Kame - Japanese Bites

KAME serves you

Japanese Bites

Originally opened in 2016 as a Japanese bakery and café, KAME has grown into an insider spot for Japanese dishes. In two locations in Charlottenburg and Mitte we are serving you a variety of savory and sweet bites, beyond the usual ramen und sushi. As a speciality our chef prepares Bento Box and Oshi Sushi at our location in Leibnizstrasse.


Run by the Japanese diaspora in Berlin, we bring authentic Japan to your taste buds.

Bento Box

Our Bento Box combines Japanese and regional ingredients in the style of ichiju-sansai to create a bento with a deep umami flavour as a vegan, fish or meat variation.


Ichiju-sansai 一汁三菜 is the principle of a balanced composition of healthy ingredients and dishes and an integral part of Japanese food culture.

Oshi Sushi

Oshi sushi has its origins in Kyoto. Originally, these were prepared with preserved, pressed fish, as Kyoto is a long way from the coast. KAME has created new roast beef or vegan interpretations of this traditional dish. The rice and filling are pressed into a mold, which imparts a wonderful texture, before being elaborately topped.

Catering

We offer our Bento Box and Oshi Sushi and other Japanese bites in house, take away or for catering at your events and celebrations. We are happy to talk to you and find a suitable selection of dishes together. Our chef is able to prepare catering for up to 100 people upon request.
