đȘđž Valenzh Authentic Japanese Restaurant
đŁ SUNN: A Charming Japanese Gem in ValenciaâWorth the Hype Stumbling upon SUNN, a tiny Japanese spot run by a Japanese owner, felt like hitting foodie gold. This little restaurant in El Pla del Real is cozy, unassuming, and so worth a visitâjust make sure to book ahead (itâs popular for a reason). My friend and I arrived ready to feast, and we werenât disappointed. First up: a carafe of karatamba (shochu) in a pretty pink bottleâcute, fruity, and the perfect sip to start the meal. đ± The Standout Dishes Pollo Teriyaki đ Crispy on the outside, juicy on the insideâthis teriyaki chicken hits all the right notes. The sauce is sweet, glossy, and not too thick, coating every bite without overpowering the tender meat. Takoyaki đ„ Golden, ball-shaped octopus fritters with that classic crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. Drizzled with takoyaki sauce, mayo, and bonito flakesâwarm, savory, and totally addictive. Nigiri se salmĂłn flambeado đ„ The must-order. Torched salmon nigiri with a slight char that caramelizes the fishâs natural oils, making it rich, buttery, and impossibly flavorful. The rice is perfectly seasonedâsticky but not mushy. Nigiri de ebi avocado đŠđ„ Plump shrimp nigiri topped with creamy avocado. The surprise? A hint of raw onion thatâs sweet, not sharpâadding a fresh crunch that balances the richness. Sunn roll de langostino đŠ A creative maki: langostino (langoustine) inside, topped with crispy tempura escarole (endive). Itâs a textural delightâcreamy, crunchy, and packed with seafood sweetness. TiramisĂș de te verde đ” A clever twist on classic tiramisu: matcha-infused ladyfingers layered with creamy mascarpone. The matcha adds a subtle bitterness that cuts through the sweetnessârefreshing and unique. âš The Verdict Taste: âââââ (Four stars, but honestly, the salmon nigiri alone deserves five) Vibe: âââ Cozy and intimate, with a relaxed, no-fuss feel (think small tables, soft lightingâgreat for chats). Overall: ââââ A solid spot for fresh, flavorful Japanese food that doesnât skimp on quality. SUNN proves that some of the best finds are the smallest. For sushi, teriyaki, or a fun Japanese feast in Valencia, this oneâs a keeper. đ Address: Carrer de Vicent Sancho Tello, 20, El Pla del Real, 46021 ValĂšncia #ValenciaSushi #JapaneseFood #HiddenGems
