Inspired by the Japanese words for “dream” and “love,” NAYUU embodies a poetic expression of omakase dining by Chef de Cuisine Alex Moranda. Guided by gomi – the five elemental tastes of Japanese cuisine – our Japanese restaurant in Da Nang unveils a multisensory journey where artistry, seasonality and emotion intertwine.

Meet the team

Alex Moranda
Chef de Cuisine, JapaneseChef de Cuisine Alex Moranda is a Spanish-born, Japanese-trained chef who defies expectations. Deeply immersed in Japanese culture, language and culinary traditions from the age of 16, Chef Moranda studied at the Sushi Tokyo Academy and attained the Kobe Beef Certificate for crafting the ingredient. Before the launch of NAYUU, his crowning achievement was the creation of the first 99 Sushi Bar and Restaurant, a Japanese haute cuisine brand he then sold, with his legacy living on in its global presence and international acclaim.
“Launching a restaurant as tantalizing for the mind as it is for the senses is a creative dream come true. NAYUU is about reimagining every dining experience through the five senses and flavours while inviting guests to take an active role in guiding their meal’s preparation.”
