Authentic tachi-nomi-ya, a stand-up bar where you can eat small Japanese dishes such as omurice, marinated pork belly, salmon carpaccio or - recommendation! - Takoyaki, deep-fried dough balls filled with octopus. It goes well with an ice-cold Kirin beer or sake.

Klosterstraße 53, 40211 Dusseldorf, Germany

Hot love: takoyaki, crispy, melt-in-the-mouth snack balls filled with octopus, spring onions and tempura leftovers, which are eaten as street food at festivals in Japan. Here they are also available vegetarian, with ramen and with various sauces that you absolutely must try.

Immermannstraße 30, 40210 Dusseldorf, Germany

The favourite restaurant of many local Japanese. No wonder: the fish is of the very highest quality, the preparation is traditional and the ambience and presentation of the dishes are reduced to the essentials. This is particularly appreciated by purists. Chirashi sushi and sashimi are out of this world.

These karaage, which are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, which Kensuke Yano serves with various sauces - such as sweet chili or garlic mayo - are outrageously good. There is also a lot of deep-frying. If you don't like that, choose the curry udon soup. Be sure to try the mochi for dessert.

Birkenstraße 72, 40233 Dusseldorf, Germany

A feel-good place in the Japanese quarter with a great sake menu, sushi, fried snacks, soups and the best okonomiyaki in town. The pancakes, made from cabbage, eggs, flour and dashi, are fried on a hot teppan grill and topped with mayo and bonito flakes.

The store is a legend and still delivers award-winning ramen specialties even after 17 years. Fans are happy to queue up for it. One of many highlights: The slightly savoury "Surf & Turf" ramen with savoury miso broth, deep-fried chicken, prawns and egg.

Immermannstr 28, 40210 Dusseldorf, Germany

The pork broth cooked for eight hours for the rich tonkotsu ramen has a particularly savoury taste. It is served with thin noodles, sliced roast meat and all kinds of toppings such as pickled ginger, leek and egg. Slurps up just as well: the vegetarian TanTan-Men.

A long-established Japanese snack bar with an unadorned ambience and functional furniture. It's the gastronomic values that matter here - and they are quite something. In addition to various homemade noodle soups, there are fried noodles, rice dishes and a great repertoire of starters.
