Japanese groceries in Ingolstadt

Japanese home cooking can begin with a compact pantry rather than a long specialist list. Rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, miso, nori and noodles cover many simple meals, while tofu, sesame oil, dashi ingredients and Japanese curry blocks extend the range. Specialist shops usually provide more noodle types, seasonings and frozen foods; supermarkets may be sufficient for common basics such as soy sauce and sushi rice.
