The MCK hospitality group is opening its first Osaka Nikkei restaurant in Europe, following the success of its other branches in Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Miami and Santiago de Chile.
Originally from Lima, the group has spent more than 20 years exploring the culinary dialogue between Japan and Peru. Now, it has come to Madrid’s Paseo de la Castellana to delight diners with its approach to Nikkei cuisine, serving nigiri and tiraditos alongside signature creations that reinterpret tradition, while also embracing local and Mediterranean produce.
Both the restaurant and its menu are organised around different experiences. The first begins at the Nikkei Bar / Raw Bar, where they serve oysters, razor clams, lobster, sashimi and tiraditos prepared to order. The Hiyashi Zensai section presents a selection of cold dishes such as Toro Tartare, bluefin tuna with black garlic and Ossetra caviar, and Wasabi Ceviche. There is no shortage of nigiri with Nikkei-style sauces and accents, as well as dishes designed for sharing, from woks to Japanese grill dishes. Other options reflect the more fusion-forward side of the menu, with rice dishes and plates such as Tumbo Shrimp (prawns in lulo hot sauce), Tako Anticucho (octopus with ají panca peppers), or Pisco Ribs (glazed with citrus honey).
Finally, at the Kero Bar, the Nikkei fusion is reflected in the incredible cocktail menu, giving classic drinks an original twist.
