Culmarex and Maiko Restaurante join forces in Shiromi, a unique experience

High-end Japanese cuisine with a Mediterranean soul

At Cooke España, our passion is to offer top-quality seafood, responsibly farmed in the Spanish Mediterranean. That’s why we’re excited to collaborate with Maiko Restaurante, one of the temples of Japanese haute cuisine in Murcia, where Japanese tradition and exceptional ingredients come together in every dish. The Shiromi experience is a one-of-a-kind proposal.

The union of two worlds: Mediterranean aquaculture and Japanese mastery

The chef at Maiko Restaurante, known for his meticulous technique and deep respect for ingredients, presents an exclusive menu where our star species – Culmarex sea bass, gilthead seabream, and meagre – take center stage.

Sashimi Mariawase, where white fish are the star, offers a pure and delicate experience, available as part of the Shiromi Experience.

Through preparations like sashimi, usuzukuri, tataki, and nigiri, the freshness and texture of our products are highlighted, showcasing their versatility in top-level Japanese cuisine.

From sea to plate: a quality guarantee

At Cooke España, we operate under a vertically integrated model, allowing us to oversee the entire process—from fish farming to distribution. This enables us to offer a fresh, sustainable product with the highest food safety standards—values shared by renowned chefs like those at Maiko Restaurante.
