About us

A Hamburg institution for hand-crafted sushi, creative chef's creations and warm, personal service.

Our story

A Hamburg story

Since July 2011, echtasien has stood for fresh fish, honest Japanese-Asian cooking and the creative signature of our chefs. What began as a small neighbourhood spot in Winterhude is now a Hamburg fixture.

With our second house in Blankenese, above the Elbe and near the Treppenviertel, we brought our idea to one of the most beautiful spots in the city — with a sunny terrace for balmy evenings.

What has stayed the same over the years: the joy of hand-crafted sushi, of creative creations, and of guests who become regulars.

Our values

What we stand for

  • Freshness

    Fresh fish daily and select ingredients — the foundation of everything.

  • Craft

    Every piece of sushi is shaped by hand, with care and experience.

  • Quality

    The best products, honestly prepared — no compromises.

  • Hospitality

    Warm, personal service that makes you feel welcome.

The chef & the team

Creativity you can taste

Our kitchen team combines classic Japanese craft with the courage to try something new. From this balance our chef's creations are born — from the Lady Crazy Roll to baked duck on a sizzling hot plate.

We cook the way we like to eat ourselves — fresh, honest and with attention to detail.
