Alpine-Japanese Izakaya · Kreis 4, Zürich

Where the Alps meet Japan.

A small izakaya for sharing — Sanuki udon, sake by the carafe, and a Raclette Inari you've never tasted anywhere else.

01 — The Idea

An idea you'll
only find here.

In Japan, an izakaya is a place to stay. To share plates. Share rounds. Share stories. We took that idea and let it meet the kitchen we cook in — here, in Switzerland.

Raclette finds its way into inari. Sanuki udon shares the counter with sake from Niigata. It isn't fusion for the sake of it — it's a small kitchen, run by one chef, doing the kind of cooking that feels honest.

No white tablecloths. No tasting menu theatre. Just a long counter, a list of sake worth talking about, and the best vibes in 8004.

Four plates worth crossing
a bridge for.

ラクレット稲荷

Raclette Inari

Sushi rice, melted Swiss raclette, soy-caramelised onion. The dish you came here for.

讃岐うどん

Sanuki Udon

Thick, square-cut noodles from Kagawa. Dashi pulled with niboshi. Chewy in a way machine-made can't fake.

唐揚げ

Karaage

Marinated overnight in ginger and shoyu. Twice-fried. Lemon at the table — non-negotiable.

酒トバ

Sake Toba

Cured salmon, lightly smoked, sliced thin. A bar snack from Hokkaido that drinks beautifully with junmai.

04 — The Chef

One kitchen.
One pair of hands.

Shokudo is run by a chef who trained in Tokyo and Kagawa, then made his life in Zürich. Every plate that leaves the kitchen leaves his hands. Every sake on the list was tasted twice before it earned its spot.

A small kitchen means small numbers — twenty-four seats, one service at a time. Reserve ahead. Stay late.
