HUgit | Asahi Sushi – I recently went to Asahi Sushi, which I found on HUGit – and now I want to tell you more about it because sushi is simply amazing and HUGit is really helpful. So, let me start from the beginning: A while ago, I had a craving for sushi, as I often do. So, unlike usual, I decided to do a little research online to see where I could find good sushi in Munich. Nothing really appealed to me, and in the end, since I'd wasted too much time searching, I stayed home and ordered from my trusted sushi guy again ;-). The next day, I met up with a friend, and we got onto the topic of food – as usual with me 😉 – and I told him about the sushi I'd had the night before. My friend then told me about a relatively new online portal that makes it easy to get genuine tips from all sorts of different areas of life. The special thing about it: Only real tips, from real people who have been selected and invited by their own friends to join the HUGit portal – a so-called invite-only platform. I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to take a closer look, so I browsed around the site that same evening.
You can only become a member here if a friend thinks you have some great tips and should share them with the HUGit community. Since, as you know, my life revolves around eating, testing, writing, and sleeping, I was naturally tempted to find some new and interesting places. 🙂 To become a "Hugger," you register after being accepted, log in, and can then share your tips, create lists, and share your collected or published "Hugs." The portal offers truly (!) useful information on all things related to food, gastronomy, restaurants, health, sports, hobbies, travel, and more. Not everyone just posts anything here; tips that you'd normally only share with friends over a good meal—like sushi 😉—go directly into the HUGit pool. You wouldn't tell your friends everything unfiltered, would you? (…well…;-))… but only what's worthwhile—and that's exactly how HUGit works. Give tips, get tips, collect tips, and try them out. Which brings us back to my sushi, because it wasn't long before my next sushi attack.
I looked around a bit and quickly found all sorts of lists. I entered "sushi" into the search bar and was immediately shown a variety of sushi restaurants in Munich, all of which had been rated highly by "Huggers." After a while, when I looked at my own profile, I understood that you can collect the websites you feature on HUGit either publicly or privately in your own lists. Giving a "Hug" to a website, list, restaurant, etc., shows that you like the site, think the restaurant is good, or find the featured places great – it's really quite simple.
So…back to the sushi…I was browsing the sushi list, clicking around, comparing Hugs, and finally decided on "Asahi Sushi," part of the Asahi Group, which operates three different sushi restaurants in Munich, Freising, and Ottobrunn. The "Asahi – Running Sushi & Bar" on Leopoldstrasse was recommended to me on the HUGit platform. Since I was in the mood for Schwabing and a bit of hustle and bustle, I decided to give the HUGit tip a try and headed there. The restaurant is quite well-known, popular, and, not surprisingly, packed every day. This was also the case during my visit. I called at short notice before my visit and was told on the phone that I could have my coveted spot right by the sushi conveyor belt for "only" one hour, and I was shown there immediately upon entering. The sushi conveyor belt is the central feature of the restaurant. It's surrounded by tables, with only a few more by the window or outside along the building's facade. Of course, my companion and I were there, and we both opted for the running sushi (18.90€ per person). We could have ordered from the menu, but according to HUGit, the running sushi was fantastic. So, off we went. We ordered mango juice spritzers and water (3.50€/2.30€) and started enjoying the sushi.
The variety of different sushi options is incredible. I actually ate for almost an entire hour without a break – yes, I'm ashamed to admit it – and didn't eat the same thing twice. My companion did too, including a few duplicates. 😉 It tastes excellent, although the rolls aren't particularly neat or lovingly crafted (e.g., the inside-out maki), but everything tastes absolutely perfect. Whether it's the typical spinach and sesame salad, inside-out maki, spring rolls, battered shrimp, marinated mushrooms with sesame seeds, glass noodle salad, seaweed, or other Asian appetizers: fantastic and consistently delicious. Okay, admittedly, I ate two bowls of the spinach and sesame salad, and at the end, I also had two small bowls of rice pudding with red berry compote. (Müller rice pudding. 😉 We watched as the Asian lady tipped it from the small, standard cups into porcelain bowls and drizzled ready-made red berry compote on top.) The conveyor belt sushi is exceptionally extensive, and even after we paid €46 including tip and left, new delicacies like ice cream, mini cakes, noodles with beef, and more were still coming along. Of course, you can eat sushi cheaper—and less stressful—but then you usually only have a maximum of 3-4 of the same types to choose from. Here, you can eat until you're stuffed for just under €19. The empty bowls are constantly being cleared away, so you don't get that embarrassing feeling of "Oh my god, did I really eat 45 plates?" 🙂
On the one hand, I want to encourage you to try Asahi Sushi – reservations are a must – and on the other hand, I want you to check out HUGit. Sure, I could have strolled along Leopoldstrasse and discovered the great sushi place myself. But thanks to HUGit, I found it (and also got lots of other new tips I'm going to try). Check it out and look me up if you're a community member. In that case – two hugs from me: one for the sushi, and one for HUGit. 🙂
I'm using HUGit again: Yes.
I'll be back: Yes. Ideal for conveyor belt sushi.
