On September 5, there will be another unique opportunity for lovers of good Japanese cuisine:
Chef Riichiro Matsui again creates a Bentō for the Japanese Consulate General in Munich, which receives a high visit from Japan.
We take this as an opportunity to also offer a limited number of these special Japanese Bentō for our customers to order in the evening.
This bento is available for delivery or pickup only, the restaurant will be closed on September 5 due to the extensive bento production.
Don't miss this opportunity - a properly Japanese made Bentō, prepared by qualified chefs with love and high quality ingredients, is unfortunately an absolute rarity in Munich!

When it comes to fried dishes in Japan, in addition to tempura, the breaded and deep-fried "furai" (フライ) is also very popular as a staple in the Bentō. Tempura has been eaten in Japan since the Muromachi period (1333-1573) and is therefore a part of Japanese people's immediate culinary experience. However, deep-fried dishes are considered in Japan to be a "Yōshoku" (洋食) originally imported from the West, which originated after the Meiji period (1868-1912) when breading was introduced to Japan.
Breadcrumbs originally brought to Japan from the West were fine-grained cookies or dry bread, but the Japanese made their own breadcrumbs by crushing a loaf of bread and grinding it through a wire screen. Japanese breadcrumbs are unique because they have a light texture and contain no oil.

Bento feedback
We were honestly surprised by how many orders we got in a very short time for this Bentō as well.
In the end, such a Bentō box (yes, a Pleonasm From the customer's point of view, it's only like a larger main course. But if that costs about 80 euros, then it takes a lot to make the customer satisfied. Apparently, however, there are customers who understand that for such a Fukiyose-Bentō then not only a lot of different, high-quality material is needed - but above all a lot of working time to produce such a box in this quality and taste variety. We find the topic of Bentō super exciting and hope to be able to offer such specials for you more often in the future in completely different quality levels. And especially we thank the 30 customers who got hold of the Bentō this time for their trust and the great praise we received. Here are a few excerpts:
Customers especially praised the variety of tastes, have expressed pleasure that there was something very special to try.
Naturally, such a box can not reach the quality of a special event at sansaro directly on site. In this respect, one customer said that he would prefer our culinary Special Events would visit.
One customer was surprised by the sweet and sour taste in the first compartment, which he did not know from Japan in this way
We were also very pleased that our attention to detail was noticed and appreciated. Here are a few more quotes:
-
"Nigiri: all excellent, the variant with scallop superb, a poem!"
-
"Tempura: top quality! Very fine dough. The shrimp in crispy batter, like the with eel or mushroom"
-
"a successful delicious surprise: the little things, some crunchy, some crispy, whose true nature was revealed only after eating."
-
"the small sake sample (3 bottles) not only went very well with the food, it (unfortunately) makes you want more. (...) the insanely good desert with the insanely good matcha syrup. A dream."
