Japanese gastronomy is one of the main reasons to travel to the Far East to taste and explore it. But since you’ll be visiting or are in Athens, seize the opportunity to enjoy new flavors, aromas and images in the authentic cuisine of NAMI and indulge in the journey.
NAMI, a warm space that combines modern design with strong traditional Japanese elements, is located since 2017 in the heart of Glyfada, on the most ethnic crowded street, namely Kyprou.
Alexis Angelidis, Director of Product & Design Innovation at AKTO, inspirer and creator of NAMI, wanted to combine his passion and deep knowledge of design both in the space and in the dishes of his restaurant. After all, aesthetics is a very important element of Japanese cuisine and the culture of this country in general.
NAMI dishes, curated by head chef Sarantis Liosatos, are based on excellent raw materials and are constantly evolving both in terms of taste and presentation, in order to be small works of art, perfectly executed with the aim of expanding your gastronomic horizons.
The sauces, broths and all kinds of dumplings and gyoza are handmade and prepared in the restaurant as well as the special sweets of NAMI.
At NAMI you will taste Signature rolls, such as White Dragon, with scorched sea bass, avocado, coriander oil and wasabimayo or Fire Dragon with extra spicy tuna and green apple but also classics, such as salmonteriyaki and nigiri with fresh fish of the day.
The menu has additional suggestions with wagyu beef (Japanese beef) that is either accompanied by traditional wheat noodles (udon) or takes the form of a wagyu picanha that is baked and served on a cast iron.
The unforgettable experience of exploring the Japanese food culture is enhanced with wonderful and special cool cocktails by Alex Hill Triantafyllou (executive bartender), based on Japanese alcoholic beverages. In the must-try the homonymous NAMI with sake, lime and ginger foam but also the “Jasmine for two” with gin infused, green tea and jasmine flowers served in a Japanese teapot. Undoubtedly, creativity and imagination, exquisite, fresh ingredients and strong flavors are the main reasons that make NAMI the ultimate destination you should visit.
