Hidden gem in Kalk - Edit
This all-vegan place is a cozy restaurant where you can find gorgeous Japanese food and cake at a very reasonable price. Not only is the food authetic and nearly everything is handmade, from the Udon noodles to the spices, the pickles and the cakes, they apply Japanese techniques to regional and seasonal ingredients as well (had some radish kohlrabi pickles which were really good, loved the innovation!!). I also have never seen shiso lemonade in Japan before, which is available here. They also sell unique merchandise such as prints, t-shirts and canvas bags. The vegan tiramisu was so freakin good, the pear pudding cake was a little bit too heavy for me but my sister loved it anyways. Make sure to make a reservation since this place is always well visited.

Super Essen - Edit
Große Auswahl. Es hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt. Von den Beilagen fand ich die Kroketten besonders lecker. Es gibt nur Alkoholfreie Getränke.

World-class udon - Edit
Udon made on world-class level. Excellent cake. Coffee very good & fair trade. Very good buckwheat tea (!). In side street close to subway stop "Kalk Post", around 7 stops f/ central train station. Rough part of town that slowly becomes hip; no histers, though. Politically left people, no health bullshit. Inside, around 25 seats. Reserve, it's packed. Gender-cool environment.

After traveling to Japan I've always been craving those delicious Udon noodle soups but was never able to find vegan ones with the original taste.
Read moreLuckily I found this place - totally recommend it!
You have to get up and order/pay, which is no problem for me. The price was very good! And nice atmosphere.
The best surprise was the cheese cake which was the most delicious cheese cake I have ever tried (including non-vegan cheese cakes)!!

Excellent Food! - Edit
I had a feeling this restaurant was going to be superb from the moment I entered the front door. The owners have great energy, and the restaurant smells incredible.
Read moreI saw an assortment of dishes on customers' tables, and they also looked terrific.
I ordered the garlic udon and vegetable tempura with no rice.
The broth was rich and super flavorful, and the noodles were very fresh. The tempura was light and very tasty. The prices are very reasonable.
What a welcome addition to Cologne!
Pros: Excellent food, Cosy atmosphere, Great service

A super cosy udon restaurant which is located just 15 min. from "Köln Messe". Besides japanese food (Udon noodles, tendon & soups) they also serve vegan cakes, brownies and tasty cookies. The staff is always very friendly and courteous, I have been there multiple times since they opened and its always a great experience.
