Autumn Bentō 2025
Anyone who knows us knows that we at SUSHIYA love bentō, the wonderful tradition of Japanese takeaway meals, which unfortunately is almost impossible to find in Munich—at least if you really value Japanese flavors and the highest quality ingredients. In the past, we have repeatedly tried all kinds of variations of […]

Once again, we had the opportunity to prepare special bentō boxes for discerning Japanese customers in Munich. Here is a brief explanation of the contents of this bentō box.

Japanese bentō boxes—when made by skilled hands—are truly little culinary treasure chests. It is often said that one of the unique characteristics of Japanese cuisine is that it is first enjoyed with the eyes and only then tasted with the tongue. In Japanese food culture, the tableware used plays an important role—and […]
