Très bonne adresse pour les amateurs de vraie cuisine japonaise. Nous avons testé les sushis et sashimis…: un vrai régal ! Malheureusement, je n’aurai certainement pas l’occasion d’y revenir prochainement. Mais si je le pouvais, je testerais à n’en pas douter le teppan-​yaki. Etant assis au bar, j’ai pu apprécier la dextérité du chef. J’en ai encore l’eau à la bouche. Certains vins sont disponibles au verre. Le service est vraiment agréable avec du personnel souriant et aux petits soins du client. La salle est assez petite mais très jolie. Il y règne une certaine ambiance zen qui né pourra que contribuer à vous faire passer un bon moment

What a nice and quiet refuge from the busy tourist hasstle of the city. A beautiful Japanse décor welcomed us for a booked lunch. We were guided to a nice table with a view on the small garden and pond. We started off with two Japanse cocktails, one of which came in a ceramic figurine. We got the bento box and the teppanyaki beef. Every bit of the lunch menu (some appetizers and a miso soup) came at a leisurely pace. Our main course was very tasty and appealing to the eye. All in all it was a wonderful culinary experience. We’ll be sure to come again!

Beautiful Bruges has a wealth of lovely places to eat at and Japanese is featured high on the culinary list thanks to Tanuki. Pass the door and you’ll be transported to the other side of the world, ready to indulge in the flavors of Japanese teppanyaki. The wooden beams, overall décor and large open kitchen give it that authentic feel, but beyond the welcoming look and feel you will get to appreciate some excellent food. Not to mention, good value for money if you consider how expensive Japanese food can be in Belgium.
We went on a busy Saturday night and were seated at the counter facing the sushi chef. Things seemed to run very smoothly and we ordered sashimi for starters followed by a prawn and a beef teppanyaki. The sashimi was fresh and tasted great. It was very nice to be able to see the chefs at work, slicing and dicing, and the plating up right in front of you. The teppanyaki that followed were equally good, with a preference for my beef order accompanied by tasty mushrooms and a flavorsome jus. Prawns were no showstopper but weren’t in any way bad.
Good food here, and proof you don’t need to be Japanese to master the iron griddle and cook good food. The Belgian head chef does a fine job surrounded by his Japanese team.
