For those of us who live in Mérida, we know the culinary variety the state of Yucatán offers. Besides delicious traditional dishes, today we can find a wide range of restaurants that offer a formidable experience — this and more is what you can find in your new Life in Yucatán.

Enjoy the afternoon and evening in Mérida

The atmosphere is very pleasant, calm and relaxing. They have a terrace that will let you enjoy Mérida’s evening climate and sunsets. Enjoy this beautiful view along with one of Japan’s traditional drinks, such as sake, or with a very cold Sapporo beer to cool off from our state’s intense heat.

Its menu is very varied, with a wide range of starters, sashimi, nigiri, rolls, tempura and ramen. All this with extraordinary quality, freshness and flavour. The wide selection of drinks also lets you enjoy a tasty beer or a variety of sakes, which you can have cold or hot. I recommend the house sake — it’s a little fruity and very pleasant as an aperitif or, if you prefer, to accompany your food.

How much will I pay for Japanese food in Mérida?

The value for money is very fair, and you won’t regret it thanks to the great taste in your mouth. We had the chance to visit them; we love Japanese food and ramen, so this dish couldn’t be missing, and it really was a delicious experience. The ramen’s presentation is attractive at first sight — a very well-served dish with great quality ingredients and a delicious flavour. It has all the flavours and textures you’d expect from a dish like this. We highly recommend it; the dish is called Shoyu Ramen.
