Kanso, the Japanese restaurant in Palma de Mallorca founded by Ismael Rojo and Raúl García, redefines contemporary Japanese cuisine with a menu centred on the essence of the ingredients and technique.

Inspired by the Japanese concept of ‘the beauty of simplicity’, this restaurant aims to strip away all artifice and focus on what truly matters: flavour. In their kitchen, the robata (Japanese grill) takes centre stage, bringing to life dishes where fire, precise cuts and respect for the ingredients take centre stage. This philosophy makes Kanso a go-to destination for those seeking an authentic dining experience in Palma, free from decorative excess and focused on umami and culinary purity.

The dynamic between its chefs results in a vibrant cuisine: from grilled dishes such as tuna belly with parsnip purée and shiitake mushrooms, to more creative offerings such as its reinterpretation of the katsu sando with Iberian pork and foie gras.

The sushi, another of its hallmarks, is executed with almost obsessive precision, with meticulous attention paid to everything from the selection of the rice to the exact serving temperature to enhance the flavour of the fish. Kanso is not just a Japanese restaurant in Mallorca, but a gastronomic experience where technique, ingredients and passion combine to offer honest, intense and memorable cuisine, establishing itself as one of the must-visit destinations on the island’s culinary scene.
