Washoku means “Japanese gastronomy” and refers to Japanese food prepared in a traditional style, both for its ingredients, as for the way it’s cooked. It is characterized by the use of condiments and ingredients that are fresh, natural and original. It is renowned as a healthy way of eating, not only because it’s low calorie, but also because it is a nutritious and well balanced diet.
In 2013, Washoku took fifthplace on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, right after other cuisines more associated with Western Culture, such as the Mediterranean and the Mexican cuisine. Today there are over 118,000 Japanese restaurants outside of Japan but most tend to cater more to foreign tastes or offer an Americanized menu rather than authentic Japanese cuisine.
To experience authentic Japanese cuisine, you don’t need to travel to the other side of the globe or spend a lot of money. At Kabuki, just a block away from La Antigua’s central park, you will find mouth-watering traditional Japanese in a charming and relaxed atmosphere, almost as if you were in Japan.
Run by a skilled Japanese chef, Kabuki adheres to the highest standards and satisfies the most demanding palates with its extensive variety and use of traditional ingredients in the menu.
For those of you looking for a delightful, out of the ordinary experience, try Kabuki – the ideal place to try something new right in the heart of La Antigua.
