Covering Letter In A Beauty

Kabuki (Madrid)

Fashion Japanese restaurants is relatively recent in Madrid. Au remember that time, not so long ago, when almost the only Japanese quality in the capital was Suntory. But that's not the case, and there are several Japanese restaurants that deserve our attention. Of these, Kabuki is uniquely placed, having become one of the best places to eat around the capital, from the restaurants of any cuisine. And we just now reviewed the situation of Kabuki after the opening of its new premises in the Wellington Hotel on Calle Velázquez. Ricardo Sanz, alma mater of Kabuki, has left the leadership of the eldest house, moving to address the new location, leaving his pupil, Mario Payan, in front of the premises, with the invaluable support of Chelsea running flawlessly the room.

best in the house is placed in the hands of the sushi man. Something that now Mario can do, but not before Ricardo, as this meant a final score layer. But Mario is one of those professionals who are not. Serious, focused on his work, very regular, and also lovely.

On Wednesday we enjoyed a great party. We started with a bull tartar eels, exquisite. We continue with another treat, this time of spicy tuna. Exceptional. Then usuzukuri truffle.

Very rich nigiri kobe burger, and also the Hedgehog (although a bit strong for those who do not like too much the hedgehog). The cones, specialty of the house, were represented with some tuna temaki exceptional.

Another delicacy is the butterfish, in the form of nigiri with truffles. What a pity it is so difficult to find fish. The quail egg nigiri, with truffles, are another mark of the house that we should not try. Exquisite red shrimp, very tasty.

also tested two different futomakis, a fungus, and other crunchy eel that we never tire of eating. What a delight! The eel is again present in the form of nigiri, also very tasty, but much more surprising as futomaki.

The star arrived with four quail egg maki topped with Beluga caviar 000. The caviar in abundance, very cool. The combination unbeatable!

Finally, a kobe beef tenderloin fillet and little Indeed, it was delicious.

desserts just renewed, and for lovers of chocolate worth checking out the new chocolate (citrus, hazelnut, green tea, etc.).

room service, the best of Madrid. The final bill will depend largely on what is ordered. The maki of caviar and Kobe almost doubled the account, so you depend on consumer tastes.

In any case, we emphasize, one of the best addresses in Madrid. Always gets happy. Do not want to end without thanking Mario effort. Not only has he managed to Kabuki change is not affected by Ricardo Sanz the new location, but in my humble opinion, now eat even better. Congratulations Mario!

One final note, yesterday I repeat, on the occasion of Puente, Mario was on vacation. I would say the opposite, but unfortunately missed his presence. The dishes arrived worst of temperature, rice (the great secret of Kabuki) was not as perfect as we are accustomed, and quail eggs something greasy. Thankfully, Mario did not usually leave too ...
