According to German publication, Bild, the two customers left the restaurant without paying after an intense argument.
That appeared to be the end of the incident, however, later that night the Japanese chef met the pair again at a local table dancing bar, and their argument continued and escalated.
A fight is said to have ensued and the chef took a blow to the head. He was rushed to the hospital but died after suffering brain injuries and internal bleeding.
The chef was known to be a specialist in Japanese-Italian fusion food.
