When Joji Hattori opened SHIKI in the heart of Vienna eleven years ago, the vision was clear: to create a place that combines the finesse of Japanese haute cuisine with European hospitality. What began as an ambitious restaurant has evolved into a multifaceted culinary world—driven by precision, craftsmanship, and a deeply rooted cultural awareness.
Today, SHIKI unfolds across three distinct, carefully crafted concepts: SHIKI Japanese Cuisine, SHIKI Omakase, and the SHIKI Boutique | Sakethek. Each represents a different expression of Japanese food and culinary culture—from the minimalist purity of the plate and the intimate Omakase tradition to refined craftsmanship and a curated sake culture.
Together, they form a self-contained world of Japanese culinary enjoyment that goes far beyond the traditional restaurant experience, allowing SHIKI to be experienced as a holistic concept.
