Yoshi

I am not always a fan of eating in a restaurant that is part of a department store. In my mind, I still have these images of being dragged, unwillingly, by my mother as she did her shopping. I grew to love shopping and in many ways I am indebted to my mother for her firm grip on my arm and her strong manner. It has made me the shopper I am today: determined and focused. But, back to the issue at hand...food. We were doing our walk through Alsterhaus and decided to give Yoshi a try, situated on the top floor. I was surprised not to see too many tourists as the view is rather spectacular...okay, there was a table of Scandinavians next to us but, they were harmless. No selfies in sight! 
We ordered sushi of course and it was a big hit. Jürgen had the Bento box and I had a selection of probably the freshest fish I have had in a long time. Paired with a glass of white wine, it certainly lightened the mood on this typically grey day in the city. While Yoshi may not be the cheapest place to try for good Japanese food, it certainly delivers on all fronts: not overcrowded, tastefully decorated and not a sushi belt in sight!
