The squash blossom dish was full of flavor and pairing with black paste seasoning was very flavorful, the salad with almond cheese and tomatoes was very good, the cheese had a good flavor sometimes vegan cheeses taste plastic this did not, the suckling pig was roasted perfectly little crunchy on top but meat so tender you can cut off with a spoon, juicy, my husband said the risotto with venison was best risotto he has ever had in his life, you can taste citrus, cheese, and tender venison- the meal was excellent.

Designed by the famous chef Roberto Solis and his partner chef Manuel Balan, Jayu is an exclusive Japanese food restaurant with Yucatecan touches, hence the name JA for Japan, YU for Yucatan.
The concept is a 10-seat bar in which interaction is created between the chefs and the diner.
We have 3 menus.
-Nigiris menu.
-Short omakase.
-Long omakase.
We do not share any menu as it changes constantly, as we depend on daily supplies for its preparation, which consists of fish, seafood, meat and poultry.

About the restaurant

We are a sensorial journey.
Amazing mixes of intentionally selected items.
An eclectic, mysterious and relaxed bar.
This is a secret and special place, where the spiritual and the material meets and combine creating magic.
A trip to ourselves, where the liquor reveals its secrets from the hand of the mixologist and the kitchen from our chef complements it perfectly.
A hidden space where we are not afraid of the unknown, where everything feeds the spirit...
and, of course, the body too.

First time in the new restaurant behind Huniik, this is a different concept but with the same attention to detail in service, food and ambience. It was the best experience I have had, not just in Merida but in the US & Europe. The food is Yucatan influenced, not simply elevated but taken in a different direction; deliciously comforting and easy on the wallet. Shout to the best martini in town, too. Can’t wait to go back.

Ordered a lot of food which made one or two dishes a bit lower on temperature when delivered. But meat well cooked, exactly how ordered, fish was great as well. Entries and side dishes excellent. Second visit, as good as the first one. Highly recommended.
