KUMA

About

KUMA is a modern, fine‑dining Japanese restaurant located in the heart of Bilbao at Calle Ercilla 8, corner of Juan Ajuriaguerra, 48009. The restaurant was founded in 2014 by chef Daniel Lomana in collaboration with his sister Alazne, drawing on a family legacy of hospitality that traces back to their grandparents’ “Hogar del Pescador” and “Parrillas del Mar.” KUMA blends traditional Japanese techniques with innovative twists, offering a menu that ranges from classic sashimi and nigiri to creative fusion dishes such as caviar‑topped erizo and wagyu sashimi. Guests can enjoy a full‑service dining experience with a view of the chef at work, and access a dedicated ramen project, Oh! Takū, situated in the same building. The restaurant prides itself on quality and meticulous detail, with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Ervas, the restaurant’s halal‑free and gluten‑free friendly menu is available, and the staff are attentive to allergies and dietary restrictions. Reservations are recommended to secure a table, especially during peak dining hours (14:00‑15:15 and 21:00‑22:15, Tuesday through Saturday). Reservations or general inquiries can be made online via the linked booking portal or via email at kumarestaurante@icloud.com. Whether you are a sushi aficionado, a culinary explorer interested in Japan’s contemporary food scene, or simply looking for an elegant evening in Bilbao, KUMA offers an engaging and memorable dining experience that showcases the artistry of Japanese cuisine.
