What Japanese Dining Styles Will You Find in Bangalore?

Which is the most authentic Japanese restaurant in Bangalore?

Azuki Japan Travel Bistro and Sake is the most traditionally Japanese restaurant in this guide, based on its menu and interiors. It has a 5.0★ rating and serves nigiri, maki, Shoyu Ramen and Natto Maki. Its dining room has tatami-style seating, bamboo wall art and traditional decor, and sake is part of its name.

Matsuri is the second most Japanese-led restaurant in this guide. It sits inside The Chancery Hotel and has a 4.5★ rating. Its minimalist wood interior, Tokusen Sushi Moriawase and Unagi Kyuri Maki Sushi keep the focus on Japanese dishes. This judgement rests on the menus and interiors described here, not on a review of the kitchen.

Japanese dining in Bangalore falls into a few formats, and knowing them makes ordering easier:

• Sushi counter and platter dining: Nigiri is a slice of fish over rice, and maki is a rice roll wrapped in seaweed. Moriawase means an assorted platter, which is how Matsuri offers its sushi.
• Ramen bowls: The broth defines the bowl. Shoyu is soy-based, shio is salt-based, and paitan is a creamy, rich broth. Azuki, Shibuya Xing and Matsuri all serve vegetarian ramen.
• Rice bowls and teppan-style plates: A don is a rice bowl, as in Matsuri's Karamayo Don. Shibuya Xing's Indo-Thai Tofu Teppan Bowl is a griddle-style option.
• Low-table seating: Azuki's cushioned floor seating follows the traditional Japanese way of sitting at a low table.
• Pan-Asian and lounge dining: Kenzai, Yazu and Juliet serve Japanese dishes alongside Chinese, Thai or Korean ones, which works well for groups with mixed tastes.

Which Japanese Dishes Should You Try in Bangalore?

The must-try Japanese dishes in Bangalore are Shoyu Ramen at Azuki, Tokusen Sushi Moriawase at Matsuri, Spicy Tuna Roll at Yazu, Half Moon Gyoza Dumplings at Kenzai and Chicken Teriyaki Dim Sum at Shibuya Xing. Each is listed as a must-have at its restaurant.

• Salmon Nigiri (Azuki): Nigiri served as a slice of salmon over rice, listed as a must-have at Azuki.
• Natto Maki (Azuki): Natto is fermented soybeans, and this is the maki roll listed as a must-have at Azuki.
• Unagi Kyuri Maki Sushi (Matsuri): A roll that pairs unagi (eel) with kyuri (cucumber).
• Shirunashi Tantanmen (Matsuri): A tantanmen noodle dish with the name "shirunashi", meaning without soup.
• Karamayo Don (Matsuri): A don, or rice bowl, named for karamayo, the Japanese spicy mayonnaise.
• Indo-Thai Tofu Teppan Bowl (Shibuya Xing): A tofu bowl cooked teppan-style, listed as a must-have at Shibuya Xing.

Which ramen places in Bangalore have the best broth and toppings?

Azuki, Shibuya Xing and Matsuri are the best ramen places in Bangalore on this list. Azuki's Shoyu Ramen and Veg Paitan Ramen cover a soy broth and a creamy broth; Shibuya Xing offers both Shoyu Grilled Chicken Ramen and a Shio Ramen, and Matsuri offers a Veg Ramen and a Tantanmen. The menus here do not give broth or topping details, so ask your server how each bowl is made.

Kenzai and Yazu serve Korean-influenced ramen. Kenzai serves Korean Champong Ramen Bowls and a Sokl Soba (Pork Rib Ramen). Yazu serves a Kimchi Chicken Pork Ramen. Order these for a Korean-style bowl.

Three vegetarian ramen bowls are listed: Veg Paitan Ramen at Azuki, Mix Veggie Delight Shio Ramen at Shibuya Xing and Veg Ramen at Matsuri.

Where Can You Find Sake and Japanese Drinks in Bangalore?

Azuki Japan Travel Bistro and Sake is the clearest sake-led choice in this guide, as sake is part of its name and its concept. Sake is a Japanese rice-based drink, and it pairs naturally with sushi and ramen. Menu details such as the sake list and prices were not available for this guide, so confirm them with the restaurant when you book.

The other restaurants have lounge, supper-club and rooftop settings. Kenzai calls itself a lounge, Yazu is a supper club, and Juliet has a dedicated bar under a white winged sculpture. These formats suit an evening of drinks with dinner. Check each restaurant's current drinks menu before you go.
