Shima Mallorca: Japanese Nikkei Cuisine Meets Elegance

The restaurant Shima at the Four Seasons Formentor is more than a place to eat — it is an experience. With a unique fusion of Japanese precision and Peruvian flavors, known as Nikkei cuisine, this restaurant draws guests from around the world. The setting alone is impressive: amid the luxurious resort you can enjoy views of the Tramuntana mountains and the lush gardens. The atmosphere is calm and stylish, perfect for a special evening. Here not only flavor is served, but also a story — told through every dish and every ingredient.

The culinary highlight: Bonsái menu

When you order the Bonsái menu, expect small masterpieces on your plate. Our experience began with a crispy corn chip topped with salmon tartare and chilis — a perfect start. Then came delicate scallops and prawns in a fresh tiradito, as well as grilled zamburiñas with spicy rocoto sauce. The hamachi nigiri with spicy miso was a true umami hit. Other highlights included yakitori chicken with anticuchera sauce and robata-grilled sea bass with an intense seafood bisque. For meat lovers there are tender lamb chops with eggplant and pulled-lamb tacos — both perfectly showcase the range of the cuisine.

Desserts and Conclusion

At the end of our evening we tried the Cacao Cabose dessert — a combination of chocolate cream, coconut mousse and toasted meringue. This was accompanied by tropical mocktails and a sake tasting. This sweet finale perfectly rounded off the experience.
