Karu
Aurakatu 3 B, 20100 TurkuSocial Dining with an Asian Spirit
Karu is a stunning, modern yet tradition-honouring blend of a Japanese izakaya and a sushi bar. We serve delicate flavours and fireworks on a plate – all with warmth and attention to detail. Our menu features shareable dishes with seafood, meat, vegetables – and, of course, sushi and sashimi. The carefully curated drinks list includes small-producer wines, premium sakes, and handcrafted cocktails. Karu isn’t a quiet fine dining restaurant – it’s a place to enjoy good vibes, whether you’re in business casual or dressed for the cottage. We want every visit to be a memorable experience of food, drink, and atmosphere. At Karu, JOY is something we share!

Menu
This menu is built around Finnish ingredients, with a particular focus on local fish and the flavours of autumn.
