You’ll find a description under “Menu” that gives you a taste of what to expect. Plus, we regularly share videos and photos on our social media pages.

Our restaurant follows the philosophy of “Omakase,” which roughly translates to “trust the chef.” This is exactly what we kindly ask of you. We truly want only the very best for you — promised. 🙂

Our menu is priced at €250 per person from Tuesday to Thursday.

On weekends (Friday and Saturday), the menu price is €270 per person.

With this adjustment, we are responding to the higher demand on weekends while also aiming to create a balanced and attractive offering during the week.

Despite the reduced VAT rate, it is unfortunately not possible for us to lower our prices due to continuously increasing costs — including premium ingredients, supplier costs, energy prices, and the general operational expenses of running the restaurant.

At the same time, it is very important to us to provide our team with fair and reliable wages and to maintain sustainable, long-term working conditions. Quality, consistency, and a responsible approach toward both our employees and our products remain our highest priorities.

As a rule, we try to accommodate anything that doesn’t compromise the overall experience. This usually means omitting individual components rather than replacing them.

We do not offer a vegan menu. We are also unable to accommodate the following intolerances and allergies:

• Lactose
• Gluten / coeliac disease
• Onions and garlic – we’re in the Palatinate, and we love its rustic character. Both are an integral part of our cooking.
• Histamine

Fish isn’t simply part of our menu – it’s its essence. We therefore cannot offer menus without fish.

We ferment, grill and smoke. And we love pouring you some exceptional wines along the way.

Please let us know about any allergies or intolerances when booking. If we only learn about them during your visit, we cannot guarantee that adjustments will be possible. Where adjustments are possible but involve additional work, an extra charge will apply, agreed with you in advance.

We’re happy to get in touch with you a few days before your reservation to go over a few details – like dietary restrictions and/or your drink preferences.

For groups of 6 or more, we’re excited to serve you a curated drink pairing with your menu – for a smooth experience and easy planning on both sides.

No. Think of it like being at the theater or cinema—you wouldn’t expect to see the ending early.

If, for any reason, you need to leave before the menu is complete, the full menu price will still be charged.

From 2024, the following opening hours apply:

Tue, Thu, Fri, and Saturday from 18:30

Sun, Mon, Wed are rest days

Every first Sunday of the month is Late Lunch. we serve the signature menue at 2 p.m.

On these days, we offer 2 arrival times that must be observed. 18:30 is the first arrival time, 19:30 marks the start of the second seating. Reservations arriving after 20:00 will skip the first two acts and be welcomed directly into the restaurant.

We have two guest rooms. In one of them, you are welcome to bring your four-legged friend with prior notice.

You can reserve the rooms via email or with our online booking system, you’ll find a categorie for that named “sleep and dine”

The card is not charged in advance; the data is transmitted to us encrypted via the reservation system. For cancellations (within 72 hours), we charge a €150 cancellation fee per seat. For last-minute cancellations or No-Shows we charge the price for the menu.

This is a safeguard we’ve had to implement over the years to ensure that we can continue to pay fair wages and never have to negotiate prices with our producers.

Live and let live.

We currently accept reservations up to 90 days in advance. The system updates automatically.

Are you a group of 6 or more or interested in a private event? Then send us an email—because here, exceptions prove the rule.

Yes, we offer a non-alcoholic pairing, consisting of infusions, cocktails, and juices, mostly made in-house.

We do our best to arrange a taxi for your way home.

The rule of thumb: the larger your group or the longer your journey, the longer the wait time.

The fact is: Wachenheim is not Berlin, and taxis are as rare as unicorns in the countryside. 🦄 Please let us know early if you need a ride home, or take matters into your own hands.

Our trusted taxi companies:

Taxi Deidesheim: 06326 7013130

Taxi Cusnick: 06322 1866

Drive Express: 06322 5555

You can park behind the house on Langgasse and walk around the building to reach the restaurant.

In this area, you’ll also find two charging stations. We take a fee for 25 Euro for charging.

If these are occupied—since e-mobility is slowly taking off—there are two more at Rathausplatz.

Birthdays, anniversaries

so many wonderful occasions to celebrate…

In our eyes, extra decorations aren’t necessary: every seat in our restaurant is already a beautiful spot. But if your heart is set on flowers, we’re happy to arrange a floral decoration by our florist, Iris Diehl, that complements the setting, starting at €50.

We don’t serve birthday cake. Our menu is already generous, so you’ll want to save your appetite for what’s to come.

Why not treat yourselves to a bottle of sparkling wine for your special occasion? We’re happy to send you our wine list in advance.

No. We have a dog ourselves, and it almost breaks our hearts to say no, but the restaurant has been renovated and furnished to such a high standard that we simply cannot allow dog hair inside.

You can pay your bill on-site in cash or with a debit/credit card (VISA, MasterCard, or AMEX).

Yes, there are three small steps at the entrance, where we are happy to assist you. The rest of the building (except for the guest rooms) is wheelchair accessible. A seat at the counter is unfortunately not possible, but that won’t take away from the experience.

We follow a truly Japanese approach,our restaurant is a place for adults. Alcohol is served, the atmosphere is vibrant, the music is loud and energetic, and the evenings tend to go on a little longer.

For this reason, we don’t offer a dedicated children’s menu. However, we’re happy to adapt our regular menu for younger guests, we’ve had very good experiences with this in the past.

We’re happy to celebrate your special occasion with you.

However, we’re not the right venue for celebrations continuing past midnight. After a long working day, our team and we look forward to calling it a night, too. Please plan to raise your midnight toast at another venue.

Yes and no.

The Izakaya and the “old” Intense operate under different business structures. Even though they have the same owners, vouchers cannot be redeemed across the two restaurants.

All vouchers with a B in the number are not tied to a specific value. In this case, the person who gifted you the voucher is covering your bill. It would be great if you could clarify in advance what amount is being covered.

We don’t offer vouchers.

We’re going on holidays on:

at the 21st of December
