Ignacio Bravo and Uriel Hendler are two young chefs. Ignacio specializes in grilled meats and is the owner of a barbecue catering, while Uriel is a sushi expert and owner of Kanu Sushi and Let it V. In addition to being chefs, they are also friends, and they decided to combine their knowledge to create a super-innovative proposal.
So it is born Najuri Urinakia restaurant that invites you to put aside prejudices and surrender to the omakase service through a seven-course menu with a original combination of sushi with meat. In this cozy place, with comfortable tables and chairs made of delicate Guayubira wood and an impressive bar, each cut is grilled and then integrated with sushi-style rice.
Of course, no decision is made lightly here: the creators of this place suitable for 25 guests traveled together to Japan in order to internalize flavors and techniques and be able to provide a consolidated service. After several trials and tests of combinations between grass-fed meat and sushi rice, they managed to find the correct pieces, which are made with cuts of grass-fed meat carefully selected for each preparation. The menu items change sporadically, fusing Nikkei techniques with top-quality Angus and Hereford grass-fed meats.
Nowadays, the tour begins with a “surf and turf” empanita, filled with braised roast beef with squid and a huacatay sauce. The next steps are a crispy blood sausage on sushi rice, a tataki of chorizo steak with aioli, merkén and furikake, followed by a roll of furai prawn and avocado, topped with gizzard tartar, scallop and flambéed parmesan cheese. Then, continue with a trio of niguiris of entrails, gizzards and rib eye. As a last step, they offer a Gizzard Gunkan with quail egg and it ends with a Nikkei Lima Suspiro for dessert. The complete experience costs $35,000 and includes a non-alcoholic drink and a cocktail per person.
To accompany the dishes, Nakuri Urinaki has a signature cocktail menu, designed by bartender Ailén Álvarez, which includes creations such as Tintorela Sour (red wine, white rum, plum, vanilla, lemon and simple syrup), El Viejo (bourbon , golden rum, cinnamon, vanilla and nutty perfume) or Eva (tequila, apple juice, cinnamon, honey, ginger and soda), among others. In addition, the menu offers classic cocktails, such as Negroni, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Pisco Sour, Penicillin, Americano and Tom Collins.
