Japanese restaurant Enschede
Japanese restaurant Enschede: discover the exclusive world of Sage. A Japanese restaurant that dares to go further.
If you are looking for a Japanese restaurant in Enschede, there are plenty of places that will serve you sushi or ramen. But what if you long for more, for an experience that not only indulges your taste buds, but also piques your curiosity?
Welcome to Sage.
Sage is not a classic Japanese restaurant in Enschede, but an experience. Here Japanese cuisine is not simply replicated, but interpreted with refinement, creativity and a touch of rebellion. Expect dishes that respect tradition while pushing boundaries, prepared with the best ingredients from all over the world.


Why Sage is not a typical Japanese restaurant in Enschede
Sage takes inspiration from Japanese cuisine without being constrained by conventions. The result is a bold blend of authentic techniques, high-quality products and modern flair. Think flamed Wagyu Beef nigiri, Uramaki with King Crab, avocado and mango, or hamachi sashimi refined with ponzu and jalapeño.
The menu reflects this vision, with dishes such as:
- Wagyu Beef nigiri, lightly flambéed and enriched with truffle
- Hot Chili Tuna Dragon Maki, with tuna, yuzu tobiko and avocado
- King Crab Maki, combined with mango, cucumber and caviar
- Sashimi platter, a selection of daily fresh premium fish
- Seabass ceviche, fresh with yuzu ponzu and miso aji amarillo
Here you taste not only Japan, but the world around it.
Top-level sushi and sashimi
At Sage, sushi is treated as an art form. Each nigiri is hand-pressed, with airy, warm rice and fish of unparalleled quality. The sashimi is served as it should be, pure, fresh and aesthetically presented.
Nigiri options include:
- Salmon
- Flamed salmon
- Red snapper
- Hamachi
- Wagyu Beef
- Bluefin tuna
- Unagi (eel)
For lovers of raw and pure, there is the impressive sashimi platter, where ingredients such as bluefin toro and hamachi shine in simplicity and perfection.
The signature rolls are equally memorable, including:
- Salmon on Fire Maki, salmon, avocado and cream cheese, lightly flambéed
- Original Dragon Roll, with shrimp tempura, asparagus and avocado
- Wagyu Beef Maki, Wagyu Beef, mozzarella, avocado and truffle
- Rainbow Roll, with mixed fresh fish, shrimp tempura and avocado
Hot dishes with Japanese influences
Sage offers more than just cold delicacies. The hot menu shows how versatile Japanese inspiration can be. Highlights include:
- Chicken yakitori, chicken skewers with homemade yakitori sauce
- Ebi fry, Japanese fried shrimp with spicy mayonnaise
- Black cod, black fish with miso
- Dry aged ribeye, perfectly cooked with chimichurri sauce
- Wagyu Beef A5, exclusive top quality Japanese beef
The robatayaki grilling technique brings out the best in meat and fish, with dishes such as Wagyu skewers, prawn skewers and rack of lamb.
A suitable dish for every party
Whether dining with avid sushi lovers or guests who prefer meat dishes, Sage offers a balanced menu. Vegetarians can enjoy creations like the Veggie Maki with shiitake and truffle, while meat lovers can feast on dishes like Beef Tataki or an impressive Dry Aged Tomahawk Steak.
There are also plenty of choices for light lunch dishes and salads, such as the Green Salad with pine nuts and parmesan or the Prawn Salad with cajun herbs and spinach.
Wines and cocktails that complete the experience
An experience at Sage doesn't stop at the plate. The restaurant has an impressive wine list and a creative cocktail selection that perfectly complement the sophisticated dishes.
With a fresh sashimi or ceviche goes a glass of Domaine Trimbach Pinot Blanc from Alsace, with its lively acidity and floral notes. Those opting for rich, complex flavors such as Wagyu Beef A5 or Dry Aged Ribeye can be seduced by the power and depth of a Mauro Molino Barolo DOCG.
The cocktails at Sage are a work of art in themselves. The 'Stay at Home Daddy,' a combination of whiskey, sugar syrup and bitters, pairs beautifully with meat dishes. For those seeking light, fresh flavors, the 'Red Evil Mojito' with raspberries and mint offers a perfect match with dishes like the Salmon Tartare or Hamachi ceviche.
Lovers of special creations can end their evening with a Wrong Island Ice Tea or the luxurious Moët Limoncello Spritz, which brings together elegance and excitement in one glass.
The extensive menu thus offers a perfect accompaniment for every dish and preference, making every meal at Sage a harmonious interplay of flavors.
