Best Sushi Restaurants in Istanbul 2023

I am a literature student who loves to travel. I’m here to share my insights on the stories of places.

In recent years Japanese cuisine, especially sushi, has become a globally popular food. While traditional sushi is centuries old, there are increasingly new ways that sushi is being made with fresh and unique ingredients in this day and age, providing new perspectives on a centuries-old dish. While travelling, it is difficult to find a fine restaurant that serves proper sushi, given it is a unique dish to prepare. In Istanbul, with its top-quality restaurants, there are many brilliant sushi eating options to choose from. Read this blog for a list of excellent and unique sushi places in Istanbul to guide you on your trip.
