Restaurante Estella-Karuizawa

Estella is a small restaurant offering authentic Spanish cuisine and local produce.

They combine the finest imported Spanish ingredients, as well as locally sourced produce, to create dishes that truly capture the essence of Spain.

The restaurant is located in Karuizawa, an upscale resort area one hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen bullet train.

The restaurant was founded in 2012. Owner-chef Sato is at Restaurante Cabo Mayor (Madrid),

He learned Spanish cooking methods from maestro and mentor Javier Sierra, Carlos Valenti, Miguel Jiménez, and Pedro Larumbe.

In our approach to restaurant management, we are always conscious of the need for more Japanese and tourists to experience Spanish cuisine that does not deviate from the essentials.

I wish that more people will be able to experience Spanish cuisine and be happy!
