TA-KUMI · Restaurant · Marbella
Japanese cooking from chefs Toshio Tsutsui and Alvaro Arbeloa, with the Matsuri tasting menu, in Marbella.
TA-KUMI is a Japanese restaurant on Calle Gregorio Maranon in Marbella, listed in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026. The name joins the initials of its two chefs, Toshio and Alvaro, to kumi, a team, and echoes takumi, which the house translates as craftsman and master. Toshio Tsutsui came from Fukuoka by way of kitchens in California and Palma de Mallorca, and Alvaro Arbeloa arrived in Marbella in 2011 to build TA-KUMI. The kitchen also runs restaurants in Malaga and Madrid.
The Marbella house describes itself as a place where tradition and gastronomy share the table, with product and technique as its signatures. The dining room is laid with tables, and guests choose between the tasting menu, the a la carte, or leaving the order to the dining room team, who shape the meal around each table's tastes.
The Matsuri tasting menu runs from oysters, natural or in panko with ponzu, and toro tartare with quail egg yolk and truffle to red prawn sashimi with its roasted head, a sashimi moriawase cut usuzukuri and hirazukuri style, six chef's-choice nigiri and black cod with miso, snow peas and shimeji. An optional course brings Japanese wagyu from the robata with fresh wasabi and garlic chips. On the a la carte, the MICHELIN Guide points to the California roll with tempura prawns and green asparagus.
Lunch and dinner run Tuesday to Saturday. The a la carte changes with the market and is shown only at the restaurant, so the Matsuri menu is the one to plan around.
Address: Calle Gregorio Maranon 4, 29602 Marbella, Malaga, Marbella
