The Catch is a Japanese gastropub (izakaya). It was started as a small family business in Riga that grew into an international restaurant brand. Our dining style is relaxed, heart-warming and fun. We make traditional Japanese food in a modern European reading. We cook seafood, meat and vegetables over hot charcoal (traditional Japanese robatayaki grill), as well as bowls, tempura and karaage. We serve raw seafood as classic and new-style sashimi, sushi and poke. You are welcome to enjoy our selection of sake, Japanese beer and whisky, as well as a range of signature cocktails created by leading barmen of Latvia and Russia. We are open late every night as a cozy bar, a perfect place for socializing and making new friends. The Catch is run by enthusiasts with a strong background in restaurant business. We are a team of believers and go-getters. The kind that wants to perform at its best and works hard every day to make it happen. Our people are honored to deliver exceptional Japanese food, the finest beverages and a distinctively warm atmosphere to our beloved guests. Each of us values aesthetics and sees his work as a form of art. We take pride in what we do and invite you to share our vision. All of our restaurants, both in Riga and Berlin, are led by our visionary Alexander Slobine. It was he who opened the first Japanese restaurant in Riga almost twenty years ago, attracting gourmets from the Baltic region for years to come. Now he's put his knowledge and experience into The Catch, which he calls his life's work. We want to offer our diners only the best, so we carefully choose our product sources and ingredient suppliers. We hold a fish importer's license to buy fish directly from the fish market. We care about every detail and strive for perfection. The Catch is not just a restaurant, it's an experience,' Alexander says.
