SEEN Restaurant
Maxvorstadt
Chef Jianguo Zhang's Sichuan fine dining; Munich's first serious Chinese room.
Tatami sushi and seasonal kaiseki tucked inside the Amalienpassage.
Sansaro, the name means three-way crossing, is the most considered Japanese room in Munich outside of the hotel circuit, hidden in the Adalberthof courtyard of the Amalienpassage off Türkenstraße. Open since 2006 and Michelin-recognised since 2024, the kitchen runs proper sushi and sashimi alongside a seasonal multi-course Journey to Japan menu (five to seven courses, changes with each season). The room offers tatami seating where you sit shoeless on rice-straw mats, plus standard tables and a small terrace under Japanese fan maples in summer. Organic-certified, restrained, and entirely free of the all-you-can-eat sushi tier that plagues much of Munich's Japanese scene.
Ask for tatami if you want the full experience, you eat shoeless, low to the ground, the way the room was designed. Book the seasonal Journey to Japan menu (March-May spring edition is currently running) over à la carte; it's where the kitchen shows what it can do. Walk into the courtyard from Amalienstraße, the entrance is easy to miss.
