Sakeya
If you find yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Milan, I highly recommend making a stop at Sakeya. Nestled at Via Cesare da Sesto, 1, this charming Japanese restaurant is a haven for lovers of authentic flavors and exquisite sake.
Sakeya is not just a dining establishment; it’s a culinary experience. With a menu that seamlessly blends traditional Japanese cuisine with innovative twists, the restaurant offers dishes that cater to a range of palates. From succulent A5 wagyu yakiniku to flavorful kushiyaki skewers, each plate is crafted to perfection, showcasing the high standards and dedication to quality that Sakeya is known for.
But what truly sets Sakeya apart is its remarkable selection of sake. Patrons can order by the glass or full bottle, allowing for an exploration of various sakes—an experience that many find to be both educational and delightful. Paolo, the sake sommelier, is a standout feature of the restaurant. His in-depth knowledge of sake and Japanese whisky brings a special touch to your visit, making every sip an informed choice.
The ambiance of the restaurant complements the culinary journey perfectly. Each meal feels like a cozy gathering, enhanced by the attentive and knowledgeable staff who are eager to share their expertise. With glowing reviews highlighting the outstanding service and inviting atmosphere, it's no wonder Sakeya has swiftly garnered a reputation as one of Milan’s top Japanese dining spots.
Whether you're indulging in a delicate sashimi platter or savoring a creative uramaki sushi, every dish at Sakeya reflects a commitment to authenticity. With careful attention to detail and a passion for Japanese flavors, you may just feel as though you've been transported back to Japan itself.
All in all, Sakeya is a promising destination for those seeking a harmonious balance of traditional and modern Japanese cuisine, complemented by an impressive sake experience. It’s a place you’ll want to return to—time and again.

“ Such an amazing experience in Sakeya! Once you’ve been in Japan, it’s very hard to find such tasty and fresh fish anywhere else, except there. But we’ve found a “small Japan” in Milan Atmosphere, staff, food - excellent! And you’ve made me love sake much more :) ”
“ My new favourite Japanese restaurant in Milan! Modern Japanese food and great selection of sake, special mention for sake sommelier Paolo who has deep knowledge of sake and Japanese whisky ”
“ Amazing place. The atmosphere is great surrounded by hundreds of Sake bottles. The service is impeccable and the food is another level, with flavours colours and smells that it’s hard to find somewhere else. I suggest the tasting menu with wagyu, it’s a whole experience you’ll never forget. ”
“ I am in Japan 5-6 times a year, so I know what good Japanese food tastes like. Sakeya is a fantastic place with great service. We tried salmon with mikanzu, kushiyaki (skewers), wagyu (Japanese beef), yaki tako (octopus), uramaki sushi - and the fantastic mango x3 dessert and the 3 types of wagashi (Japanese sweets). Some dishes were typical Japanese - others were creative compositions combining Japanese and Western cuisine. The service was top class and highly knowledgeable - advising on the menu and the large selection of sake. ”
“ The best Japanese restaurant in Milan, with hundreds of selections of sake and delicious authentic food. We’re overwhelmed by their excellent hospitality especially the sommelier Paulo who has a profound knowledge of sake. All the dishes are prepared to perfection, and the quality of sashimi is just amazing, really felt like being in Japan. Definitely recommended and will be back soon! ”
