Hamburg's first genuine tachinomi bar (立ち飲み, tachi = to stand, nomi = to drink) is one of the most authentic Japanese concepts in the city. Not a classic restaurant, but a place for after work, friends and lots of small plates. No reservations – just come and dive in.
„Japan for sharing. At Izakaya by Dokuwa, karaage, sashimi, tempura, yakitori and changing daily specials come to the table – uncomplicated, precise and full of flavour. No sushi show, but honest izakaya cooking, the kind you'd fall for after work in Tokyo.“
Eating standing up, drinking sake, striking up conversation with strangers – that's where the fun is here. The small spot in the Karoviertel is lively and warm-hearted. In summer, guests stand outside, moving effortlessly between Izakaya by Dokuwa and the neighbouring wine bar A Wolf Will Never Be a Pet, turning the pavement into a meeting point.
An evening with friends, when sharing and drinking are the whole point.
