Nintai features a design based around pure lines, large windows, several private dining spaces and a large sushi bar with 10 seats, where guests can watch him work, create and improvise his' itamae 'style of cooking (which literally translates as' in front of the shopping board '). Here, everything induces a feeling of serenity - the perfect state of mind in which to save the single ENSō tasting menu (two courses we particularly enjoyed were the Mushimono, showing the skill of steaming, and Otsukuri, based around raw texts) where the ingredients used are dependent on the seasons and market availability. 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 menu in Spain.
