The Costa del Sol has an extraordinary gastronomic offer and there is place for all kinds of culinary delights. One of them, the fantastic Japanese cuisine, is represented in the province of Malaga at an authentic gastronomic temple: Kabuki Raw Restaurant, located in the luxury resort Finca Cortesin, in the village of Casares.
Boasting four Michelin stars, the Kabuki restaurants have solidified its position in Spain. Their gastronomical offer is true to the purest Japanese tradition, but enriched with formidable Mediterranean influences. The chef Ricardo Sanz, founder of Kabuki cuisine has given all his creations a single thread, a cuisine where there is always an undisputed protagonist: the product, treated with absolute respect, maximum precision and great simplicity.
The product is the star
Kabuki Raw understand cooking as an art, a true staging. You can see this concept from the start: its name ("Kabuki") refers to the famous Japanese theatre of ancestral origins. The experience that Kabuki Raw offers is beyond gastronomical and gets more close to an artistic dimensión. A dining experience, of course, but also an aesthetic one.
The organisation of the space at the restaurant is also important for customers to witness an elegant and multisensory spectacle. The kitchen becomes a kind of stage where chefs minutely interpret the different dishes that come to your table.
The emblematic Kabuki specialities are present in the establishment of Finca Cortesin, but the gastronomic tour that you will take in Kabuki Raw has also a place of honour for the sublime products of Andalusia and the Costa del Sol. Local fish and vegetables grown in the restaurant's own garden are a guarantee of the highest levels of quality, based on sustainable and organic production.
Thus, besides the extraordinary nigiri, sashimi and futomaki, you can also try elaborations that fuse both culinary cultures, such as the usuzukuri of urta and adobo (sea delights deep-rooted in Andalusia), migas with sardines (revamped version of a classic of the local cuisine) or its interpretation of bocata de calamar (squid sandwich, famous snack in Spanish bars). And of course, the local product is exalted in dishes like the tasting of tuna fish or the magnificent ortiguillas tempura. All this has made the restaurant Kabuki Raw fair winner of a star in the Michelin Guide and two suns in the Repsol Guide.
