Our philosophy

Where the Empordà meets Japan

With the sea and its catch right at hand, the meeting of the Empordà and Japan wasn’t ours to decide — it was bound to happen. We only bring respect and honesty, in no hurry, letting freshness lead.

The produce we choose

  • Palamós prawn
  • Rice from the Estany de Pals
  • Balfegó tuna

The menu

Let your senses lead the way

Starters, sashimi, nigiri, maki and a sweet treat or two. It all goes in the middle of the table.

And to drink? Drinks menu

Meet our chef, Marc

Can Kai was born in 2015 from the hands of Marc Silvestre, a second-generation restaurateur. After a spell at Dos Palillos in Berlin, he opened the house with one idea: to bring Japanese cooking to the Costa Brava.
