Great experience. The meat quality is very good, we had the 58€ menu. It comes with noodles, 3 kind of meats, an additional small 3 pieces to taste for free. A dish of meat made for 3’, prawns, miso soup, mushroom soup with rice. You become full after the food. Very satisfying and 2 desserts. Loved the experience! Nothing disappointed is, Service was good too

We shared a lovely tasting menu from gyoza to A5 kobe beef. It was very delicious, good service and nice (small) setting. Recommended!

We had the “cheap” menu for 50 Euros and it was amazing. From beginning to the end everyone in the restaurant made an effort to make this evening an unforgettable experience. The food was delicious and versatile. I will definitely come back.

This is really WOW! I want to add that this restaurant is all about the experience! I am a real fan of Japanese cuisine, and have visited many such places. But I really liked the concept of this particular restaurant) We were offered 2 menu options, we chose the one for 90 euros per person. There were a lot of expectations for this menu, because there are not many dishes and you can make them very tasty, but it was just okay) I would really change the starters if I had the chance. After all, after the first 3 dishes, I felt very full and it was simply difficult to eat anything else. However, next was the most delicious - meat. The pieces of Kobe meat really impressed me so much that I can still feel the aftertaste. It was wonderful. Although the restaurant definitely has a lot to work on😌

Was it good? Yes. Was it worth the 70 euro per person? No. Good, not great. Everyone was pretty much in agreement here that it was more worth of 40-50 euro. Also, don't listen to the 5 second each side grill rec. Not enough time. Dessert was the best part!

Outstanding service and food. It was our first time in Barcelona and we wanted try something that was unique and special to celebrate our wedding anniversary - Carlota Akaneya was definitely the place for this. The atmosphere was exceptional and the service was amazing. As the very first moment we were greeted by the hostess to our dinning experience the servers were very tentative and informative of our next dish. The dishes were very tasty and unique in their approach in preparation and presentation. A must recommend if you want something unique and delicious.

(Translated by Google) Amazing!!! My favorite Japanese site in all of Barcelona. An excellent experience, the food is very good as is the attention. 5 stars. (Original) Increíble!!! Mi sitio japoneses preferido de toda Barcelona. Una excelente experiencia, la comida es muy buena igual que la atención. 5 estrellas.

It's perfect. I stayed in 5 Spain cities + >10 visits in Japan and they're at the highest standard - love their food, presentation and dedication to present the best Japanese experience in Barcelona. Not only they provide great beef but they also suggest you how to cook them.

An insult to Japanese cuisine. My (Japanese) husband and I visited this place a few days ago as we saw such high ratings on google, however this was the most disappointing meal we have ever had in Europe. We should have known better, after reading the negative reviews of mostly Asian people afterwards. To start with, the welcome upon entry was very fake and rushed. None of the staff were Japanese and it seemed like the staff that attended us were just taught a few sentences to say to try to show authenticity. However, a lot that they were saying were completely false. To begin with "Sumibiyaki" does not mean to grill at the table. It literally mean food that is cooked over charcoal fire. When we were led to the table, the waiter immediately gave us the drink menu and bluntly said that they didn't have cocktails. Which was fine, but this could have been said in a more friendly way , given the fact that you put items in your menu that you don't have. When the food came ( we had the 140 euro menu pp ), they served some edamame and a kamo namban with udon. This was the first sign that this was gonna be a bad night. The flavor had a very strong sour and sweet flavor, not like anything we have had in Japanese cuisine. After that followed the tonkatsu, which had more breading than meat. (See attached pictures) Then came the shabu shabu, which was basically the same broth as the kamo namban but just a little less sour. This is where we really shook our heads. First off, the waitress served a miniature cut of "Wagyu" which as you can see is smaller that a small piece of Shimeji mushroom. As she was serving this, she dropped one of the mushrooms on the table and casually put it back in the pot.... If it couldn't get any worse, a few seconds later she informed us that "The Japanese like to eat their rice in the soup" and proceeded to dunk a bowl of rice carelessly in our soup without asking us for our preference. Obviously being Japanese, we knew this was false. Then she served the meat (did not taste like Japanese Wagyu at all) which had an equivalent amount of Maldon seasalt and poured a sauce that she called "yakiniku", which was basically just teriyaki sauce. Please inform your staff that yakiniku is not a sauce... The "ichibo" was served in a weird dish with such a strong flavored marinade that it was not enjoyable. The only nice thing on this menu was the nigiri, where they actually serve you 10 grams each of real Japanese Kobe beef ;). When asked where the rest of the Wagyu came from, all the staff could say was Wagyu. As we are in the Wagyu business in Japan and had our fair share of Japanese Wagyu, those cuts were definitely not Japanese beef. Also, the "Crown Melon", that they take so much proud in mentioning throughout the whole meal ,served as dessert was nothing to write home about. You could get that same melon at the supermarket. Overall terrible food experience and an insult to the Japanese cuisine. Please teach your staff well, if you are trying to sell our authentic cuisine! Especially if you dare to charge your customers these prices for such low quality food.

The concept of this restaurant is well known in Japan, but seems to be unique in Europe: Sumibiyaki, Japanese Yakiniku with a charcoal table grill. The restaurant has a real japanese ambience with some japanese staff. Unfortunately, the only Wagyu that reached a good standard was the really expensive Kobe beef. It was comparable to good standard Wagyu beef I got for half the price in other places. All other Wagyu offers were below average with too little fat, actually similar to what I got in shops as spanish Wagyu, which also was not my favourite. Some of the Wagyu was topped with chive and sesame, even though I explicitly ordered the meat without any seasoning. The meat was cut too thin (especially the most tender ones) and fell apart on the grill, such that parts fell almost into the charcoal. There could also be much improvement on the Sencha green tea. Even when I instantly separated the tea leaves from the water, the tea was bitter and already lost its character. The tea was brewed with too hot water, maybe already too long and for sure with low quality Sencha - the price at the end (2.50€ for a teapot) confirmed this. The whole experience as a menu although was quite good. I especially enjoyed the Edamame on charcoal.

The place is good, but I had higher expectations. Many of the dishes are a little tasteless. Staff is great tho.

Authentic Japanese restaurant hidden in the Raval. Ambient: small, intimate, cosy, all tables have the inbuilt bbq. Service: very attentive and informative. Food. We had the Saikokyu fixed menu - 49euros x 2 Miso soup - enjoyable Noodles - not heavy nor too light - just the right amount - very tasty 4 chicken gyozas - soft delicate interplay of flavors 4 Shrimp in salt on bbq - mouthwatering 4 Different cuts of beef done on table bbq.plus 1 in a sauce. - very good. Desserts - acceptable 1 glass of house red' very good. An entertaining foodie experience. Recommended

(Translated by Google) Very good experience, we have been there a couple of times, and everything is always great (although I must admit that the dessert the first time we went had nothing to do with the second time). It has a Japanese charcoal grill in which you make wagyu meat, which is marinated in different ways. (Original) Muy buena experiencia, hemos ido ya un par de veces, y siempre está todo estupendo (aunque he de reconocer que el postre de la primera vez que fuimos no tenía nada que ver con el de la segunda vez). Tiene una parrilla japonesa de carbón vegetal en la que te haces la carne de wagyu, la cual está marinada de diferentes maneras.

We tried Munú Akaneya, I really like the soup, the beef was very fresh. Very good service, the most authentic Japanese restaurant I have ever tried in Barcelona. They follow the Japanese tradition and the way of enjoying food is subtle. The dessert were standard.

(Translated by Google) We celebrated my birthday here and it was a triumph. The treatment, the food, the atmosphere. We will repeat (Original) Celebramos aquí mi cumpleaños y fue un triunfo. El trato, la comida, el ambiente. Repetiremos

A very pleasant surprise. The whole experience was incredible. We took the Hyōgo menu and it was worth it. The Kobe Beef A5 was our favorite, of course. And the Crown Melon very tasteful. Recommended 100%. We will repeat for sure!

(Translated by Google) Very friendly waiters. Spectacular culinary experience! (Original) Cambrers molt simpàtics. Experiència culinària espectacular!

(Translated by Google) Very good food at a reasonable price given the quality of the product. Nice place and very well set. The impeccable service. (Original) Comida muy buena a precio razonable dada la calidad del producto. Local agradable y muy bien ambientado. El servicio impecable.

One of the best restaurants around town and especially when it comes to Japanese Wagyu beef which is simply out of this world here. All other dished are also meticulously prepared.

(Translated by Google) Very good place. Special (Original) Molt bon lloc. Especial

It's not easy to get one of their 9 tables in this unique sumibiyaki. Food, decoration and service are top. The only reason I haven't give them the 5 star is because they give you a limited time to eat, which is good enough for going through the short menu (2.30h)but does not allow you to have a conversation after eating as they need the table for the next costumer. Good enough if you are a fast eater but if you go with friends you might have to continue the night and conversation in another place, which was my case. I understand that the restaurant being small and the product top quality, they need to have several turns. It's their choice. I will be back though.

(Translated by Google) Very good experience. Impeccable attention next to an excellent meal. I will return without a doubt. (Original) Muy buena experiencia. Atención impecable junto a una comida excelente. Volveré sin duda.

A very pleasant experience. Everything on the menu was amazing, attention was detailed oriented and friendly and the whole meal is a complete experience to all the senses. Completely worth it and recommended.

it was definitely an experience. we took the menu with the kobe beef. great presentation, and staff tries to give the most authentic experience. food was tasty too!

The food is as awesome as it is the food. 100% recommended for special occasions as it is not cheap at all. Also, I was worried I was not going to find options as I don’t eat meat, but I have to say I am more than happy with what I had 😌

It’s an experience that I would recommend. Overall we were satisfied and had a good time and of course good food. I don’t feel like giving 5 stars because I personally think that there were a few details still missing to reach a perfect experience, the experience you expect when you try a restaurant with only tasting menu option (one example: why sharing one dessert between two?)

This restaurant is a must try. The food is excellent quality and the service is also very pleasant. There are two tasting menus with incredible selection of wagyu meat. Also the place has a special melon that is very expensive and they are very proud of. A slice of that melon comes as a dessert. Very recommended! Enjoy?

Our favourite restaurant of the city. Japanese bbq, service is amazing and food quality one of the best. You'll go out with some smoke smell (even though ventilation is great), so beware. Menu is expensive, but the most expensive (Kobe) is completely worth it

Amazing experience, great value for the price you pay. I would definitely recommend for a romantic date or with a small group of friends/family if you enjoy fine dining-like experiences.

We had the Hyogo menu and it was fantastic. The whole experience was something special with one surprise after another. The service was great and as it was my birthday I got an extra cake 😊 If you thinking about to visit Charlotta Akaneya - stop thinking and book a table!

Great service, staff is very friendly and explains everything very well (Spanish & English). The food is delicious and the presentation is wonderful, 5 stars!

We recently dined at this restaurant, and the experience was truly delightful. The quality of the food and service were exceptional. We was particularly impressed by the exclusive offerings, such as the A-5 Kobe beef. It was a highly gratifying experience.

Excellent choice! After a complete menu, i still have some room for more meat. Ii will be nice if they ll hav a menu for additional meat to order after the menu.

Had a wonderful time at this restaurant. It is pricey, however you get a good selection of Wagyu cuts and Kobe beef. The atmosphere was nice and cozy - small place, but the quaintness helps deliver more privacy. Me and my guest enjoyed the meal very much.

The food and service was amazing. Although there are some details that can make your experience a bit uncomfortable: first, tables do not have enough space to put the legs (tall people will suffer), then you’ll smell meat scent during all dinner (and you’ll bring it back home with you) and finally there are some places on the table with no light at all (I had dinner in the dark). Overall the experience was awesome but in these kind of restaurants all details matter, specially if they make you feel a tiny discomfort during all dinner.

one of the better Japanese place !! reminds me of Osaka, ,, cute little BBQ place , price is not cheap but not expansive !! , I think is all depends on the ingredient but I enjoy this little place.. you can see they serious want to create a special experience not your typical japanese place , but worth a try.

Una experiencia diferente. Son muy amables. El menú degustación es muy completo. Muy recomendable.

Very good experience, staff is very nice and food is great.

(Translated by Google) Very little ventilation, it is not prepared for the safety of diners in the current health situation. (Original) Muy poca ventilación, no está preparado para la seguridad de los comensales frente a la situación actual sanitaria.

(Translated by Google) Excellent quality. Italian waiter a little weird, the singing roll is left over. (Original) Excelente calidad. Camarero italiano un poco raro, l rollo del canto sobra tb.

Don't expect sushi, but expect an authentic japanese place with a superb service and fantastic quality ingredients. Finest quality japanese meat ready to be prepared the traditional way.

(Translated by Google) The meats were very good, but I was disappointed that they brought me a tonkatso (fried pork loin) for starter on the € 69 menu! The shabushabu very poor for what I expected and the chicken guides are very average! (Original) Las carnes estaban muyyy bien, pero me decepciono que me trajeran un tonkatso( lomo de cerdo frito) de entrante en el menu de 69€ ! El shabushabu muy pobre para lo que esperaba y las guiosas de pollo están muy normales!

Excelente comida y también excelente trato. Un 10!

(Translated by Google) Worth going, quality 10 to enjoy, Japanese barbecue! Exquisite! We will repeat without a doubt (Original) Vale la pena ir, calidad de 10 para disfrutar , barbacoa japonesa ! Exquisito ! Repetiremos sin duda

A different Japanese, don’t expect makis . Great quality and worth the experience. Will definitely recommend

Good food and nice ambiance. Pricey considering the small quantities but that tend to be the norm with fine dinning places.

Fantastic place to have something when in a rush. Their customer service is quick, prices are fair, excellent vibes. Will come visit again

Very nice authentic restaurant. Super meat selection. Reasonable price (not expensive), nice ambience and services!

We loved the experience and the food. ? 100% recommend

Absolutely amazing. There were two choices of menu, we took the more expensive one with the A5 beef and it was an experience to remember. Although the price is high and not for everyday dining, we will be back for sure. Congratulations on a job well done.

A very memorable dining experience. Incredible food and excellent service!

An enjoyable experience with a dedicated and well-trained staff. Excellent food and an awesome atmosphere.

(Translated by Google) Amazing! It reminded me of a trip to Japan in which I enjoyed an exquisite barbecue. All very good, very attentive staff. It is quite an experience. Definitely worth it. (Original) Increible! Me recordó a un viaje a japón en el que disfruté de una barbacoa esquisita. Todo muy bueno, el personal muy atento. Es toda una experiencia. Sin duda, vale la pena.

(Translated by Google) For me the best Japanese in Barcelona. Not only does it eat incredibly well but it is a great experience. The menus are very complete, the treatment is impeccable and the place is super authentic. Just entering and the smell of barbecue and rosemary invades you, one pass. We were 2 couples, which allowed us to take both menus and try everything. I recommend that you do not skip the desserts, especially the Yuzu and then download it all with a little Sake. Although they have two shifts it is always full so you have to book a little in advance. We will definitely return. (Original) Para mí el mejor japonés de Barcelona. No solo se come increíblemente bien sino que es una gran experiencia. Los menús son muy completos, el trato es impecable y el local súper auténtico. Solo entrar ya te invade el olor a barbacoa y romero, una pasada. Fuimos 2 parejas, lo que nos permitió coger los dos menús y probarlo todo. Recomiendo que no os saltéis los postres, especialmente el Yuzu y luego bajarlo todo con un poco de Sake. Aunque tienen dos turnos siempre está lleno así que hay que reservar con un poco de antelación. Sin duda volveremos.

(Translated by Google) Simply spectacular. For the atmosphere, as for the treatment of the waiters, and especially for the quality of service and food. They take you to real Japan, we will repeat for sure. (Original) Senzillament espectacular. Per l’ambient, com pel tracte dels cambrers, i sobretot per la qualitat del servei i el menjar. Et traslladen a l autèntic Japó, repetirem segur.

good service, food is good but over priced (70e for one menu with lot of courses but very tiny quantity) don t go there if you are hungry and on a budget it is not generous ,and too expensive for what it is. I don't recommend

(Translated by Google) Spectacular how they transmit the ritual of savoring the meat. Both times I have been with my partner we have chosen the tasting menu and it has been a total success (Original) Espectacular como transmiten el ritual de saborear la carne. Las dos veces que he ido con mi pareja hemos elegido el menú desgustación y ha sido un éxito total

(Translated by Google) Ideal and great (Original) Ideal y buenísimo

(Translated by Google) Spectacular as always ? (Original) Espectacular como siempre ?

(Translated by Google) A Japanese-style venue, with its sliding door and curtain, in the center of the table a bell for making meat and the waiters welcome you loudly and say goodbye. Very good meat. (Original) Un local al estilo japones, con su puerta corredera y su cortina, en el centro de la mesa una campana para hacer la carne y los camareros te dan la bienvenida a grito alto y se despiden. La carne muy buena.

(Translated by Google) It's all a surprise !!!! As if you were in Japan. I do not count more, I only say that it is SUPER DIFFERENT TO EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SEEN UNTIL TODAY. (Original) Es todo una sorpresa!!!! Como si estuvieras en Japon. No cuento mas, solo digo que es SUPER DIFERENTE A TODO LO QUE HAS VISTO HASTA EL DIA DE HOY.

(Translated by Google) The quality of the food is excellent, good product, very good flavor. It is not a Japanese sushi (for those who do not know it). It specializes in meats (among other things). It is the second time that we go and we will continue going. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Japan, with those touches of wood. The service is excellent, attentive and polite. Always waiting for the diner. They have included cocktails that are recommended to try since they are different from those you can find elsewhere. Recommended! (Original) La calidad de la comida es excelente, buen producto, muy buen sabor. No es un japonés de sushi (para el que no lo conozca). Se especializa en carnes (entre otras cosas). Es la segunda vez que vamos y seguiremos yendo. El ambiente recuerda a Japón, con esos toques de madera. El servicio es excelente, atentos y educados. Siempre pendientes del comensal. Han incluido cocktails que se recomiendan probar ya que son diferentes de los que puedes encontrar en otros sitios. Recomendado!

(Translated by Google) A spectacular site with unbeatable service. The quality of the food (Japanese meats, seafood and vegetables) is the best on the market. And the staff is so nice, polite and passionate about what they do, it's a pleasure !! As a detail, at the end of the dinner, they gave us an envelope with a thank you, handwritten by the owners, for having gone in the season of lack of confidence. (Original) Un sitio espectacular con un servicio inmejorable. La calidad de la comida (carnes, marisco y verduras japonesas) es de lo mejor del mercado. Y el personal es tan agradable, educado y apasionado por lo que hacen, que da gusto!! Como detallazo, al finalizar la cena, nos dieron un sobre con un agradecimiento, escrito a mano por los propietarios, por haber ido en temporada de desconfinamiento.

(Translated by Google) Overrated. It is going to eat the famous Kobe wagyu, well, the pimera on the forehead because it is not Kobe. There are two menus, the expensive and the cheap, 40 and 70 euros respectively. Per person eye! There is no relationship between the 150 euros I paid and what we ate. The wagyu is delicious, but it is almost wagyu carpaccio, it will be about 2mm thick, that cut causes changes in the flavor, do not expect 1.5 or 2 cm thick. The other dishes on the menu are standard nothing to highlight, except the prawns that are delicious. They put two on you. The service was excellent, professional and highly coordinated waiters, all of them super-friendly and attentive. But what a high price for what you eat said, OVERRATED. I have eaten better in all respects for much less. Another thing to note is that the site is closed, there are no open windows, something that with the covid should be forced. (Original) Sobrevaloradisimo. Es ir para comerte el famoso wagyu de Kobe, bueno pues la pimera en la frente porque no es Kobe. Hay dos menús, el caro y el barato, 40 y 70 euros respectivamente. Por persona ojo! No existe relación entre los 150 euros que pagué y lo que comimos. El wagyu está delicioso, pero es casi carpaccio de wagyu, tendra unos 2mm de espesor, ese corte provoca cambios en el sabor, no os esperéis 1.5 o 2 cm de grosos. Los demás platos del menú son estándar nada a destacar, salvo las gambas que estan exquisitas. Te ponen dos. El servicio fue excelente, camarer@s profesionales y muy coordinados, todos ellos superamables y atentos. Pero lo que decia un precio elevado para lo que comes, SOBREVALORADO. He comido mejor en todos los aspectos por mucho menos. Otra cosa a destacar es que el sitio esta cerrado, no hay ventanas abiertas, algo que con lo del covid deberia ser obligado.

top!!
