Matsumi

Went to Hamburg Matsumi to eat Japanese food~ The eel rice was delicious, but the sushi and sashimi were just average~ How come Japanese restaurants are so bad~ The Japanese food in Shanghai is still better~😒 I won't come again next time

It's my second time to go to Matusmi. The first time I went there, I was confused for a long time. This time I mainly wanted to try the ramen and cold noodles that are only available in summer. I ordered a fried pork chop set as an appetizer. Who can blame me for not having fried chicken nuggets? The fried pork chop with sauce here is really delicious, and the noodles are particularly crispy! The cold noodles are chewy, with egg skin strips, bean sprouts, cucumbers and pork, sour soup sauce, overall it's okay. I remember the first time I ate Japanese cold noodles was when I was in Shanghai, the Japanese boss of Tianzifang opened Dan Coffee, the soup sauce rice was very easy to cut! The soup ramen is the same type of noodles as the Japanese cold noodles, and it obviously softened halfway through. The soup base of this restaurant is chicken, pork + vegetables, which is relatively fresh and not oily, but my friend suddenly said, "The noodles and wonton soup at Berlin Silly Girl Noodle House are fresher and better."... In general, it is still a relatively authentic Japanese restaurant in Hamburg.

Finally I had delicious eel rice in Hamburg! Eel rice! Eel rice! "Very satisfied, although it hurts my wallet. Una Ju: Eel rice set, the eel sauce is good, the eel is tender, but it is still a little far from being thick and mellow, but it is really not easy to eat more authentic eel rice in Hamburg. (So far, among the Japanese eels eaten in Europe, the only one that reaches this standard of being plump and melting in the mouth is probably Tokuyoshi in Milan. Although it is an Italian restaurant with Japanese style, the eel in the chef's set really surprised me.) On the menu, you can order eel alone for 23 euros, or eel with rice + soup + a large portion of kimchi for 33 euros. Tempura Tei: My friend had a tempura set meal, which started with a small portion of kimchi, followed by very ordinary Japanese chicken skewers, a light kelp soup, and a sashimi platter of good quality. The tempura batter was light and crispy, but a little over-fried, and a sesame ice cream to finish. I always felt that the order of serving the dishes was more Western, and the whole set meal was 56 euros. Gyu Amiyaki: Japanese grilled beef, a very tasteless dish, some of which were still tender, but most of which were dry/hard, which I considered a failure. Nigiri: I especially like tuna nigiri sushi, and chose the tuna belly one, which was really plump. The salmon and sea bass ones were both average, and the pickled mackerel one was a bit fishy.

The overall dishes have many advantages, so I won’t praise them one by one. I highly recommend everyone to check in at the store📍
