The Shisu Bar at the Myconian Imperial Resort represents the unique atmosphere of the Mediterranean landscape combined with the authentic Japanese flavors.Placed  in a beautiful open terrace in front of the endless clear blue Aegean waters becoming one with the bright blue Greek sky , the Shisu Bar serves  fresh, high class Japanese cuisine  by the talented Chef Ahmed Ahmed.

Japanese Cuisine
The general philosophy of the Japanese cuisine, led Ahmed in 2010 in taking seminars near famous Sushi Chefs in Greece. Since then he got  continuously creative. When we asked him why he loves working with the Japanese materials so much, he replied:

“It’s the whole philosophy that attracts me but more than this,it is the fact that the materials used and especially the fish, along with the preparation techniques make  my  imagination run wild and create unique flavors with the flawless appearance of an absolute class.”

The Menu

Chef Ahmed Ahmed has truly built an entire pyramid of flavors for the “Shisu Bar” at the Myconian Imperial Resort!  The exciting culinary journey  can start with the Salmon Tartar in yuzu  truffle oil combined with the Field green salad with Japanese dressing. A big variety of  Sushi Sarimi or Maki could follow  as a main course, but the big challenge comes at the mouthwatering “Myconian Collection Signature Rolls” or the “Myconian Collection Combos” dishes, you just want to have them all!  for the true enthusiasts of the Japanese cuisine, a hot plate of Soft shell crab with spinach tempura and butter ponzu sauce  is also available!
