Sankai by Nagaya Istanbul

Sankai by Nagaya sits on Cevdet Paşa Cd. in the Bebek district. It holds a Michelin star.

The restaurant offers Japanese and Asian cuisine in a room that runs smart and elegant. While the city’s historic core relies on the proximity of Sultanahmet Square or the Grand Bazaar to attract visitors, this venue shifts the focus entirely to its own floor. It is a twenty-minute walk from the major mosques, yet it succeeds by ignoring the tourist traffic that defines the rest of the area. You choose this table for the precision of the sushi rather than the proximity to the city’s landmarks.
