Strassfeld

👍👍 The best sushi I've eaten in years. We now live in the mountains of the Allgäu. But when we visit family in Cologne, Strassfeld is a MUST. Thank you Michael for this consistent sushi quality...even after 10 years. Even the dessert is an insider tip.🙏

Takumi 3 - Tonkotsu Ramen Restaurant
