Since moving to Germany Hubs and I have been having some serious Japanese food withdrawals namely sushi! Living in San Francisco complete with it's very own Japantown with a plethera of Japanese restaurants to choose from seriously spoiled us! We haven't had any luck with the Japanese restaurants around us so I decided to do a little Google research and found that there was a place in Nuremburg that had great reviews.
Nuremburg is roughly an hour and a half from where we live right now (3 hours roundtrip!) so it's definitely quite a hike for us. *sigh* The things I will do (and make hubby do) for good food hahah!
They started dinner off with some wet towels.. that weren't hot sadly (umm.. hello they're called hot towels for a reason!!).. and some bean sprouts.. the bean sprouts needed more seasame oil.
 |
| Seaweed Salad |
I was disappointed by the opening but our seaweed salad app was SO NOMMY. Hubs and I were fighting over this dish.. he kept sliding it over to his side of the table and I kept sliding it back. Next time we go back we're ordering one for each of us. Bonus points for the awesome and adorable presentation! A carrot cherry blossom! ADORBS!
 |
| Shrimp & Vegetable Tempera |
This was quite tasty the batter was light and crisp and the veggies were delish! The mushrooms they used for this dish were out of this world.. but if you look closely you will see that the shrimp (and there was sadly only 1 shrimp!) is curled up.. not flat like it's suppose to be :( I don't know if it's a mental thing or what but my Tempera craving has sadly not been satisfied! hahaha.
 |
| Buckwheat Soba |
Needed more flavoring the soup was too bland although the veggies look so pretty in this pic right?? hahaha
 |
| Negitoro, Ebi, Avocado & Cucumber, Unagi & Cucumber, Lobster, Unagi & Cream Cheese |
The real reason we made the hike!
SUSHI!!!
Truth be told the rest of the meal was just OK. The Sushi however was DELISH! Hubby and I have already agreed the next time we come back we're just gonna do Sushi and only Sushi. I finally got my Unagi fix (HUZZAH!), and the lobster was very clean and sweet tasting. The Hubs said that his Negitoro roll was the BEST Negitoro he's had in his entire life and that it was buttery and smooth.
I think I'm starting to salivate as I type this!
If you're ever in Nuremburg I def recommend this place but go for the Seaweed Salad & Sushi! :)
I like how you put together your ideas in this blog.

the sushi and salad does look splendid! glad that they have great sushi up in germany!
ReplyDeleteI bet it is so hard to come from SF where the sushi is ridiculously good! But I love your determination to find a good place wherever you are!! Glad you got your fix girl...xo
ReplyDeleteyay for great sushi in germany!
ReplyDeleteseaweed salad is like crack!
Aww you moved to Germany?! Don't worry, you're closer to me now *wink*
ReplyDeleteHope life in Germany is treating you well, do you speak German? A good thing about Germany (well when i went anyways) is that they all speak English!
I can't believe your hubby drove 3hours to eat sushi with you, that is the sweetest thing ever! When I saw the tiny salmon on top of your salad I was like "erm..." but after reading your post the salad sounds delish! Lol i love how you fought over it, so cute!!
Hope you are well my dear! <3 xX
Hahahahaha you may be salivating as you write this but we're salivating as we read this (and secretly bookmark it to come back and drool tomorrow and the next day as well...). Can't wait for your shoe family post!! Anticipating more drooling hahahahah
ReplyDeleteOh, sushi!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, you're making me crave sushi! But I'm stuck at home studying and vowed not to leave my house, haha.
ReplyDelete3 hour round trip is such a commitment, but totally something I would do.. I would do so many crazy things for good food! Glad you enjoyed it :)
oh man, now i want sushi!
ReplyDeleteBeing from Vancouver, I seriously can't imagine living in a place where there isn't sushi on every corner. Glad you got your fix :)
ReplyDeletexo, alison*elle
Ooo you're coming to London!!! You'll have so much fun, Christmas is a great time to visit, although there will be overcrowding but that's practically everyday!! Public transport will be a pain, you have been warned!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I feel so amateur recommending food to you because you always eat amazing stuff!! Ok here it goes!
Student friendly places are Hare & Tortoise which is Japanese and they have various dishes and sushi. There is one located in Blackfriar's. Bibimbap in Soho is really nice, they specialise in Korean Bibimbap and it's a cute little place hidden in Soho!
Slightly nicer places:
Dim T by London Bridge has nice food and AMAZING deserts, the view is very romantic, you can see Tower bridge from the windows!
There's also Mint Leaf, Mr Chow (Knightsbridge, Chinese food), Jamie Oliver's Italian is quite good...
High tea in the Mill bank tower is lovely, or at the Ritz!
That's all I can come up with for now, but you can always find a place to eat in London :) I'm so excited for you! Just email me if you have any questions and stuff! A good website to check travel in London is Transport for London (TFL) by the way, you can plan you journey routes with it, so useful! Hope this was slightly useful to you! :)
Oh and I'm glad you liked my Dermalogica review! xX <3
Yah, the bean sprouts don't look that appetizing but everything else does!! That salad is too pretty to eat. Haha, glad you found a sushi place. :D
ReplyDeleteYou should go to a fresh fish market and try to make your own sushi. That's what I do with my dad and it's super easy! ^^
ReplyDeleteI like the presentation of all the food, especially the seaweed salad!
I love sushi so much! My fiance and I could eat it every day. We even tried making our own a few weeks ago...it was a fail though! Anyways, this makes me super hungry!
ReplyDeleteThree hours for sushi?!? Haha. Well, I would do the exact same thing!! Now, I'm craving it :)
ReplyDeleteLooks good :) I miss the sushi restaurants in the DC/MD area when I'm in Germany.. do you guys have a Bento Box near you? The sushi rolls there are pretty good, my husband loves the fried tempura rolls, and the ambiance is kinda cute in the evenings. How were the prices?
ReplyDeletewoohoo! yay for japanese food,especially sushi :D
ReplyDeletealways good to find great places when in a foreign place.
ReplyDeletethe salad is so pretty, omg craving sushi now!
Geez, from San Fran to Germany? To me, that must feel like moving to Mars or something. O_o
ReplyDeleteThere's a little Japanese town in downtown LA called "Lil' Tokyo" and I've always had that fear of never being able to experience the wonders and joys of eating at places in Lil' Tokyo, ever again, because of moving somewhere far from it.
Thank you for reconfirming that fear. D=
glad you found a sushi place. Is there a place closer to where you live? Have you ever thought about giving them some pointers, esp about the rolled up shrimp. (:
ReplyDeleteFood envy!! lol
ReplyDeleteEven though i eat before i read your blog my stomach always finds a way to growl! LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks delish! My stomach is literally growling!
ReplyDeleteyou have influenced me to eat japanese food for dinner hahaha! xD at least the sushi was delicious! ^-^ everything looks good though haha! if you didn't say it was ok, i wouldn't suspect that they weren't as yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteyummy!!!! the sushi actually looks very delicious & authentic, esp the handroll. happy to hear u guys finally have a spot to fulfill your sushi cravings...even if it's a 3hr drive round trip lol
ReplyDeleteAhh, I totally understand why you would miss sushi~! Glad you two were able to get your fill. :D Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm salivating while typing these! OM!
ReplyDeleteLe sigh I know that feeling all to well of not having access to places that use to be always readily available but on another note glad you got your fix.
ReplyDeleteShoot if it was a 3 hour roundtrip it better be worth it and glad it did! Now I want some sushi.
