[ Mutterland ] the corner deli-shop, hamburg, Germany.

位於德國第二大城 Hamburg, near St. Georg neighborhood 出現了新式 Deli-shop Concept, 以賣德國”當地農產品”與”有機食物”為主, 也賣一些簡單輕食, 結合傳統市場的概念與現代設計, 水泥地與大白瓷磚使用, 也可以很有品味很美麗, 是我最喜歡的風格. 你可以說它像是德國的 Dean & Deluca, 但我覺得它比 Dean & Deluca 再少了些商業感, 多了份人的氣息, 有如來到巷口市場, 傳統中也帶品味. 想像如果我們的傳統市場也可如此乾淨, 我們就可以有風格的好好吃一碗米粉湯配上油豆腐. 那有多好, 加油！台灣！

Mutterland (in Dutch), Mother Country (in English), the corner shop goes chic in hamburg Germany. Mutterland is located around the corner from the main train station. The 5m-high room is equipped with a shelving system that reminds you of grey-painted fruit cases, a large front window that lets in lots of light, and an approx. 12m-long tiled bar featuring an assortment of sweets.

At the front of the shop, Jan Schawe offers fresh meals, salads and sandwiches as well as yogurt, German curd and granola dishes. You’ll also find the mandatory coffee-to-go and fresh juices.

And like the corner shops of the past, here you’ll also find homemade marmalades. The shop features renowned brands such as chocolate by Most, baked goods from Effenberger and Springer organic bakeries, wine from vineyard Prinz von Hessen, spices from Alfons Schuhbeck and smoothies from Ehrlich Trinken. Schawe also has venison pâté and biscuits from Fürsten von Schaumburg-Lippe in stock.
