Because good food should not just fill you up, but above all make you happy.

5 SUSHIYA Together with a few brave friends, the former Japanology student Alexander Reinelt founded SUSHIYA as a Munich-based company in In the SANSARO restaurant, Alexander and his team have been presenting to you an authentic interpretation of Japanese cuisine since QUALITY It has always been our mission to use high-quality ingredients that are organically sourced whenever possible and experienced chefs before and behind the scenes. Our salmon is always Label Rouge, a seal of approval for quality and humane animal farming. Our beef comes from John Stone in Ireland, who are known for their top quality, both in breeding and taste. As is customary in Japan, we serve a soy sauce matched by our chefs to our sushi & sashimi. As the basis for our house blend, we use an organic soy sauce made in Japan using traditional methods.
