2 japanese places in Barcelona we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Barcelona | Japanese across every city.

Japanese cooking in Barcelona is a small but high-quality presence, concentrated in the central neighbourhoods. Koy Shunka in the Gotic is the city's reference kitchen for Japanese technique applied with Mediterranean produce. Ramen-Ya Hiro in Sant Antoni covers the more casual, noodle-led end of the same scene.
