Finally, we can respond more to the season in the sansaro restaurant and always offer our guests new menus - with the Menu 2024 we have taken a big step in a direction that brings us closer to our vision of seasonal, varied Japanese cuisine in Munich, always using the best ingredients and a lot of manual labor.
After the first menu in January and then the second menu "Keichitsu" has won many fans with its fantastic scallops, it is now time for a new menu.
Rikka - the summer begins
As always, the Japanese calendar offers us beautiful, lyrical descriptions of this time of year. In Japan, the peonies are already in bloom and the frogs are beginning to sing and the bamboo to sproutThe beginning of summer can be felt before it gets really hot. Nature is beginning to give us its bounty again. And of course, we are once again offering a special five-course menu to make it simple and tasty for our guests. This time, however, there are also some à la carte dishes that you can choose from when you choose your Sushi or want to choose your own starters.

Dessert - Warabi Mochi
For dessert, another classic Japanese mochi, in June we serve a warabi mochi, which the Japanese love in summer.
Warabi mochi is a traditional Japanese dessert that impresses with its unique texture and delicate taste. This refreshing and slightly sweet dessert is particularly popular in summer.
History of Warabi-Mochi
Warabi mochi has its origins in the Heian period (794-1185) and was already a popular dessert back then. It is said that Emperor Daigo was a great lover of this classic sweet, which underlines its popularity in this era. Warabi mochi was originally considered a luxury item.
Taste and texture of warabi mochi
Warabi mochi is characterized by its soft, almost gel-like texture. The taste is subtle and slightly sweet, which makes it an ideal base for various toppings such as kinako (roasted soybean flour) or kuromitsu (black sugar syrup).
Today's use as a summer dessert
In modern Japanese culture, warabi mochi has remained a popular summer dessert. Its refreshing and cooling mouthfeel makes it especially popular on hot days. It is often sold in traditional candy stores, at summer festivals and in teahouses.
Served with an accompanying Japanese tea.

In keeping with the warmer temperatures, we have been opening the small terrace in front of our house in the evenings. Now deeply ingrown with the Japanese maples that we planted and care for in the Amalienpassage, it has become a beautiful place. If the temperatures become more stable, we will also open the large terrace - this is now the case from June 18, 2024. Depending on the weather, we will then automatically reserve a seat inside and outside for you.
