Sometimes to make the diner’s experience more rounded; sometimes to transfer the restaurant’s philosophy of territorial cuisine to the table; sometimes, most of the time, for both reasons at the same time, the truth is that kombucha is already making its way onto the menus of haute cuisine restaurants in Spain. Although it is a ferment rooted in other cultures and is not exactly new in our country, the Spanish palate was not very accustomed to the acidic, sweet and astringent taste of this drink, which reminds some of vinegar and others of cider. Once the first sips are over, kombucha is a pleasant and refreshing drink, ideal for starting any meal or even accompanying the entire menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the OBA restaurant<\/a><\/strong> (Casas-Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, Albacete), run by Juan Sahuquillo and Javier Sanz, who are also ambassadors for Ra\u00edz Culinaria, not only have they found it interesting to include kombucha in their liquid menu, but they have also created “Natura”, a complete fermentation pairing, where they not only offer home-made kombuchas together with other drinks based on the fermentation technique. “It came about as a necessity”, says Nicol\u00e1s Sabogal Zuluaga, head of ferments at OBA. “The OBA diner starts with a dish in the kitchen. At that moment we realised that he needed to satisfy his thirst, and why not cook that drink. It became a challenge because every week we make a different drink, they are fast fermentations, we use wild fermentations”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
