Japanese Excellence in the Heart of Marbella
Just steps away from Marbella’s vibrant seafront, Ta-Kumi offers an exquisite journey into Japanese gastronomy with Mediterranean soul. Created by master chefs Toshio Tsutsui and Álvaro Arbeloa, the restaurant’s name — meaning “artisan” in Japanese — reflects their shared devotion to craftsmanship, precision, and culinary excellence. Together, they’ve fused the elegance of Japanese tradition with the freshness of Mediterranean ingredients to create a truly refined dining experience.
Contemporary Elegance with Eastern Flair
Ta-Kumi strikes the perfect balance between minimalist oriental décor and modern sophistication. Whether dining indoors in its cool, stylish interior or on the terrace during warm Marbella evenings, the ambiance is both tranquil and refined. The service is attentive and warm, with the team offering thoughtful recommendations — particularly helpful for those new to Japanese cuisine, ensuring an experience that is both accessible and elevated.
The Finest Sushi and Beyond
Renowned for serving some of the best sushi in Marbella, Ta-Kumi’s menu showcases an exceptional array of Maki, California rolls, Nigiri, and Sashimi, all prepared with the freshest, highest-quality fish. One TripAdvisor reviewer even ranked it among the top 5 sushi spots in the world — a testament to its global appeal. Beyond sushi, guests can enjoy comforting hot dishes like Miso soup, Yakisoba, Udon noodles, and Yakitori. For a true culinary journey, the Tasting Menu comes highly recommended and changes often to reflect the chefs’ inspiration and the market’s freshest finds.
