Like in Japan, where sushi is considered “premium fast food”, don’t hesitate to pass by whenever you feel like a quick bite! We try to serve you speedy, while preserving the refined details and quality of the product.
We also invite you to enjoy your sushi lunch or dinner in our modern dining area and sushi counter. In the summer our terrace is a prime spot to relax and savour a bite and drink. If you have time to linger, spend the afternoon sampling excellent Japanese green tea and sweets.

- European sushi -
Being Japanese, we are proud that sushi has become an internationally recognised dish –appreciated all over the world, including Belgium.
However, we often come across sushi that is not prepared according to Japanese standards. Recipes are regularly imported from the USA using deep-fried techniques and sweet/spicy sauces.
Of course we welcome local adaptations of an original dish; but at KO’UZI we want to translate the Japanese spirit into sophisticated European variations of sushi.
We focus on the quality of the fish, and at the same time, give the dish a western touch and design. Our “creative” sushi pieces are made with out-of-the-ordinary ingredients, but always stay true to the refinement and tradition of the original Japanese bites.
- Sharing knowledge -
KO’UZI is also giving workshops in which we share our knowledge in genuine Japanese spirit.
It is not always easy to find in Europe correct information on sushi and its ingredients...
On the other hand, Japan’s government started to invest in exporting its food culture by promoting “Washoku” (Japanese kitchen).
And the All Japan Sushi Association is setting up a certification system to encourage foreign sushi chefs to level up their skills based on authentic knowledge of Japanese food.
At KO’UZI we want to contribute to these programmes through our workshops, where you can learn to make sushi the way it was meant to be made.
Owner & chef
Having spent her youth primarily in Europe, Junko imported and distributed Belgian and French chocolates in Japan in her early professional years.
Since her marriage in 2006 she has lived in Belgium.
In 2007 she organised an international sushi competition at the Lyon food event “Sirha”.
KO’UZI sushi shop opened in June 2008 at Sint-Jorispoort, Antwerp.
In 2013, Junko was the runner-up in the World Sushi Cup in Tokyo with her creative sushi. A Japanese public jury took into account originality, taste, technique and presentation of the sushi created by chefs working outside of Japan.
After six years, in 2014, KO’UZI moved to a bigger location – just down the street at the Leopoldplaats – where we share a space with our partner Azumaya, a Japanese tea café.
- Azumaya -
Next to KO’UZI, you can find Azumaya, an authentic Japanese green tea café and lifestyle shop. An “Azumaya” is the typical pavilion that you often find in a Japanese garden. It is a place where people rest, relax, and enjoy a cup of tea. This is exactly what our tea café is: a place to sit back and savour genuine Japanese green tea.
At Azumaya you can discover what makes Japanese green tea so unique. We have special degustation menus that offer different kinds of green tea. We will be happy to demonstrate how you can prepare and preserve delicious and healthy green tea. We also organize workshops to share our in-depth Japanese tea knowledge.
We offer tea from different Japanese regions, imported directly from the producer. Besides tea you can also find Japanese teapots, cups and a range of accessories to prepare the perfect cup of green tea.
Club 88 membership: become a member and you can now enjoy a new Japanese green tea every month!!
