Pisco Bar and Nikkei cuisine on Kastanienallee — Peruvian-Japanese fusion threaded with Amazon influences from Juan Danilo's childhood.
The name points at the direction: Nauta is a village on the Amazon and means sailor. The concept skips gluten and industrial sugar, dairy stays the exception. The menu opens up between salmon sashimi with avocado and jalapeno, a passion-fruit-cured ceviche with sweet-potato chips and a beef tartare on daikon pulled through sesame oil, shochu and sake. At the center: the octopus, braised 3.5 hours — the show-stopper the house measures itself against. Around it: colorful tiles, pale wood and an open kitchen.
