Amanjena - Dining
Washoku cuisine – inscribed by Unesco for its cultural significance, spirit of respect for nature and sustainable use of natural resources – underpins the ethos of Amanjena’s nightly Japanese restaurant, Nama. Set beside the serene swimming pool, it celebrates the country’s centuries-old food culture with delicate dishes of miso-marinated black cod, tempura prawns with traditional tentsuyu dip and seafood-rich sushi and sashimi plates, sourced daily from the Essaouira coast. Centred around a charcoal-fired robata grill and sushi counter, guests can watch expert chefs illustrate the power of Japan’s food to travel far and wide beyond its borders.
Seafood from the source
Essaouira's blue fishing boats and currents make it ideal for sourcing fresh seafood. Amanjena’s Executive Chef and Nama’s Head Chef regularly visit local fishermen, ensuring only the best is sent to the resort. Tuna, seabass, and turbot, particularly good in Morocco, feature prominently on Nama's menu.
A standalone setting
Nama welcomes both guests and non-residents for year-round dinner, featuring versatile spaces. In summer, dine outdoors overlooking the pool's rose-pink courtyard. As temperatures drop, retreat indoors to the high-ceilinged heart with a central fireplace, offering warmth and a view of the action at the robata grill and sushi counter.
Created for sharing
Traditionally, the secrets of washoku cooking are passed down over shared mealtimes in Japan – and so too at Nama. Dishes are designed to be savoured among close-knit couples and gathered groups, with light, well-balanced plates of panko-prawn sushi and tuna sashimi specifically created for Nama’s communal setting.
