Yakimar Izakaya

This restaurant in Carcavelos may be inspired by Japanese taverns, but the décor and theme draw entirely from the pirate anime with a legion of fans: One Piece. The project is by Jin Huang, who uses his background in management to help redefine the perception of Japanese food in Portugal, going beyond sushi. The menu focuses on traditional grilled dishes and slow-cooked broths, with highlights including yakitori, Japanese curry and ramen, whose broth simmers for 24 hours. There are lunch and student menus too.
