Signature Season: the new collaboration between Healthy Poke and Ricardo Sanz
Gastronomy is constantly evolving. New ingredients, techniques and ways of enjoying food appear every year, but there is something that always remains: the excitement we feel when we discover a dish capable of surprising us from the very first bite.
At Healthy Poke we believe that eating well can also be an experience. That’s why we’re taking our understanding of poke one step further with the launch of Signature Season, an annual collaboration created for those who love discovering new flavors and appreciate the creativity behind every recipe.
Signature Season is born as a space where culinary innovation meets the freshness that defines Healthy Poke. Throughout the year, different exclusive creations will arrive on our menu from the hand of the renowned chef Ricardo Sanz, one of the great figures of signature Japanese cuisine in Spain.
Each season will bring a new bowl inspired by the ingredients, colors and sensations of that time of year. One-of-a-kind recipes, available for a limited time and designed to turn every visit into a different experience.
The first stop on this culinary journey has a name of its own: Natsu.
A bowl that captures the essence of summer and kicks off a collection of recipes where haute cuisine adapts to the poke format without losing its personality.
Because at Healthy Poke we have always believed that the best ingredients tell stories. And this one has just begun.
That same philosophy is what has driven the collaboration between Healthy Poke and Ricardo Sanz, one of the most influential chefs in Spanish gastronomy and a pioneer of Japanese-Mediterranean cuisine.
The result is much more than a new launch. It’s the union of two culinary worlds that share the same vision: respect for the product, culinary creativity and the ability to reinterpret traditions to create unique experiences.
With this new Signature Poke, Healthy Poke takes another step forward in its commitment to culinary innovation, bringing signature cuisine to a fresh, balanced format that’s accessible to everyone.
What is Signature Season?
Signature Season is much more than a collection of new pokes.
It’s a project born with the intention of bringing the creativity of haute cuisine to a fresh, balanced and accessible format, while keeping the essence that has made poke one of the favorite dishes for those looking to enjoy food full of flavor.
Each season of the year will feature a special launch created together with Ricardo Sanz. We’re not simply talking about adding new ingredients to the menu, but about developing recipes with their own identity, where every detail has a purpose and every combination responds to a specific culinary idea.
The name Signature Season reflects precisely that philosophy.
“Signature” refers to the chef’s personal signature, to that unique way of interpreting ingredients and creating dishes that bear the imprint of his culinary personality.
“Season” represents the temporary nature of each launch. Each bowl will be inspired by a different season and will only be available for a few months before giving way to the next creation.
This turns every recipe into an exclusive experience that evolves throughout the year.
An invitation to discover new flavors season after season.
At Healthy Poke we have spent years committed to fresh ingredients, balanced recipes and combinations capable of surprising. Signature Season is a natural step within that evolution: to keep innovating without losing our essence.
Because when the product is good, there are always new ways to enjoy it.
Ricardo Sanz x Healthy Poke:
a collaboration with a taste for innovation
To bring Signature Season to life, we needed to find someone who shared our way of understanding gastronomy. A chef capable of combining creativity, technique and respect for the product.
The choice was almost natural.
Ricardo Sanz is one of the most recognized names in contemporary Japanese cuisine in Spain and a true reference in the creation of Japanese-Mediterranean cuisine, a style that combines the precision and balance of Japanese tradition with the richness of Mediterranean ingredients. His career has been marked by innovation and by a constant search for new ways to interpret gastronomy without losing respect for traditional techniques.
For years he has shown that two seemingly different culinary cultures can coexist in the same dish in perfect harmony. It is precisely this philosophy that connects in a very special way with Healthy Poke.
Our bowls have always sought to offer a balance between flavor, freshness and quality.
The collaboration with Ricardo Sanz allows us to take that idea one step further, incorporating the vision of a chef who understands cooking as a space where tradition and innovation coexist naturally.
The result is not meant to transform the essence of poke. Quite the opposite. It aims to enhance it.
Every ingredient, every texture and every nuance is designed to create a different culinary experience, respecting the format that has made poke one of the favorite options for enjoying a fresh, flavor-packed meal.
This collaboration also reflects a growing trend within the gastronomy world: bringing signature cuisine closer to everyday experiences.
Today, consumers are looking for more than just a delicious dish.
They want to discover stories, get to know who is behind each creation and enjoy proposals that go beyond the food itself.
Signature Season responds precisely to this way of understanding gastronomy.
It’s not just a new recipe.
It’s the beginning of a collection of exclusive creations where Ricardo Sanz’s talent joins the Healthy Poke universe to surprise you every season of the year.
Natsu: the first Signature Bowl of the season
Every great story needs a first chapter. And in Signature Season, that chapter begins with Natsu.
Inspired by summer, this bowl has been designed to convey freshness, balance and lightness from the very first bite.
Its name was not chosen at random; in Japanese, Natsu (夏) means summer, a season associated with fresh ingredients, vibrant colors and meals that invite you to enjoy them at a leisurely pace. That spirit is precisely what shapes this first creation.
Natsu represents those long days when you feel like eating something light but full of flavor. It’s a recipe created for those who enjoy discovering new nuances without giving up the simplicity that defines poke.
Each ingredient has a specific place within the bowl; nothing is excess and nothing is missing.
The result is a combination where textures complement each other and flavors find a balance that invites you to keep discovering every bite. More than a seasonal launch, Natsu is a statement of intent.
It’s the first taste of what Signature Season aims to offer throughout the year: recipes capable of surprising you, inspired by Ricardo Sanz’s vision and crafted to enjoy poke from a different perspective.
The ingredients that bring Natsu to life
Behind every great recipe there is always a selection of ingredients capable of complementing one another. In Natsu, each element serves a specific purpose to create a balanced experience, where flavor, texture and freshness move in the same direction.
The base of the bowl begins with rice, the ingredient that brings harmony to the whole and serves as a meeting point for the rest of the flavors.
On top of it we find fresh salmon, the undisputed star of this creation. Its smooth texture and delicate flavor make it a natural match for the Japanese inspiration that defines Ricardo Sanz’s culinary vision.
Next comes the tamago, the traditional Japanese omelette, which adds a subtle sweet touch and a different texture, creating contrast without taking the spotlight away from the rest of the ingredients.
The edamame adds freshness and balance, as well as becoming that little bite that brings color and personality to the bowl.
But if there is one element that turns this recipe into a unique creation, it’s the exclusive dressing developed by Ricardo Sanz. More than a sauce, it acts as the common thread of the entire recipe. It’s the ingredient that ties every flavor together and gives the whole dish its own identity, respecting both the essence of poke and the chef’s culinary philosophy.
To finish, a crunchy touch of chips adds that contrast of textures that makes every spoonful different from the last. The result is a bowl where nothing has been chosen at random. Every ingredient adds something, every texture has a purpose.
And every bite reflects the balance that defines both Ricardo Sanz’s cuisine and the Healthy Poke philosophy.
What makes Signature Season special?
At Healthy Poke we have always understood that innovating doesn’t mean changing everything; it means finding new ways to surprise while respecting what defines us.
Signature Season is born precisely from that idea.
This philosophy turns Signature Season into a living collection, where creativity takes center stage and where each recipe has a limited time to be enjoyed.
Because some culinary experiences deserve to be lived in the moment.
In addition, this collaboration represents a new way of bringing signature cuisine closer to an everyday format.
The creativity of a renowned chef is no longer reserved for special occasions and becomes part of a meal that can be enjoyed any day of the week.
It’s a different way of understanding poke. More creative. More surprising.
And, above all, designed for those who enjoy exploring new ideas without giving up the freshness and balance that define Healthy Poke.
Much more than a bowl:
a seasonal experience
Some dishes become regulars. And there are others that appear only for a while to surprise us.
Natsu belongs to this second category.
As the first launch of Signature Season, it will be available for the next three months, before giving way to a new creation inspired by the next season of the year. This temporary nature is part of the essence of the project.
Each recipe is created to be enjoyed at a specific moment, making the most of the inspiration, the flavors and the personality of each season.
This way, every visit to Healthy Poke can become an opportunity to discover something new. Because Signature Season isn’t about creating a single memorable bowl; it’s about building a story that evolves with each season.
Today that story begins with Natsu.
Tomorrow a new creation will arrive. And then another.
A collection of exclusive recipes designed to surprise you again and again.
Discover Natsu, the first chapter of Signature Season
Every season has a beginning. And Signature Season kicks off with a creation that combines Ricardo Sanz’s creativity with the fresh, balanced and contemporary essence of Healthy Poke.
Natsu is an invitation to discover how signature cuisine can adapt to the poke format without losing its personality. A bowl inspired by summer, created to enjoy new flavors and designed for those who believe that every meal can become an experience. But, as with all Signature Season recipes, it will be available for a limited time only.
If you want to be among the first to discover this collaboration and try the first Signature Bowl of the season, now is the time. Visit your nearest Healthy Poke restaurant or place your order online and let yourself be surprised by Natsu, the first creation of a collection that has only just begun.
Because the best culinary stories aren’t just told.
They’re also savored.
