Our Japanese restaurant in Buxheim:
It is not only Japanese food which has a long tradition. The HIRO restaurant may not have been in Buxheim for that long, but it too looks back on many years of history and experience. Its tradition takes us back to the family of the owner, Shinko Wirz. Hospitality and serving traditional dishes is in her blood and she is proud to be able to continue the family tradition in Germany.
With her great-aunt for inspiration, running a restaurant is a matter of honour for Shinko whose priority is the wishes of her guests. Of importance here is a harmonious experience, in which service and atmosphere go hand in hand with food and drink in making the guests happy – and the HIRO restaurant claims to do nothing less than this.
Japanese food is something very special – indeed it was declared as a UNESCO world heritage in 2013. For the Japanese, eating is not just about taking in food, it is a true celebration. The most important element of when prparing Japanese food is to use fresh ingredients and a wide variety of exotic herbs and spices. Thus, simple foods become dishes to delight the palate of the most demanding connoisseur.
A special feature of the HIRO restaurant is that you can order main dishes and side dishes separately. That means that every guest can put together his own meal and, unlike we do in the west, choose exactly what he fancies. Japanese style elements give the comfortable furnishings an Asian flair and make it easy for guests to leave their everyday lives behind and concentrate on enjoying themselves for a few pleasant hours.
Of course, you need the right drinks to go with a good meal and good conversation. In Japan, going "out for a drink" is always accompanied by a meal, however small. One begins with beer and edamame, with sake there is then a variety of small side dishes and to go with shochu one usually finds a large spectrum of meal combinations. In this respect, the restaurant is very cosmopolitan and offers not only regional specialities form the Hofmühl brewery, but also a selection of German and Italian wines.
The owners of the HIRO restaurant aim to make it possible for people to experience the traditions of Japan here in Bavaria. For this reason, they do not just offer Japanese food, they also arrange special events such as cooking courses, Taiko (live music) and themed evenings such as our “kimono night” which go beyond the cuisine we offer. This makes your visit to the restaurant an unforgettable experience and you will have the opportunity to get to know the Japanese culture even better.
