Barcelona

Japanese restaurants in Barcelona

  1. A

    Parco

    The Italian love affair with Barcelona manifests itself here with this branch of the stylish Milan sushi-restaurant-cum-cocktail-bar. With a little fusion music in the background, start the evening with a round of bulbous cocktails before ordering plates of sushi and sashimi. Lighting is low, while red and black dominate the décor. Those unlucky enough to miss out on a lounge may find themselves uncomfortably perched on backless chairs.

    Shunka

    Shunka is a cut above Barcelona's Oriental average. The presence of Japanese punters is reassuring, and the open-plan kitchen also inspires confidence - you can keep an eye on what they're doing with your tempura and sashimi.

    Yamadory

    Yamadory, one of the city’s first Japanese restaurants, still attracts visiting Japanese business people today. As the door slips closed behind you, the first thing you notice is the hushed atmosphere. Divided into several dining areas with a contemporary Japanese decor, it is notable for its gliding efficiency. Head upstairs to sit on a floor-level tatami. The sushi, sashimi, udon and tempura are all good.

    Koyuki

    This unassuming basement Japanese diner is one of those rough-edged diamonds that it pays to revisit. Sit at a long table and order from the cheesy menu complete with pictures courtesy of the Japanese owner – you won’t be disappointed. The variety of sashimi moriawase is generous and constantly fresh. The tempura udon is a particularly hearty noodle option. Splash it all down with Sapporo beer.
