MANTA × Edo Kobayashi

One night only. Two kitchens. A conversation between the Mexican Pacific and the Japanese soul of Baja.

MANTA welcomes Edo Kobayashi — founder of more than 20 restaurants across Mexico, the US, and Spain — for an unprecedented collaboration with Chef de Cuisine Abisai Sánchez and the world of Enrique Olvera. Local Baja ingredients, Japanese technique, Mexican soul. Two visions. One menu. The sea in the background.

Ten years building an authentic Japanese cuisine rooted in Baja California — from Rokai, his first izakaya, to a network of more than 20 restaurants spanning Mexico, the United States, and Spain.
