A stone’s throw from Brussels-Luxembourg station, a new gourmet destination invites you on a journey. Since returning from Tokyo, the founder of this project has embarked on a specific quest: to rediscover the authenticity of Japanese flavors in the heart of Brussels. This is how SŪN was born, a place where Japanese rigor meets Belgian conviviality.
A guarantee of quality, this establishment is the result of a collaboration between two coffee enthusiasts and a Japanese chef. Together, they have created a hybrid concept where the mastery of specialty coffee blends perfectly with traditional recipes revisited, offering an original alternative to the classic lunch breaks of the European quarter.
SŪN: animmersion in Onigiri, Sūndo, and exceptional caffeine
As you will see, SŪN’s menu explores the different facets of Japanese street food with artisanal precision. Lovers of classics will turn to Onigiri, those famous stuffed rice triangles, carefully wrapped to ensure the nori seaweed remains crisp. For those looking for something more substantial, Sūndos are a must: these generous sandwiches feature breaded chicken or tamago (Japanese omelet), all wrapped in soft white bread. But the real signature dish remainsthe Onigirazu, a fascinating hybrid between a sandwich and sushi that combines rich fillings and firm rice. It’s the ideal choice for a quick meal!
The drinks menu is equally impressive, as the establishment defines itself first and foremost as a specialty coffee shop. Each drink is prepared with precision, from creamy cappuccinos to refreshingiced lattes. Creativity is also expressed through more daring drinks such as the Matcha Latte with Yuzu syrup, a surprising combination of the bitterness of green tea and the acidity of an iconic Japanese citrus fruit.
