🇪🇸 Visit a Japanese izakaya in Valencia‼🏮🍶🌟 It's so cozy

🍣 Restaurante Sankai: Valencia’s Anime-Worthy Japanese Spot with Eats to Swoon Over Step into Sankai, and it’s like stepping into a Japanese anime—so authentically styled, with that cozy, vibrant vibe that makes you feel instantly transported. From sukiyaki to okonomiyaki, takoyaki to sushi, and even yakitori (grilled skewers) and sake, this spot has all the Japanese comfort food your heart desires. And let me tell you—every bite lives up to the cute decor! 🍱 What We Ate (With 6 People, So We Tried A Lot) Unagi Sushi 🐍 My absolute favorite. The eel is melt-in-your-mouth tender, glazed with that perfect sweet-savory sauce, and paired with perfectly seasoned rice. So good, I could’ve eaten a whole plate by myself ✨ Okonomiyaki 🥞 A pleasant surprise! This savory Japanese pancake (loaded with cabbage, pork, and a drizzle of mayo/sauce) was crispy on the edges, fluffy in the middle, and way better than I expected. A must-order for shareable comfort. Sukiyaki 🍲 Rich, savory, and so satisfying. The broth is packed with umami, the mushrooms are juicy, and the beef? Generous portions—no skimping here. It’s warm, hearty, and perfect for sharing. Honorable Mentions: The takoyaki (octopus balls) were crispy and flavorful, and the sushi selection was fresh and reliable. ✨ Extra Perks Price: With 6 of us, we paid around €20 per person—insanely good value for how much we ate (and how full we left!). Lunch Deal: They have a cheap daily menu at noon—definitely adding that to my “weekday lunch rotation.” Cuteness Overload: The little Shiba Inu and cat figurines on the tables? Adorable 🥹 They fit the anime vibe perfectly and made the meal feel even more fun. 📍 Details Location: Near the university in Algirós—easy to reach if you’re exploring that area. Vibe: 10/10. The decor, the food, the friendly service—everything clicks. It’s great for groups, dates, or even solo meals. Next on My List: Yakitori and taiyaki (sweet fish-shaped pastries)—I was too full this time, but I’m already planning a return trip (taiyaki is impossible to resist 🥹). If you love Japanese food or just cute, cozy spots, Sankai is a no-brainer. Go for the eel sushi, stay for the okonomiyaki, and snap a pic with those adorable table figurines—you won’t regret it. #ValenciaJapanese #AnimeVibes #FoodieHeaven
