Manato’s Japanese specialities
At il Mercato centrale, we’re proud to showcase artisans who bring personal stories to the table. Meet Manato, the face behind our Japanese store that’s here to stay, serving up handmade dumplings, warming ramen and flavour-packed noodle bowls.
With a Japanese & Filipino background, Manato’s approach to food is grounded in quality ingredients, with a generous pinch of heart. Inspired by traditional Japanese flavours with a modern twist, every bowl and bite is made with care – simple, comforting food done well and worth stopping by the city for.
Good news: the winter pop-up is now here to stay! Come grab a bowl and check it out for yourself.
