"We visited this Japanese/fusion restaurant for lunch to try blue-fin tuna at its best. Menu was by QR code and consisted of pictures grouped by dishes ie. Sashimi, ceviche etc. Which is helpful if you are not familiar with Japanese dishes. We chose sashimi to start, with 3 different types of tuna cuts, red, slightly fatty and fatty. The menu uses Japanese words for the cuts instead of Spanish, so ventresca is otoro etc. it would be useful if they also used Spanish words for the cuts then we would have had a better idea of what we were ordering. Portion sizes in full or half size are great, as is menu transparency showing portion weight in grams and what cut of tuna is used in each dish. We then chose 2 tuna tartare dishes, one traditional and one ‘spicy’ both were excellent, and even the picante one had well balanced flavours that still allowed the tuna to be the star. We then chose fresh and zingy tuna ceviche, white truffle and tuna nigiri, and tuna and pancetta nigiri, although both non-traditional nigiri the flavours worked really well together. Our only non-tuna dish and cooked dish was vegetable and langostine tempura, which had a lovely light crisp batter. We were really impressed with our meal here, and definitely can’t wait to come back, we will have to brush up on our Japanese and chopstick skills in the meantime!"
