Wow, this restaurant is really special. The flavors and textures of the sushi are amazing and very different from other sushi I have tried.

The chef’s counter

At the counter, facing the chef, the nigiri are flame-seared to order and served one by one. Guests who sit there describe it as omakase style, but with dishes from the menu rather than a set menu.

Second time coming here! The first was with a group of friends and I know with bigger groups the service can differ slightly but was still great and so was the food. For my second time I decided to bring my fiancé because he loves sushi and the food did not disappoint! Also our server Antony, as well as the other servers, was so nice, super helpful with recommendations, and just very attentive in general. Can’t wait to come back :)

Before you come

Which nigiri do you have?
Twelve on the menu: four from the chef — Nikkei tuna tataki, truffled scallop with caviar, Nikkei flame-seared salmon and wagyu A5 — and eight specials, such as the tuna belly, the tuna and caviar or the scallop and foie gras.
Is it Japanese or Nikkei sushi?
Nikkei: Japanese technique with Peruvian flavours. That is why there are nigiri with ají amarillo and acevichado maki and, as well as the sushi, ceviches and tiraditos.
Can we eat at the counter?
Yes. The counter faces the chef, and some guests come precisely for that. If you prefer it, tell us when you book.
Do I need to book?
It is the safest bet, especially for dinner and at weekends. Booking online takes less than a minute and you get the confirmation straight away.
How much does dinner cost?
Guía Repsol gives an average price of between €35 and €60 per person. The menu, with every price, is a little further up.
Where exactly are you?
