The 10 best Japanese restaurants in Frankfurt

Masaru Oae combines authentic Japanese cuisine with European elements: The nine-course menu with sashimi and sushi is a gastronomic experience. Matching sake accompaniment.

The best thing to do is sit at the counter and watch Hiro Sakai celebrate his high Japanese gastronomic art. This gives you a feel for his meticulousness and passion. Great omakase menu with wagyu steak.

The restaurant works with different types of Wagyu, including the tender and aromatic Ozaki Wagyu beef. The cuisine is based on excellent products from selected producers. Everything is prepared on hot teppanyaki tables. Good wines, sake and Japanese whiskies.

The cuisine is not strictly purist and is more experimental than others in this genre. It appeals to young guests. It tastes more spirited than usual at a Japanese restaurant. Example: Iberico Negishio, SAVOURY cutlet with leek and sea salt.

Inexpensive lunch menus, lots of small plates with Japanese tapas. Classic and Americanized bites. Particularly popular: flambéed salmon with sweet chili sauce, tuna belly tartare, spicy tuna, grilled freshwater eel in mirin sauce. Fizz: sparkling sake.

It's hard to find such a cheerful Japanese restaurant with smiling staff anywhere else. The well-seasoned dishes are also fun. Among the ramen dishes, "Tokyo style", juicy thick noodles in a delicate broth with minced meat, vegetables, bean sprouts and spring onions, is the best.

A place for purists who appreciate no frills when it comes to food and furnishings. Many Japanese among the guests. The bento box is always the right choice, it also saves you a long search. Our favourites are spicy tuna, salmon in all its forms and sashimi.

You can get real fresh wasabi on request, not the coloured horseradish paste. Everything is straightforward and clear. Slightly sweet marinated unagi (eel), sake (salmon), ebi (king prawn) and maguro (tuna) are precisely crafted miniatures.

Asian fusion restaurant with a sushi counter. They even serve Sushi pizza! They see themselves as a fun place that wants to convey fun. The chefs are also clearly enjoying themselves. The sushi is good, the crispy chicken roll is one of the best fancy-style bites.

The beautifully decorated Japanese dining room shows what kind of cuisine is served here. The hot and cold dishes are prepared in an authentic Japanese style, with a modern touch here and there. Everything is made from the best products and ingredients. The first-class sushi and sashimi are a big hit.
