Interview with Noé and Fernando Carmona from the Ecuadorian-Japanese Fusion Restaurant, Noé Sushi Bar
We believe in the talent, creativity, and resilience of our chefs and allies, which is why we develop interviews where we can present gastronomic projects that inspire our community.
On this occasion, we have partnered with Juan Carlos Castillo and his interview program “Quién es Quién,” where renowned chefs from Ecuador will be featured each week, along with their stories, creations, training, and inspirations. This week, we present Noé and Fernando Carmona, founders and creators of the restaurant Noe Sushi Bar.
Noé Carmona is one of the great icons of Japanese and fusion gastronomy. A lover of gourmet food, he is an artist and innovator. His culinary experience dates back to the best restaurants in Quito, where he built the foundations of a cuisine that today conquers the most demanding palates. He developed his expertise after working with some of the greatest experts in the Japanese culinary field.
His passion, creativity, curiosity, and a touch of mysticism are aspects that have placed him where he is today. Proud of his birthplace, the province of Loja, he set out to bring the flavors of his city and share them with the rest of the world, always seeking to create and fuse elements through distinctive techniques to play with the senses. His purpose is always to achieve perfection, beauty, and art in every preparation.
Fernando Carmona, Chef and Head of Research and Development at Sushi Corp, joins this mission with years of experience in various gastronomic fields.
Furthermore, he shares the same passion for Eastern culture as Noah, which is why they always aim to take all their creations to the next level, focusing on using high-quality local products combined with Japanese ingredients that bring art and culture to every bite.
Noé Sushi Bar is born as a unique brand of its kind, combining flavors from Ecuadorian cuisine with elements from Japan. These exquisite fusions result in irresistible creations for their clients. Gastronomy offers an opportunity to play with the senses and awaken sensations, which is why at Noé Sushi Bar, they treat each ingredient as unique, taking care of every detail, from technique to composition, timing, and presentation. This makes the experience in their establishments unrepeatable with every visit.
During the interview, we were able to witness the preparation of one of the restaurant's most characteristic desserts, the “Noah's Style Brownie.”.
This dessert is made with Ecuadorian 100% ingredients, including our 56% dark chocolate, caramelized nuts, crunchy meringue sticks, fresh seasonal fruit, chocolate shavings, mint, and vanilla ice cream, all coated in chocolate—undoubtedly a delicious dessert.
