FOOD PHILOSOPHY
Fresh local ingredients.
Carefully chosen seasonings.
And food and drinks that look too good to resist.
At Emi X, we serve what owner-chef Emi would happily enjoy any day.
Japanese essence. Local ingredients.
Comforting home-style dishes and original creations.
Original cocktails Emi loves, plus wines, sake,
and beer—enjoyed with the food or on their own.
Wholesome. Satisfying. Genuinely delicious.
WHY EMI X?
Rooted in Japan.
Inspired by the world.
The heart of Emi X is the Japanese home cooking Chef Emi grew up with.
Crafted with local ingredients and enriched by inspiration gathered through her travels.
That’s why you won’t find sushi or ramen on our menu.
Instead, you’ll find a side of Japanese home cooking you may not have experienced before.

OUR STORY
It all began at a bustling weekend farmers’ market in Hawaii.
Watching people smile from their very first bite of my food was a moment that changed everything.
I knew then that I wanted to take that warmth—the pure joy created around a simple table—and share it with the world.
That dream led me here, to San Sebastián.
