In 2026, it earned the Tabelog Bronze award and was recognized as one of the top 100 Spanish restaurants. Chef Higashi created this place to nurture young talent, and it is energetically run by three young chefs: Chef Kozuka, Chef Miyashita, and Chef Tanaka.Here’s what I enjoyed this time:- Galician-style Octopus → In Spain, a dish made with octopus and potatoes is referred to as Galician-style. The creaminess and sweetness of the potatoes were wonderful.- Charcoal-grilled Managatsuo → The aroma of charcoal, the sweetness of the Managatsuo, and the acidity of the vinegar created a perfect balance. (^ ^)- Bocadillo → This time, it was fried swordfish with homemade aioli sauce.- Fried Eggplant with Ajo Blanco → I absolutely love the garlic-infused cream!!- Alitas de Pollo → The aroma of paprika powder was delightful. Although it was two pieces per person, they were so delicious I could eat them endlessly.- Homemade bread with smoked butter - Escabeche → Fried young sweetfish served with vegetables like apples pickled in nanban vinegar.- Sirloin cap steak from Omi beef → A 51-month-old female cow lovingly raised by Mr. Okazaki.- Hamo in Caldoso → The aroma of hamo (pike eel) was absolutely amazing!! I prefer this over the hamo served in Japanese cuisine.- Hairy Crab Paella → My favorite paella is made with sanma (saury), but this hairy crab version was also excellent!!- Goat milk ice cream and Catalana → This time, I had the goat milk ice cream offered at Nihonbashi aca along with Catalana.- Herbal tea → Very strong. They refill the herbal tea when it runs out.All the chefs were delightful, and I’m looking forward to my next visit! (＾Ｏ＾) It was a rare occasion where all the customers at the counter were men, which was quite amusing!
