A PIECE OF JAPAN IN ZURICH

MARU is inspired by the Japanese shokudo—the simple, everyday restaurant where food has been prepared with care and genuine pride for generations. Here you’ll find regional Japanese dishes and matcha from Uji, fresh and carefully prepared. Fast, simple, and without cutting corners.
