The story
In Nola, Roji has earned a passionate following for its serious approach to Japanese cuisine. Creator Jana Food Porn calls it one of the top three sushi spots in Campania, highlighting the restaurant’s use of ikejime-caught tuna. The à la carte menu includes a Wagyu hamburger and a trio of nigiri—akami, chutoro, and otoro.
Beyond sushi, Jana describes Roji as “the most Japanese experience in Italy,” anchored by a spectacular kaitai ceremony and an unforgettable kaiseki tasting menu. Standout courses range from a shiso leaf tempura with tuna tartare and caviar to a slow-grilled tuna steak over Japanese charcoal, plus a soba noodle dish with chutoro sashimi and Wagyu bone marrow. It’s a deeply researched, elegantly executed ode to Japanese culinary tradition.
