletinom.
Probavši obe supe u ponudi, preporučujemo odličnu miso sa povrćem, koja u tamnim dubinama krije šargarepu seckanu na rezance, dok nam je verzija sa tofuom i algama ipak bila prejakog ukusa.
Set mali suši odličan je i kao predjelo i kao način za upoznavanje sa ovom kuhinjom. Na drvenom pladnju dobićete čak 14 formi pirinča (šest makija i osam nigirija), sa čak osam vrsta ribe, od kojih smo uživali u lososu i tuni, a teže se izborili sa filetima lista i grgeča koji su prilično žilavi u sirovom obliku. Marinirani listovi đumbira i kuglica vasabija servirani pored, čine svaki zalogaj dodatno neobičnim i egzotičnim, koliko i osvežavajuća salata od vakame algi sa šargarepom i soja sosom.
Među predjelima skrećemo pažnju i na karakteristične japanske tempure (panirano povrće) i salate, dok su u glavnom meniju zastupljena tri osnovna pravca: terijaki, kacu i jela spremljena u voku, uz šio-jaki varijantu (grilovana riba sa japanskim začinima). Pileće meso pripremljeno u terijaki sosu bilo je sočno, posuto susamom, jednostavno posluženo uz beli pirinač.
Izvan glavnih tokova, probali smo tunu alla ikki i dobili flambirane filete tune pod prelivom koji nas je svojom aromom origana pre asocirao na pastu carbonara, a za koji smo od stručnog osoblja saznali da, zapravo, potiče od mešavine japanskih začina.
Pored Sacher torte, kolača od maskarponea i sladoleda od zelenog čaja, prednost smo dali odličnim pohovanim bananama, prelivenim medom i posutim cimetom. Cene su nešto više, naročito za glavna jela od ribe, ali ih visoki standardi i reprezentativna ponuda opravdavaju.
Obrok za dvoje košta 4.000 dinara.

With a respectable tradition and enviable reputation, "Ikki sushi bar” is the synonym for Japanese cuisine in Serbia. Located in Dorćol, with an ambiance which evokes the spirit of the Far East in a modern and discreet manner, this restaurant is the veritable leader of this distinctive cuisine which people either like or dislike.
The menu offers all the well-known specialties of Japanese cuisine based on fish, beefsteak and chicken. Having tried both soups on offer, we primarily recommend the excellent miso soup with vegetables, while the version with tofu and algae is a bit on the heavy side.
The small sushi set is a great choice for both an entrée and introduction to this cuisine. You will be served with a wooden plate containing no less than 14 rice forms (six maki and eight nigiri) with eight types of fish – we truly enjoyed the salmon and tuna, but had a harder time with the perch and sole fillets which are pretty tough in their raw version.
In addition, we were served marinated strips of ginger and a wasabi ball, both of which make every bite an unusual and exotic experience.
The same goes for the wakame seaweed with carrots and soy sauce. As an entrée, we also suggested trying the characteristic tempura (breaded vegetables) and the salads, while the main menu includes food prepared according to three types: teriyaki, kacu and in the wok, with the shio-yaki version (grilled fish with Japanese seasoning).
The chicken in teriyaki sauce was tender, sprinkled with sesame seeds and simply served over white rice. Out of the ordinary, we also tried the alla iki tuna – flambé tuna fillets topped with an oregano-like sauce which reminded us of pasta carbonara – although we were informed that the mixture of seasonings is uniquely Japanese.
For dessert, you can choose one of the following – sacher cake, mascarpone cake or green tea ice-cream, but we just couldn’t say no to the breaded bananas topped with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Prices are high (especially for the main fish specialties) but justifiable, judging by the high standards and representative offer.
Meal for two: 4.000 dinars.
