Regular readers of this blog (or in fact just normal people who know me!) know I have this Japan fetish thing. Been there a lot, like the country and the people, practice old style Japanese martial arts etc etc. One of the best things about visiting Japan is how fantastic the food is – it’s actually hard to find bad food in Tokyo. Getting decent Japanese food in Dublin is next to impossible, however. The few places that do it, just don’t do it well. It’s usually only average in quality and seriously overpriced.
The vegetarian combo set, costing just €9!
Anyway, I recently heard about a new Japanese restaurant and based on some recommendations, checked it out last week. Called Michie (pronounced me-chee-hey), it’s locate up a lane in Ranelagh in a tiny converted industrial unit. The owner, Michelle, told me his business is mostly based on deliveries and corporate catering bookings, but he recently put five or six tables out and opened it to the public – quite simply his food is really good. Easily the best Japanese-style sushi, norimaki, katsu currys and miso soup I’ve tasted anywhere other than Tokyo and much cheaper than the competition. If you haven’t been, check it out.

Great post. Big fan of Japanese food
A group of us went again last night and it was just as awesome. I may just get my salary paid into this guys account – cut out the middle man!
