Description

Japonessa is not really a Japanese/Spanish fusion restaurant. It is absolutely a Japanese restaurant, with its heavy reliance on noodles, seaweed, sushi, sashimi, and the artful preparation of everything that swims. There are hints of a Spanish tradition dotted here and there throughout the long menu. And on top of that, a kind of nouvelle Latino. And French. Non-Japanese Pacific Rim. Mediterranean. Even South American influence. The take away is confusing, but delicious.
