DAIKAN IZAKAYA BAR - Koeln

General New attempt to approach Japanese cuisine, which is offered in Germany in special restaurants. “Izakaya” is probably a gastronomy style in Japan. The name is made up of i (seat and sakaya (sake shop) and thus means as much as “seat shop to sit”: a kind of pub. My daughter accompanied these excursions and is for me the expert in this sector and trust her judgement. Ambience Amazing is for me that you cannot reserve here. You come and have luck, the places are free or you wait or you go somewhere else (take it or leave it). On the outside, some tables were set up to the street – most guests were sitting there. But that was too loud and uncomfortable and we went inside. There wasn't much going on. My daughter liked the facility very well. Wallwork partly and industrial design. For me it may be a bit more cozy (but this is a taste question and probably also a thing of age. Cleanliness Everything worked neatly well maintained. The toilets are located in a backyard. Perhaps there were other tables (before Corona ; for it is a relatively long “slee”. The way from the outskirts of the road to there seems to me quite far, even from the guest room not exactly close. On the left and right high walls. The plant itself also kept in brick style. Something morbid. Service Four girls stood in the counter and were probably very busy with themselves. They talked and showed each other photos on their phones. They laughed and commented on the pictures (it was probably cats or dogs and also toddlers – as far as we understand the voices. It was cheerful people, but also something unobtrusive about what customer care was about. But when they had time to come to the table, they were really friendly and open to small comments The map(s The “Daikan Izakaya Bar” was created as a succession for the Shibuya Sushi Bar in 2016. Unlike many Sushi restaurants, the concept is here: Japanese oriented beverages and food are the focus. There are beside sushi, Japanese little things, you could call them Japanese tapas and cocktails as well as other drinks. The restaurant also offers ramen soups. There are maps in German and English (the descriptions are not completely congruent. The tasting lunches are a lunch offer consisting of two components that you can choose. We chose Sushi and Kimchi as well as ramen and cucumber salad. €12.90 is due for this. Rainbow Roll: Inside out Maki filled with tuna, cucumber, fresh cheese, in tuna salmon avocado coat – Kimchi The sushi rolls had a pleasant aroma. The mango tone at some taps was especially good at us. Wasabi Paste was also successful. The ginger had further notes. Kimchi was marked as sharp. But that was not so bad, because it was more harmonious than expected. ramen soup with egg, noodles and other insert: chicken and vegetarian rolls or The broth was well tasted. The deposits already gave an Asian impression together. The cucumber salad was actually also sharp for us (as announced. But a short time ago I had these two courses also in the taku* at the Dom. And that didn't allow me to keep the taste. Chocolate Gyoza with salt caramel (4.50 € The dough bags were sweet and crispy. The chocolate didn't seem very high, but all right. The caramel was slightly seasoned and showed delicate salt notes drinks Maracuja Schorle (Homemade Lemonade – 0.3 l – 3.50 € iced tea (homemade – 0.3 l lemon mint – 3.50 € The homemade drinks were well cooled. But the taste was not so much for us that we needed more of it. Afri Cola (0.25 l – 3.00 € Sion Kölsch (0.2 l from the barrel – 2.50 € Therefore, we chose Cola or as other drinks. Kölsch. We know both varieties and like them. Price performance ratio The lunch table seemed appropriate to us in price. Beverages always cost a little more than in free sale – but also keep within the scope. Conclusion 4 – happy again: if you have something to do in Cologne and stay in the area. In the Belgian quarter, however, there are some interesting competitors who also offer delicious dishes. (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – absolutely again – after “Kuechenreise” Date of visit: 23.07. 2020 – noon – 2 people My enjoyable experiences are also at [here link] Total – Service – Cleanliness – Essen – Ambiente P L V 4 3 4 3.5 4

Food was delicious, service was nice and attentive. it was very cold in the restaurant. at the end (under the week at 22.15 o'clock) one had the feeling that the personal now but also wants to go. as always everything is great and still one of my favorite restaurants in köln.

After so many paintings, I have already tried across the menu and it was all delicious! also very authentic cuisine, only very recommended! I would go every day, I wouldn't study abroad :d

On a Saturday evening there were no mochis anymore, there is a caccipital occupation you have only 1.5 hours time and so you will not be served comfortably, on the big tables you sit almost on the lap.

We were here for 5x, the rams are really delicious but the ambiente annoys. the personal is nice but conveys the feeling of a snack! When I go to dinner with friends, I don't want to be addressed 3x that the table needs to be released again. appetizer, suppe came together. the last time the appetizer came after the pay.
