“Art for me is like oxygen”, the iconic avant garde artist Yoko Ono once said, and something makes us believe that the same is may be true for the eponymous sushi spot of Pagrati and its creators, since everything that comes out from its open kitchen is a delicious work of art, characterised by the universal dimension of a proper exit, which is good value for money.
Yoko Sushi, starting its maiden voyage in 2014 in Kolonaki, taught minimalism in the environment and pluralism in enjoyment, paying tribute to the Asian tradition with a self service, street philosophy. Fast forward a few years later, and having expanded to new spots such as Cyprus, Porto Heli and Skiathos, Pagrati welcomed it in a more restaurant environment, with urban elegance, high ceilings, art deco elements and a general New York aura.
A visit here is unforgettable: The arrays of thin blond metal structures with the vaulted glass, the two impressive bars clad in marble, the designed stools offer a wonderful visual freshness. Then there are his sushi masters, who suggest fusion innovations, such as signature rolls that level up ideas, textures and flavors, futomaki that are bigger rolls, refreshing salads with unique combinations of ingredients, starters that are riveting.
In it’s specialties we would definitely underline Dynamite Rolls, with cucumber, carrot, tempura flakes, shrimp with teriyaki sauce, spicy mayo, chives, crab and sesame while equally explosive are the Yoko Rolls, with boiled shrimp, burnt tuna, spicy mayo , chives and chili sauce. Do not forget to try the refreshing Yoko Salad, with bean noodles, crab, spicy mayo and wakame seaweed.
It is no coincidence that Yoko Sushi has been awarded the prestigious Hermes Award for its branding but also the Golden Eagles in the field of gastronomy, earning the 1st place in the choice of the public – a proof that every element here is meticulous and cared for with love and care in visitor.
All of the above, you can enjoy uniquely with a list of classic cocktails with their own recipes – mixed to perfection, which you can enjoy at home or in the office via delivery (after all bento in Japanese is the wooden lunch box!)
