Shared roots. Shared values.

Anton Schmaus and Zwiesel Glas are linked by far more than a passion for fine dining. Both have their roots in the Bavarian Forest and stand for craftsmanship, quality and the ambition to turn regional tradition into international excellence.
As a Michelin-starred chef and chef to the German national football team, Anton Schmaus brings his expertise from Michelin-starred cuisine to the grand stage of international sport. At his restaurant Storstad in Regensburg, he has relied on Zwiesel Glas glasses for many years. 
What unites us is the journey from a home steeped in tradition out into the world: whilst Anton Schmaus shapes haute cuisine at the very highest level, Zwiesel Glas glasses are used in the finest restaurants and hotels worldwide. 
Together, we take a look behind the scenes of the national team’s kitchen and showcase two dishes that Anton Schmaus prepares for the players. We also serve two matching drinks in selected glasses from Zwiesel Glas – for a real World Cup atmosphere at home.

Alcohol-free refreshment for the summer
Genmaicha Kombucha

To mark the World Cup, Moritz from Restaurant Storstad presents a refreshing non-alcoholic alternative to the usual drinks enjoyed whilst watching football together. 

The star of the show is a Genmaicha kombucha, made from roasted rice and green tea from Japan. The combination of subtle roasted notes, delicate sweetness and lively freshness makes it the ideal drink for warm summer days. 

The kombucha is served in the aroma glass from the non-alcoholic Début glass series by Zwiesel Glas. Developed specifically for non-alcoholic drinks, the series allows the flavours to develop to their full potential and ensures a truly special drinking experience.

A modern, non-alcoholic alternative – refreshing, versatile and perfect for social occasions.

No Genmaicha Kombucha on Hand?

For those who would like to recreate the drink at home, there’s a simple alternative: a homemade Sparkling Tea made with green tea, ginger, and apple. The combination of delicate tea aromas, subtle sweetness, fresh spice, and lively effervescence reflects the modern world of alcohol-free beverages.

Ingredients

  • 2 green tea bags
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 slice fresh ginger
  • 100 ml cloudy apple juice
  • 200 ml sparkling mineral water
  • Ice cubes

Preparation

Brew the green tea and allow the honey and ginger to infuse while the tea is still warm. Let it cool completely. Pour over ice in a glass, top with sparkling mineral water, and finish with a splash of cloudy apple juice.

The result is a refreshing, lightly sparkling drink with delicate notes of tea, fruit, and spice—inspired by a new generation of alcohol-free beverages where aroma, balance, and complexity take center stage.


From the Kitchen of Anton Schmaus
Asparagus in Three Variations

Asparagus has always been one of Anton Schmaus' personal favorites. The versatile vegetable is also a regular feature in the kitchen of the German national football team. There is one interesting detail, however: due to its natural dehydrating properties, asparagus is typically served after a match rather than before.

In this recipe, Anton Schmaus presents three different ways to prepare asparagus, showcasing its versatility:

  • Boiled asparagus with tomato, egg, parsley and tarragon vinaigrette
  • Crispy breaded asparagus with Bozner sauce
  • Grilled asparagus with Hollandaise sauce

Recipe Card

Ingredients for the Asparagus

  • 1 kg white asparagus
  • Asparagus peels and trimmings
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Salt

Preparing the Asparagus

Simmer the asparagus peels and trimmings in water for approximately 30 minutes to create a flavorful asparagus stock. Remove the peels and trimmings. Add butter, salt and a pinch of sugar to the stock. Cook the peeled asparagus until tender while retaining a slight bite.


Ingredients for the Tomato and Egg Vinaigrette

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp tarragon, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper

Preparing the Vinaigrette
Briefly blanch the tomatoes, peel them and dice them finely. Finely dice the hard-boiled eggs as well. Add the parsley and tarragon, then combine with olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
