In a sea, or rather lagoon, of only Venetian and Italian dining options, some will inevitably tire of all the pasta and seafood sauces and crave for something different. Asian cuisine is not very well represented here in Venice, but Mirai offers a more than acceptable alternative. With fresh market bought fish they churn out some very respectable sashimi, maguro and tempura, which despite being expensive, are to a comparable standard of the US or other more sushi-fond European cities.
