Konamon

Konamon brings something especially valuable to the Japanese scene in Playa del Carmen: variety. Here Japan does not start or end with sushi, but with street and home cooking from Osaka. Its name refers to konamono, preparations made from flour. Okonomiyaki cooked on a griddle, takoyaki filled with octopus, and yakisoba form the heart of a menu complemented by other Japanese recipes. The experience maintains the character of a small izakaya. The space is intimate and relaxed, while sake, beer, and cocktails inspired by Japanese ingredients accompany dishes designed to be tried and shared. Konamon allows discovering a Japan that is everyday, fun, and deeply gastronomic. Precisely the kind of place that helps a category Japanese become something more interesting than twenty versions of the same roll.
