Sushiraku — Restaurant in Barcelona

A Culinary Journey to Japan in the Heart of Barcelona

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sushiraku, a hidden gem tucked away in the bustling streets of Barcelona. As a tourist in the city, stumbling upon this authentic Japanese restaurant was a stroke of luck. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a remarkable dining experience.

The atmosphere at Sushiraku transported me back to Japan with its traditional decor and warm, welcoming ambiance. Despite being the only tourists in the restaurant, we felt like we had discovered a well-kept secret, known only to locals and true connoisseurs of Japanese cuisine.

The culinary journey began with the exquisite Toro nigiri, the pinnacle of Tuna's fatty goodness. Each piece was expertly crafted, melting in my mouth with its buttery texture and rich flavor. It was an absolute delight for the senses, and a testament to the skill and dedication of the sushi chefs at Sushiraku.

Another highlight of our meal was the traditional Karaage, crispy and succulent fried chicken. The perfectly seasoned coating and tender meat made it a mouthwatering treat that left us craving more. Accompanied by the fried tofu, which had a delicate, silky texture, it was a match made in heaven.

One of the restaurant's recommendations was a mushroom dish, and I am so grateful we followed their advice. The dish exceeded all expectations, showcasing the umami flavors of the mushrooms in a way I had never experienced before. It was a revelation for my taste buds and a testament to the chef's mastery of ingredients.

The experience of tasting real wasabi was truly a rarity and added an extra layer of authenticity to our meal. Unlike the imitation versions commonly found, the pungent, yet delicate, flavor of real wasabi elevated each dish to new heights. It was a true pleasure to savor this distinctive and rarely encountered ingredient.

Overall, I cannot recommend Sushiraku enough. The combination of exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and a nostalgic ambiance made it a standout dining experience for me. If you're seeking an authentic taste of Japan in Barcelona, this is the place to be.

The staff's attentiveness and knowledge about the dishes further enhanced our dining experience. Their genuine passion for Japanese cuisine and willingness to share their expertise made us feel like honored guests. Whether you're a seasoned sushi enthusiast or new to the world of Japanese food, Sushiraku will surely leave you impressed and satisfied.

In conclusion, Sushiraku is a culinary gem that transported me back to Japan in the heart of Barcelona. The Toro nigiri, Karaage, fried tofu, and the delectable mushroom dish were all exceptional, highlighting the chef's dedication to quality and authenticity. Coupled with the rare experience of tasting real wasabi, this restaurant has truly left a lasting impression on me.

Interesante japonés sushi.raku con propuestas originales en carta y platos especiales fuera de carta. Dejaros aconsejar por Kimbu y escuchad atentos como explica no solo los platos y sus ingredientes sino sus beneficios para la salud. ❤️‍🩹 Por ejemplo el sésamo negro que acompaña a las setas oreja de madera (unas setas con una textura sorprendente, que recuerda más a una alga que a una seta). Pues bien, Kimbu nos explica las virtudes del sésamo negro contra las canas (entre otros beneficios). Pero remarca que la medicina japonesa (basada en la alimentación) no es como la medicina europea (basada en la medicación). Una requiere paciencia y obtiene resultados a largo plazo, mientras que la otra busca inmediatez, y no precisamente con productos naturales. En definitiva, con Kimbu en la sala, alimentas cuerpo y mente. 😍🧠 Me ha encantado el Toro, uno de los cortes de la ventresca de atún más valorados en la gastronomía japonesa. Lo sirven con sal gorda y un trocito de foie encima. Se deshace en la boca 🤤 Bien las sardinas rebozadas, langostinos en tempura y los uramakis. Pruebo los 3 que más curiosos me parecen: Kawa maki, relleno de piel de salmón crujiente y cubierto de salmón y aguacate. Tataki maki, relleno de tempura de langostino, mahonesa, aguacate y cubierto de tataki de atún. Y sake tempura maki, relleno de salmón en tempura y col lombarda, cubierto de aguacate y anguila con sésamo. 👉🏻 Sígueme en...

És prou bo però és massa car i escàs.

Vam ser un grup de 30 per celebrar un aniversari especial, i tot i que no és un lloc ample, vam gaudir molt, podent fer xivarri, etc.

En general, en quant a qualitat és bo, sense ser cap meravella, unes coses més que altres: Molt bé el llenguado fregit que es podia menjar fins les espines o els sushis, sobretot el d'anguila, però en canvi l'arròs, és dels més fluixos que he menjat.

Ara bé, en quant a quantitat va deixar que desitjar molt. Potser perquè érem un grup molt nombrós, el servei eren racions que corresponien a 1 (gyozas) o ni això (fideus o arròs), però tocaven a dividir entre 4!!! I per colmo era lent, entre platet i platet ens havíem d'esperar massa pel poc que menjàvem. I així anar fent, sense postres. Beguda no inclosa .- 40€

Només al final, quan ens vam queixar, ens van portar algunes racions més. Però degut a les esperes acumulades, la majoria es va quedar amb certa gana. Per l'escassetat, algú el va definir com un "japonès català". Que et posin poc arròs o fideus (que és BARAT!!) o no tinguin el detall d'un xupito al final de tal circumstància, assoleix la rancietat.

No obstant això, pràcticament tot el local va estar per nosaltres i ens ho vam passar...
