Modern Japanese dining in the heart of Hanover.
Freshly rolled sushi, steaming ramen and signature cocktails. Served in warm light, right opposite the Christuskirche.
Hikari means light, and that is exactly how it tastes.
Japanese craftsmanship meets modern cooking here: sushi from the master, ramen with real depth, cocktails with character. Inside you will find warm wood, soft light and an open kitchen. Outside, one of the most beautiful terrace views in Hanover awaits.
A quiet evening for two, a big table of friends or a spontaneous sushi craving: you do not need an occasion here, just an appetite. Come in, sit down, arrive.
Two menus, one promise.
Everything fresh, everything with care: hand-rolled sushi and modern Japanese cooking on one side, signature cocktails, sake and Japanese highballs on the other.

Try it once, rave about it for weeks.
Great food and great service. Outstanding quality and freshness that you simply will not find at other buffets. We keep coming back.
The drinks are beautifully made and taste really good. The ramen is the best I have ever had, absolutely recommended.
The all-you-can-eat selection is really good and very tasty. The sushi rolls are not made any smaller either. Perfect.
A great new restaurant. The dishes arrived quickly and everything was delicious, from the sushi to the ramen soup.
The ambience is beautiful and inviting. The service is fast, friendly and very good.

Wagyu steak
The secret is in the marbling: wagyu fat melts below body temperature, which is why every bite dissolves like butter on your tongue. Briefly seared, pink centre, a pinch of salt flakes. Small bites you will not want to share. Exclusively in the all-you-can-eat.
Fair enjoyment: so we can keep offering this at consistently high quality, we charge €5 per 200 g for dishes that are ordered but left largely untouched. Soups, sauces and dishes you cannot finish for taste or health reasons are of course exempt. Thank you for being fair.
