The story
On Klosterstraße in Düsseldorf, Yabase brings a focused, traditional approach to Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is built around sushi and sashimi, prepared with the precision that earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction. The menu is straightforward and honest: lunch and dinner service, with a clear emphasis on the craft of nigiri, hosomaki, and sashimi.
The atmosphere is understated and welcoming. Yabase offers both indoor dining and outdoor seating, with takeaway and delivery options for those who prefer to enjoy their meal at home. The lunch menu runs Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 to 14:00, and dinner service continues from 18:00 to 21:30. Reservations are accepted, though the restaurant notes that 19:00 slots are limited — a sign of its quiet popularity.
Beyond sushi, the kitchen prepares tempura, unagi, noodles, soups, and desserts, all rooted in Japanese traditions. A selection of beer, wine, and sake complements the meal. The team at Yabase keeps things simple and direct: no fuss, just well-made Japanese food in the heart of Düsseldorf. For anyone seeking genuine Asian flavours and a Michelin-recognised experience, Yabase delivers without pretence.
