Sushi lovers in Rome, with the warm weather there is a chance to have a picnic at the EUR pond. Daruma Sushi, the Japanese restaurant chain, in its Rome EUR location offers a picnic formula to be experienced under the cherry blossom trees. The restaurant allows you to order sushi take away (so the cost varies depending on what you choose) and provides the picnic basket, napkins, tablecloth, and towel (on deposit).
A nice and different experience to be had in nature, perhaps taking advantage of the not-too-hot spring temperatures. How much does sushi cost at Daruma’s? A 16-piece box 25 euros, the 50-piece box 49 euros.
Daruma is located at Viale America 9, in the heart of the EUR district, a modern and well-connected area ideal for both business lunches and relaxed dinners. For those who want to eat inside, think on a rainy day, the restaurant offers a pleasant, modern atmosphere with minimalist furnishings and red walls. It features both indoor and outdoor tables and a kaiten ribbon (the typical Japanese “sushi train”).
It offers traditional Japanese dishes, with a selection ranging from classic sushi to fusion creations, without neglecting vegan options.

Fun fact: Daruma is a traditional Japanese votive doll, easily recognized by its round shape, lacking arms and legs, and stylized face with large white eyes. It represents Bodhidharma, the Indian monk and founder of Zen Buddhism, known in Japan as Daruma.
