Umiko

After working for Ricardo Sanz at his Kabuki empire, Juan Alcaide and Pablo Álvaro opened this Japanese fusion restaurant in the center of Madrid. The duo do their best to blend Asian flavors with Spanish ingredients; two examples: a nigiri that combine Koshihikari rice and a Valencian-style soccarat crust topped with white shrimp from Huelva or red tuna from the coast of Tarifa that is paired with Thai red curry and rice from Toyama. They offer three omakases at 60, 80 and 100 euros.
