About
Tucked away in Tetuán, Sen Omakase is one of Madrid's most extraordinary dining experiences: a deeply personal omakase journey structured around the principles of kaiseki. Chef Steven Wu, who trained at the Tokyo Sushi Academy and worked under the masters at century-old Uosaburo in Kyoto, was awarded a Michelin star in 2024, remarkably within six months of opening. The menu unfolds across a succession of seasonal courses that honour Japanese technique with precision and sensitivity. Each sitting accommodates a small group of guests, ensuring a contemplative atmosphere that transports diners far beyond the streets of Madrid. Wu's victory in the Campeonato Nacional Itamae Spain and his Michelin recognition together confirm this as one of the most important Japanese restaurants in Europe.
