IKIGAI

Ok ...so I go to Japan about 3 times a year. That's my baseline for Japanese food. Visiting Madrid for first evening our friends wanted Japanese food (??) and I had little to zero expectations. Particularly when they said it was all u can eat at the reception. However....enjoyed it... alot. First mindset. Treat this as fusion Japanese Peruvian Spanish tapas (or small bites) in the style of small 🍣. Bold crossover flavours. Small enough bites so you can taste a variety - a meal of hors doeuvres if you like. We had about 12 to 16 different "samples". My fav was the fried pigeon huevos with tuna... Others...Unagi, apple with foie gras? How can that not be good? 😊 They were all tasty washed down with a cold Sapporo and sweet sake. As mentioned don't go in expecting japanese omakase in the traditional sense. Good service as expected from the price of this establishment. Only issue was the AC was broken. When fixed it would be a full 5 star experience.

The food is good, but waaaay not good enough for the price. The staff is very kind, but they are slow and unorganized and the reservation system is really bad. The ambience is loud and the AC does not work, making it hard to spend there time and enjoying the food. Again, they are not bad, but seriously overhyped and overpriced.

My second time here and still one of the best sushi restaurants I’ve ever been to! This will become a regular stop in Madrid for us. The quality and artistry that goes into every dish is incredible. We savored each and every bite. Our favorite was the one with scallop and egg frizzled on top. So special! Would highly recommend.

This is one of the best omakase I have had! Each dish is full of surprises. Chef Jose was very kind and patient at explaining each item. I would say it has perfectly combine the flavors of Japanese and Spanish cuisines. Highly recommended this omakase, worth every penny 🙌🏻
