NINYAS is a restaurant tribute to gastronomic innovation, with a rigorous focus on the fusion of two cultures: Mexican and Japanese. Located in a small space of 100 square meters, in a 20th-century building, in Mexico City. The architectural intervention is simplified by using a single material: stainless steel, which makes up the kitchen equipment and furniture, as well as the counters and perimeter walls. Simultaneously neutral and glossy, becomes the element that fills the space with vitality and color through the diffuse reflection of each visitor.
