Daikan Izakaya bar

Daikan in the heart of the Belgian Quarter offers an authentic slice of Japanese cuisine in the centre of Cologne. The simple industrial-style interior and the open kitchen behind glass lend the restaurant a special charm reminiscent of cosy evenings in traditional izakayas. Lovers of Japanese cuisine will get their money's worth here, whether with fresh sushi creations, spicy poké bowls or the popular bao buns.

Ramen, sushi, poké and more 

The Daikan menu stands out thanks to its variety and the chef's uncompromising quality standards. The Spicy Miso Tantan Ramen is particularly recommended for guests who prefer meat and appreciate a spicy flavour. But the vegetarian version also leaves nothing to be desired. The use of fresh ingredients, especially the exclusively fresh tuna, ensures that every plate lives up to the claim of excellence.

Sociable ambience and drinks selection

The communal concept also characterises the seating culture: large tables encourage interaction between guests, who often continue the evening together. Daikan's drinks menu rounds off the experience, with a selection of Japanese Asahi beer, local Kölsch varieties and original, homemade iced teas. The carefully selected wines and cocktails complete the offer for eventful evenings.
