Oh my gosh, I love this place so much…read more My husband and I are huge ramen fans, and this place never disappoints. We've been to several ramen restaurants in Düsseldorf, and Zipang may even be an inch above those. We usually get gyoza to start, which is perfectly cooked with a flavorful filling. The miso ramen is my go-to choice, and it's always perfect the way it is. I love the texture of the noodles and the flavor of the broth is so tasty. Mochi is a must for dessert. They sometimes switch up the flavors which is nice. I've had chocolate, vanilla, green tea, and black sesame. It can definitely get crowded in here, but I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes for a seat. The outdoor seating is nice in the summer, and I like the Japanese style of the indoor seating. Definitely looking forward to exploring the menu more and coming again and again!

Minimalist interior, Japanese staff, Japanese guests, and very tasty Japanese food that is worth every cent. I had the seafood salat as a starter and a sushi and sashimi mix for my main. Super fresh fish, very tasty and nicely textured rice (which is really important for good sushi), and good service. I'll definitely come back for some Udong noodles and some grilled dishes.

The food was delicious for me (a noodle soup), though average for my friend (cooked vegetables). Appetizers and desert were awesome too. Overall I can't give 5 stars because of the service: the girls seemed to be busy with paperwork, I don't know if we were unlucky or if this is a regular thing. Still a very good addition to any foodie map. (it seems to be a good idea to make a reservation first - though there was no answer when we tried)

Thus, we shared a Shabu Shabu in a friendly space, sitting in a traditional Japanese way. Shabu Shabu is a fondue made of vegetables and beef. The price is high: 29 €, but the service is good because the waiters help us prepare and cook our food. There is also a Shabu Shabu menu for € 59 where you have different dishes such as chicken skewers, traditional soup, fresh fish and a dessert.

It's a small, quaint shop and has been owned by a very kind Japanese man since 1990; he doesn't speak much English but always gives me a smile when I'm there. There is also an English menu available. There's some non-sushi dishes hand written in German on a chalkboard on the wall. This includes a salmon miso soup which I enjoyed, although I like the sushi a bit more. It's pricy like most sushi places (you'll probably pay 10-15€ to eat), although the presentation is nice and it's of high quality ingredients. I could easily recommend this place if you're looking for sushi in Hamburg.
