Another culinary project courtesy of renowned sommelier Marcos Granda, who returned from Japan at the end of 2019 astonished by its culture and the country’s respect for the finest ingredients – a revelation which led to the development of this new project. Nintai features a design based around pure lines, large windows, several private dining spaces and a large sushi bar with 12 seats, where guests can watch him work, create and improvise his “itamae” style of cooking. Here, everything induces a feeling of serenity – the perfect state of mind in which to savour two tasting menus of different lengths that vary according to the best ingredients available on the day: Zen (midweek lunch only), and ENSō (we loved the Shiizakana course, which includes Wagyu A5 beef). Other highlights include the large cuts of tuna that are sliced in front of guests. Given that this is a Japanese restaurant, the desserts come as something of a surprise, plus Nintai also offers one of the best sake menus in Spain.
