TA Izakaya in Karlsruhe - the new Japanese restaurant in Karlsruhe

Centrally located at Kaiserstrasse 64, near the Karlsruhe market square, owner Van Trung Nguyen and his team bring the culinary magic of Japan right to downtown Karlsruhe: TA Izakaya delights guests inside with an elegant, sleek, and stylish Asian ambiance and treats the people of Karlsruhe to the incomparable cuisine of Japan: “Japanese cuisine is more than just sushi. It is considered sophisticated, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing. At TA Izakaya, we interpret Japanese cuisine in a high-quality and trendy way,” explains the owner.

The highlight of TA Izakaya: the Japanese "tapas"

In Japanese, "Izakaya" stands for a small, traditional pub that mainly offers drinks, but also small dishes. The word Izakaya is made up of the words: "I" for sitting and "Sakaya" for sake store. In other words, a small restaurant where you can enjoy the popular Japanese rice wine sake while sitting down and eating small dishes. And it is precisely this flair of Japanese sake bars that TA Izakaya transforms into a modern and unusual version: dark wood, straight lines, indirect lighting, cozy Japanese-style seating and the highlight: the fine Japanese tapas:

• Kani tempura - deep-fried butter crab, salad, fish vinaigrette
• Ceviche - salmon, shrimp, pulpo, red onions, chili, coriander, corn, avocado
• Taquito Tuna - Tuna & Tatar, Tortilla, Jalapeños, Shiso, Wakame, Tobiko, Chili-Truffle-Mayo
• Taquito Salmon - salmon & tartare, tortilla, avocado, wakame, shiso, tobiko, horseradish, chili truffle mayo
• Hot & Spicy - Black tiger prawns, chili, thyme, garlic, red onions
• BBQ scallops - grilled scallops, green asparagus, king oyster mushrooms, Wu Kong BBQ sauce
• Sake tataki - briefly seared salmon sashimi, miso teriyaki, salad

But the menu also includes Asian fusion tapas, such as spring rolls, fried shrimp, rice paper rolls with chicken or salmon, as well as the popular "Wakame" seaweed salad menu at TA Izakaya.

Conscious indulgence - selected ingredients at TA Izakaya

At TA Izakaya, indulgence is a top priority and this is also reflected in the selection of ingredients: "At TA Izakaya, our two sushi masters realize their vision of high-quality sushi, the likes of which can only be found in Japan. That's why we select the fish for our Japanese restaurant in Karlsruhe with care and consideration for the environment. For our salmon dishes, for example, we only use salmon with the 'Label Rouge' seal of quality, which is an official quality mark for top-quality food from France that is subject to strict specifications," says owner Van Trung Nguyen.
