Zurich: Decent Japanese restaurants?

Hi restaurant fans,

Recently Switzerland has been noticing that Asian culture is quite interesting. Since I spent a lot of time around Asian cultures it's something that I really miss. Anyway, I noticed that there seem to be a few Japanese restaurants popping up, so I thought I'd invite some discussion on the subject.

What I'd like to know is does someone know of a restaurant that does REAL Japanese food, by this I don't mean all the standard stuff like sushi, tenpura etc. to a high standard (i guess this last point is going to subjective!!)

While I'm on the topic I can write a little mini-review (very mini) on 2 places where I go.

Tiffins - I've done this place to death now due to a lack of alternatives in the area. It's starting to get on my nerves though due to the smoking and the fact that I always have to wait ages to get a table, then get squeezed next to other people on a table of 6-8 (you never really get used to that unless you grew up here do you?).

Nooba - When I first heard about this place I was blown away. Non-smoking (completely) and free parking underneath the building. Wow - I couldn't believe that they would give me parking instead of a lecture about how I should use public transport instead. Unfortunately the food is (in my opinion) very substandard, and the menu, even though an attempt at Asian cuisine is rather boring. The decor is nice and the location is central though. So like Tiffins I begrudingly go there....

Anyone else got some good tips? I haven't been to Yooji's in about 3 years - any good?
