The story
NIKKEI NINE in Hamburg runs a Japanese-Peruvian kitchen at Neuer Jungfernstieg 9, on the Binnenalster inside the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. Der Feinschmecker awarded it 3 in 2026, and the Schlemmer Atlas gave it 3 Kochlöffel the same year.
The omakase menu costs €115, and a Wagyu upgrade adds €55. Guests who want guidance can choose sharing dishes curated for them or a five-course surprise menu. Ceviche can be served on request in a milder ponzu without chili, followed by spicy Japanese gyoza. The sushi plate stays deliberately plain, while the teriyaki duck breast from the robata grill brings the dramatic main course. A chef's table overlooks the open kitchen.
The bar is a central part of the restaurant, with a cocktail list that includes the Pisco-Yuzu Spritz and an extensive sake selection. International wines round out the list. Golden lighting, dark wood and mirrors recall the Gatsby era, and up to 90 seats fill the room. A DJ plays Thursday through Saturday, and the service team checks on tables often without hurrying the evening. The dress code is smart casual.
