YAKU brings the bold flavours of Nikkei cuisine to the Cretan shores, weaving together the culinary grandeur of Japan with the vibrant spirit of Peru.

Under the visionary guidance of consulting chef Mr. Skamnakis, flavours bold yet harmonious, and textures surprising yet comforting are introduced in a graceful setting. Rooted in the izakaya tradition, YAKU is more than a restaurant – it is a social ritual, an invitation to share, connect, and delight. The experience extends beyond the plate, with a signature bar and artfully crafted drinks that complement the bold, intricate flavours. Share in the enjoyment through dishes that transcend the act of dining, transforming it into a moment of togetherness, while our DJ sets the tone for an amazing evening and beats and bites come together to elevate the atmosphere.

Here, the ritual of sharing is not just about food – it is about celebration, discovery and connection. At YAKU, every bite tells a story – a story of cultures intertwined, of flavours reimagined, and of the simple yet profound joy of sharing something truly exceptional.
