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.
