Shiro i Shiro is a Japanese-Mediterranean fusion restaurant with French undertones. It is located at Rosa Luxembourgstrasse 11, on the ground floor of the chic Lux 11 apartment hotel in Berlin’s trendy Mitte district. Shiro i Shiro (Japanese  for White Castle) is the second concept of Vietnamese-born owner and  sous-chef Duc Ngo (aka Mr. Duc) whose three Kuchi restaurants are Berlin’s best-known hip sushi bars.

Korean-born Huyn Jung Kim designed Shiro i Shiro’s fantastic  interior - a huge, open-concept white space with prim Neobaroque luxury and  richness of color combined with stark and edgy Asian minimalism. French-trained chef de cuisine Eduard Dimant is in charge of the kitchen offering an exciting array of unexpected culinary combinations. In its German version, the prestigious Gault Millau guide, considered even more purist than Michelin, praises not only Shiro i Shiro’s cuisine and wine but even the prices. No wonder the restaurant is packed every night and Dimant is celebrated as one of the city’s culinary shooting stars. By Tuija Seipell
