Nintai in Marbella: Japanese Dining at a Star Level

Craving sushi where every bite is a work of art? Then Nintai is the place to be. This Japanese restaurant in Marbella is the brainchild of top sommelier Marcos Granda, who, after an inspiring trip to Japan, translated his passion for pure flavors into an elegant dining experience. No rush, no frills—just precision, serenity, and exceptional dishes.

12 Seats, Endless Finesse

The focal point of the restaurant is its intimate sushi bar with just 12 seats. Here, you can watch Marcos and his team work live, perfecting their "itamae" style. There’s no menu full of choices—only carefully crafted tasting menus, like the Nintai Menu and Omakase (lunch only). Each dish is a mini masterpiece, attuned to the season and served with Zen-like calm.

Minimalist with Character

Inside, the interior is sleek yet warm. Wooden accents, soft lighting, and large windows create a soothing atmosphere. Private rooms are also available for those who want to enjoy their meal in total silence. Every detail—from the crockery to the layout—is thoughtfully chosen so nothing distracts from what’s on your plate.

Sake You’ll Remember

A sake lover? You’re in for a treat. Nintai boasts one of Spain’s finest sake menus. The selection is carefully curated and expertly explained. Even if you've never tried sake before, you'll be seamlessly guided into the rich world of Japanese rice wine.

Desserts with a Twist

While many Japanese restaurants skip dessert, Nintai makes a surprising move. Think elegant sweets with subtle Japanese influences, like miso-caramel or yuzu foam. Light, refined, and far from standard. Your taste buds will be pampered all the way to the end.
