# Best Sushi in Madrid > Sixteen Madrid restaurants for sushi and nigiri, from Michelin-starred counters like Toki and Sen Omakase to good-value izakaya sushi in Lavapiés. - **Canonical URL:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/best-sushi - **City:** Madrid, Spain - **Published:** 2026-09-27 - **Updated:** 2026-10-04 - **Author:** Justin Mota, Guidavera founder - **Reading time:** 15 min ## Introduction Toki runs its whole Michelin-starred menu around a six-seat sushi counter and what it calls a journey through time around rice, three historical styles of vinegar and sugar served across a single omakase. It's one of sixteen Madrid restaurants on this list, chosen because sushi or nigiri is a real, current, core part of what they cook, not a side note on a wider Asian menu. Four hold a Michelin star for exactly that: Toki, Sen Omakase, Ugo Chan and Yugo the Bunker. Several more carry Michelin's Selected badge or a Repsol Sol, and a few are simply good, consistent counters that consensus among Madrid's food press keeps naming. ## Key picks at a glance - **Best Michelin-starred sushi counter** — [Toki](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/toki): a six-seat bar built around three historical styles of sushi rice, from a 2024 French sushi champion. - **Best aged-fish specialist** — [Otoro Jukusei](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/otoro-jukusei): toro matured for up to 80 days before it reaches the counter. - **Best Edo-style omakase** — [Ebisu by Kobos](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ebisu-by-kobos): a single set menu from an itamae trained under Norihito Endo in Japan. - **Best Spanish-Japanese nigiri crossovers** — [Tora](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/tora): footballer Mario Hermoso's counter, with caramelised toro nigiri and a wagyu-callos ramen. - **Best value** — [Yokaloka](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/yokaloka): a Repsol Solete pick in Lavapiés. - **Best relaxed hotel counter** — [Kyoshi Las Cortes](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/kyoshi-las-cortes): Ricardo Sanz's more casual Japanese-Spanish format inside Hotel Las Cortes. ## A guide to Sushi in Madrid ### What is omakase? Omakase is a Japanese dining format where the diner leaves the choice of courses to the chef rather than ordering from a menu. Several restaurants on this list, including Toki, Sen Omakase, Ebisu by Kobos, Otoro Jukusei and Zuara Sushi, run entirely on a single omakase sequence with no à la carte option. ### What is nigiri? Nigiri is a hand-pressed oblong of vinegared rice topped with a slice of fish, shellfish or other ingredient, usually eaten in one bite. It's the sushi format most of the restaurants on this list build their reputation on, as opposed to rolled maki or sliced sashimi. ### What does itamae mean? Itamae is the Japanese term for a trained sushi chef, literally someone who stands in front of the cutting board. Several counters here name their itamae directly: Tino Singharaj at Toki, Diego Endika López at Otoro Jukusei, and Kobos Cortés at Ebisu by Kobos. ### What is jukusei? Jukusei is the Japanese technique of aging or maturing raw fish under controlled conditions to intensify its flavor and soften its texture. Otoro Jukusei, named for the practice, matures its toro for as long as 80 days before serving it as sushi. ### Which Madrid sushi restaurants hold a Michelin star? Four restaurants on this list carry a Michelin star specifically for their Japanese sushi and omakase cooking: Toki, Sen Omakase, Ugo Chan and Yugo the Bunker. A handful of others, including Otoro Jukusei, Ta-kumi Madrid, Sushi Bar Hannah, Ebisu by Kobos, Tora and Shibari Sushi and Grill, carry Michelin's Selected badge without a star. > "Four of these restaurants hold a Michelin star for sushi and omakase alone, from a six-seat counter built around three eras of rice to a hidden bunker with no vegetarian option." ## How we built this list We built this list by reading five editorial sources covering sushi and Japanese restaurants in Madrid, in Spanish and English, and cross-checking every restaurant they named against the restaurants we've profiled. A restaurant only made the list if its own page (about, cuisine, menus) confirmed sushi or nigiri as a real, current part of what it cooks, not just a stray menu line, and if it's currently open. Where a source's claim, an address, an award or a price, didn't match our own venue data, we either verified it independently or left it out. Two restaurants cited by two or more sources, Nanako in Chamberí and Kaito in Salamanca, don't have a Guidavera page yet, so we've left them out rather than invent a page for them; a Kabuki location was named by two sources at two different addresses and we couldn't confirm which one, so it's excluded too. ## The 16 best Sushi, compared | # | Restaurant | Neighbourhood | Price | Distinction | Signature dish | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Toki](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/toki) | Trafalgar | €€€€ | Michelin 1-Star | Shunkan omakase menu | | 2 | [Sen Omakase](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/sen-omakase) | Nueva España | €€€€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol | Nigiri assortment (turbot, tuna, sea bream) | | 3 | [Otoro Jukusei](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/otoro-jukusei) | Almagro | €€€€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol 1 Sol | Umi omakase (15 courses) | | 4 | [Ugo Chan](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ugo-chan) | Nueva España | €€€€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 2 Soles | Mullet sashimi served on the bone | | 5 | [Yugo the Bunker](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/yugo-the-bunker) | Barrio de las Letras | €€€€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol Recomendado | Toro nigiri with crispy plankton | | 6 | [Sushi Bar Hannah](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/sushi-bar-hannah) | Recoletos | €€€€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol Recomendado | — | | 7 | [Ebisu by Kobos](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ebisu-by-kobos) | La Latina | €€€€ | Michelin Selected | Single omakase menu | | 8 | [Ta-kumi Madrid](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ta-kumi-madrid) | Castellana | €€€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol Recomendado | Toro with quail egg yolk and truffle | | 9 | [Tora](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/tora) | Castellana | €€€€ | Michelin Selected | Caramelised toro nigiri with oyster sauce and ginger | | 10 | [Shibari Sushi and Grill](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/shibari-sushi-and-grill) | Embajadores | €€ | Michelin Selected | Wagyu gyoza with tofu kimchi | | 11 | [Ikigai](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ikigai) | Palacio | €€€ | Repsol 1 Sol | Mock sardine and escabeche nigiri | | 12 | [Kyoshi Las Cortes](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/kyoshi-las-cortes) | Cortes | €€€ | Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 13 | [Zuara Sushi](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/zuara-sushi) | Ríos Rosas | €€€€ | — | Zuara tasting menu | | 14 | [99 Sushi Bar Eurobuilding](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/99-sushi-bar-eurobuilding) | Hispanoamérica | €€€ | — | Toro tartare with Caspian Pearl caviar | | 15 | [Sr. Ito](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/sr-ito) | Justicia | €€ | — | Special Sea Bream Sashimi (20 slices) | | 16 | [Yokaloka](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/yokaloka) | Lavapiés | €€ | Repsol Solete | Sushi | ## The 16 best Sushi in Madrid ### 1. Toki *Six-seat Michelin counter built around sushi's history* - **Neighbourhood:** Trafalgar - **Address:** C/ Sagasta, 28, 28004 Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin 1-Star - **Website:** https://www.restaurantetoki.com/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/toki Toki is one of several Michelin-starred restaurants owned by Asturian businessman Marcos Granda, built around founding itamae Tadayoshi Motoa. Tino Singharaj, the 2024 Champion de France de Sushi, has led the six-seat sushi counter since December 2024. The single omakase menu, Shunkan, runs 249 euros a person and moves through three historical styles of sushi rice: a 21st-century style with white vinegar, salt and sugar, an 18th-century style with akasu red vinegar, cane sugar and salt, and a 16th-century style using only vinegar and salt. It's served Wednesday to Saturday, lunch and dinner, with no à la carte and no vegetarian or vegan options. Ángel Gutiérrez runs the dining room, and Toki holds a Michelin star. **Order:** - Shunkan omakase menu > "sushiman Tino Singharaj, campeón de Francia 2024, nos guía, a través del menú Aki no Omakase" — Michelin Guide España ### 2. Sen Omakase *Kaiseki-trained omakase with a formal tea ceremony* - **Neighbourhood:** Nueva España - **Address:** C. de Sta. María Magdalena, 14, 28016 Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol - **Website:** https://senomakase.com/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/sen-omakase Sen Omakase is built as an immersion in Japan through art, culture and food. It opened in May 2024 and won its Michelin star in the 2025 guide. Chef Steven Bosen Wu was born in Palma de Mallorca to a restaurant family and trained in Spain and Belgium before heading to the Tokyo Sushi Academy and then Kyoto, where he worked at the Michelin-starred, nine-generation kaiseki restaurant Uosaburo. He also won the Itamae sushi competition organised by Balfegó. The omakase, served across four rooms, follows the kaiseki philosophy of seasonality: Hashiri, the first arrival of a season's flavours, Shun, their peak, and Nagori, tasting a product for the last time. The menu runs from takoyaki through a nigiri assortment spanning turbot, tuna and sea bream, an eel temaki, and lobster in a wagyu butter sauce. Sommelier Hilda Olvera directs a formal tea ceremony built into the tasting. Sen Omakase holds a Michelin star and a Repsol Sol. **Order:** - Nigiri assortment (turbot, tuna, sea bream) - Eel temaki - Lobster in wagyu butter sauce > "chef Steven Wu, formado en Tokio y Kioto, ofrece un menú Omakase sorpresa, que sigue la tradición Kaiseki" — Michelin Guide España ### 3.

Itamae Diego Endika López controls the temperature and timing of each piece and takes the toro to maturations of as long as 80 days. It runs as an omakase bar in three lengths: Umi at 80 euros for fifteen courses, Tochi at 140 euros for sixteen with an extra of caviar and A5 wagyu tataki over binchotan charcoal, and Hoshi at 190 euros for seventeen courses. Each menu folds in caviar, wagyu and black truffle alongside the aged-fish sushi, with dessert included and the pairing charged separately. The chef sets the running order and the season sets the fish. Otoro Jukusei is Michelin Selected and carries a Repsol Sol. **Order:** - Umi omakase (15 courses) - Tochi omakase (16 courses) - Hoshi omakase (17 courses) ### 4. Ugo Chan *Michelin star, chef trained in nigiri by Ricardo Sanz* - **Neighbourhood:** Nueva España - **Address:** Félix Boix, 6 28036 Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 2 Soles - **Website:** https://ugochan.com/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ugo-chan Ugo Chan opened in Nueva España in 2021 and won its Michelin star about a year later, at the November 2022 gala for the 2023 guide. The name comes from chef Hugo Muñoz's maternal grandfather, who had trading ties with Japan and nicknamed him 'Hugochan' as a boy. Muñoz trained under Abraham García at Viridiana and learned nigiri technique from Ricardo Sanz, ran KBK, and did a stint at Zuma in London before opening on his own; he won the Emerging Chef award in 2016. The menu runs from an onion soup in smoked bonito consommé with aged Comté through mullet sashimi served on the bone, mussels sunomono with smoked beef tongue and seaweed, and a lamb kebab temaki with charred sweetbreads. The carta shifts with the season and the mood of its suppliers. Ugo Chan holds a Michelin star and two Repsol Soles. **Order:** - Mullet sashimi served on the bone - Mussels sunomono with smoked beef tongue - Lamb kebab temaki with charred sweetbreads ### 5. Yugo the Bunker *Michelin star, two nigiri-heavy tasting menus* - **Neighbourhood:** Barrio de las Letras - **Address:** Calle San Blas, 4, 28014 Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin 1-Star · Repsol Recomendado - **Website:** https://www.yugothebunker.com/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/yugo-the-bunker Yugo the Bunker is a two-part restaurant: an upstairs izakaya, casual and manga-bright, and a hidden downstairs bunker built as what the kitchen calls a small rebellion against a world that moves too fast. It began in 2013 on Calle Alcalá as Yugo Sushi&Kobe, a takeaway. Chef Julián Mármol chases exclusive product from Alaska and Japan to Portugal and the Delta del Ebro. Two tasting menus split the offering: Clásicos del Bunker at 145 euros, running negitoro with crispy wonton, toro nigiri with crispy plankton and black cod misoyaki gyoza, and Evolution at 175 euros, adding smoked caviar otoro nigiri and aged beef with kimchi and bone marrow. House rules keep the focus tight: everyone at a table orders the same menu, only guests aged eight and up are seated, and there's no vegetarian or vegan option. Yugo the Bunker holds a Michelin star and a Repsol Recomendado. **Order:** - Toro nigiri with crispy plankton - Black cod misoyaki gyoza - Smoked caviar otoro nigiri > "La carta de presentación de Yugo the Bunker es su materia prima, de una calidad extraordinaria" — Madrid Secreto ### 6. Sushi Bar Hannah *Traditional Edo-style nigiri, fish matured on imported paper* - **Neighbourhood:** Recoletos - **Address:** C. del Marqués de Villamagna, 1, Salamanca, 28001 Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected · Repsol Recomendado - **Website:** https://www.sushibarhannah.com/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/sushi-bar-hannah Sushi Bar Hannah works the traditional end of the sushi spectrum rather than the fusion end, from an address on Calle del Marqués de Villamagna among Salamanca's more formal dining rooms. It opened in 2017 with London-born chef Janek Flemyng at the counter. The kitchen builds nigiri on seasonal fish matured in imported Japanese paper, served individually so each piece hits the right temperature. Tempura is fried in a copper nabe that keeps oil to a minimum, alongside a charcoal grill worked to traditional Japanese technique. It runs as tasting menus of 11 or 20 courses, taking in wagyu, eel and fresh seafood, with a cocktail list alongside. Sushi Bar Hannah is Michelin Selected, recommended in the Guía Repsol, and ranked #657 on OAD's Europe Top Restaurants 2025. ### 7. Ebisu by Kobos *Edo-style omakase, one set menu, no choosing* - **Neighbourhood:** La Latina - **Address:** Luciente, 14, 28005, Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected - **Website:** https://www.ebisubykobos.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ebisu-by-kobos Ebisu by Kobos frames omakase as the relationship of trust between diner and itamae: the diner hands over the choice, and the chef answers with the best he has. That's the base here, one set menu, no choosing, handed across a small, intimate counter in La Latina. Kobos Cortés runs the counter; he worked at the Edo-style sushi bar Ebisu Endo in Japan under chef Norihito Endo, and the restaurant takes its name from that room. The kitchen names technique, product and season as its three pillars, working Japanese tradition onto fish from Spanish waters and pushing sushi towards what it calls its purest expression. The single omakase menu runs 200 euros. Ebisu by Kobos is listed in the Michelin Guide as Selected. **Order:** - Single omakase menu ### 8. Ta-kumi Madrid *Michelin-listed sushi bar built for lunch meetings* - **Neighbourhood:** Castellana - **Address:** Calle de Claudio Coello, 114, Madrid, 28006, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected · Repsol Recomendado - **Website:** https://www.restaurantetakumi.com/madrid2.html - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ta-kumi-madrid Ta-kumi Madrid sits on Calle de Claudio Coello, on the Castellana side of Salamanca, in a contemporary room with a sushi bar, two rooms on different floors and a private room. Álvaro Arbeloa and chef Toshio Tsutsui opened it in 2022, the third Ta-kumi after Marbella and Málaga. The cooking is Japanese in a tasting-menu format, ingredient-led rather than showy. The Matsuri menu runs 105 euros and moves through a natural or panko-crusted oyster with ponzu sauce, toro with quail egg yolk and truffle, scarlet shrimp sashimi with its roasted head, a sashimi moriawase of usuzukuri and hirazukuri cuts, and a six-piece sushi selection. There's a cocktail list and vegetarian options alongside. Ta-kumi Madrid is listed in the Michelin Guide as Selected and recommended in the Guía Repsol. **Order:** - Toro with quail egg yolk and truffle - Scarlet shrimp sashimi with its roasted head - Sashimi moriawase > "barra de sushi, dos salas en diferentes pisos y un reservado" — Michelin Guide España ### 9.

It runs an intimate counter seating around ten. Behind it is footballer and businessman Mario Hermoso, for whom it's a first venture into hospitality. Sashimi and nigiri go by the piece, including fusion nigiri like caramelised toro with oyster sauce and ginger, wagyu A5 with foie, and tuna smoked over charcoal. Around that: Gillardeau oysters with ponzu and ikura, gyoza filled with morcilla asturiana and pears cooked in red wine, usuzukuri, tartares, temaki and tataki. The lunch-only dish is a shio ramen made with wagyu callos a la madrileña, and puddings run to a French torrija with violet ice cream, and mochi. Tora is listed in the Michelin Guide as Selected. **Order:** - Caramelised toro nigiri with oyster sauce and ginger - Wagyu A5 nigiri with foie - Shio ramen with wagyu callos a la madrileña > "Se reinterpretan los platos tradicionales japoneses con un toque español" — Madrid Secreto ### 10.

Contemporary Japanese cooking runs an omakase tasting menu alongside the carta, with a robata charcoal grill at the centre, a Japanese tradition that cooks over vegetable charcoal at high heat without flame. The menu spans wagyu gyoza with tofu kimchi, hamachi tataki, agedashi tofu, and red prawn nigiri served with the whole head and shell on a natural shell plate. Shibari Sushi and Grill is listed in the Michelin Guide as Selected. **Order:** - Wagyu gyoza with tofu kimchi - Hamachi tataki - Red prawn nigiri > "tan bueno el sushi como la robata" — Con el Morro Fino ### 11. Ikigai *Nagahira's original counter, omakase or order your own* - **Neighbourhood:** Palacio - **Address:** Flor Baja 5, 28013, Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Distinction:** Repsol 1 Sol - **Website:** http://restauranteikigai.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/ikigai Ikigai is the workshop of chef Yong Wu Nagahira, hidden behind a staircase in central Madrid, just off Gran Vía. Chef Nagahira opened it in 2018 as his first restaurant. The proposal turns on freedom for both chef and diner: order your own way, or leave it to Nagahira's omakase, a tasting menu the kitchen describes as a sensory experience that's never repeated twice. Nagahira, born to a Chinese father and a Japanese mother and raised in Jaén, cooks Japanese haute cuisine with French and Spanish touches. The Menú Korto runs 69 euros a person, opening with a wonton with Russian salad and trout roe and a mock sardine and escabeche nigiri. Ikigai carries a Repsol Sol. **Order:** - Mock sardine and escabeche nigiri - Wonton with Russian salad and trout roe > "nigiris y gunkans de pescados que no sabías que se podían comer crudos" — Madrid Secreto ### 12.

The logo, like those of the group's starred restaurants, is drawn from a light stroke suggesting a nigiri, by artist Abraham Lacalle. The cooking is Japanese-Spanish fusion in the style of the rest of Ricardo Sanz's group, served in a more relaxed setting meant to reach a wider audience. Kyoshi Las Cortes carries a Repsol Sol. > "ambiente y servicio más desenfadado" — Hola ### 13. Zuara Sushi *Omakase counter, nigiri progression, now on the Castellana* - **Neighbourhood:** Ríos Rosas - **Address:** Paseo de la Castellana 57 (Hyatt Regency Hesperia Madrid), 28046 Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Website:** https://zuarasushi.com/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/zuara-sushi Zuara Sushi is chef David Arauz's own project, opened with sommelier Álvaro Prieto as an intimate counter on Calle del Pensamiento in Tetuán, and has since moved to Paseo de la Castellana 57. Arauz trained at Japanese kitchens in Spain, including Suntory and Abama Kabuki, before striking out on his own. The format is omakase: everyone at the wooden counter follows the same tasting-menu sequence, cooked and cold courses building to a nigiri progression of premium fish, prepared with Japanese precision and very sharp knives. There are two menus, Zuara and Shibui. **Order:** - Zuara tasting menu - Shibui tasting menu > "sencillez, calidad y elegancia del sushi" — Madrid Secreto ### 14. 99 Sushi Bar Eurobuilding *Michelin-covered sushi room near the Bernabéu* - **Neighbourhood:** Hispanoamérica - **Address:** Padre Damián, 23, 28036, Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Website:** https://www.99sushibar.com/99-sushi-bar-padre-damian/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/99-sushi-bar-eurobuilding 99 Sushi Bar Eurobuilding sits on Padre Damián in Hispanoamérica, the residential stretch of northern Madrid near the Bernabéu. The room reads quiet, refined and modern rather than dramatic, built as much for a date as a group, with a tasting counter for sitting close to the work and a terrace for good weather. The kitchen is ingredient-led rather than about volume, and it's covered in the Michelin Guide's roundup of Madrid's Japanese restaurants. It runs lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday and on public holidays, with Sunday limited to lunch. The tasting menu runs 115 euros a person for a minimum of two, moving through capuchino de miso, toro tartare with Caspian Pearl caviar, wild boar gyoza, gratinated Alaskan king crab, tiger prawn tempura, smoked Iberian pork belly nigiri, and wagyu beef nigiri. **Order:** - Toro tartare with Caspian Pearl caviar - Smoked Iberian pork belly nigiri - Wagyu beef nigiri > "elaboraciones clásicas japonesas de gran calidad, pero también algunas más singulares, como sus Gyozas de jabalí" — Michelin Guide España ### 15. Sr. Ito *Modern Japanese sushi and cocktails in Justicia* - **Neighbourhood:** Justicia - **Address:** Calle de Pelayo, 60, 28004 Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Website:** https://srito.es/srito/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/sr-ito Sr. Ito is a modern Japanese restaurant and cocktail bar on Calle de Pelayo, in the Justicia neighbourhood near Chueca. The kitchen spans sushi and sashimi, tuna and prawn tartares, gyozas, tempura and baos, with a cocktail list to open, including a sake mojito and a house drink called La Coketa. The sashimi runs to a special sea bream cut in twenty slices and an assorted plate of tuna, salmon, butterfish and scallops, alongside a spicy tuna tartare with egg yolk. It's a compact, modern room built as much for drinks as for dinner, open every day for lunch and dinner, later on Friday and Saturday, and runs around 26 to 50 euros a person. **Order:** - Special Sea Bream Sashimi (20 slices) - Assorted sashimi (tuna, salmon, butterfish, scallops) - Special tuna tartare with egg yolk > "Menos ortodoxo, menos purista, muy divertido" — Con el Morro Fino ### 16. Yokaloka *Market sushi-and-ramen bar at Antón Martín, Repsol Solete* - **Neighbourhood:** Lavapiés - **Address:** Santa Isabel, 5, 28012, Madrid, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Distinction:** Repsol Solete - **Website:** https://yokaloka.com/mercado - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/yokaloka Yokaloka's sushi and ramen bar sits inside the Mercado de Antón Martín, at Calle de Santa Isabel 5, and holds a Solete in the Guía Repsol, which calls it perhaps the closest thing in Madrid to Japanese street food. Behind the informality there's careful cooking: sushi, ramen with a deep broth and balanced heat, house gyoza and chirashi bowls, in a space that leans into Japanese pop culture. It serves lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday and closes Sundays. The group's other address, Yokaloka Matute on Plaza de Matute, is a separate Japanese taberna and sake bar with its own carta. **Order:** - Sushi - Chirashi bowls - House gyoza > "Elaboración cuidadísima" — Madrid Secreto ## Honourable mentions - **[Masa Naomi](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/masa-naomi)** (Cuatro Caminos) — Izakaya-style Japanese in Cuatro Caminos with yakitori, sashimi and sushi alongside rice bowls like unagidon and katsudon. - **[Akiro](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/akiro)** (Recoletos) — Japanese nikkei sharing plates on Calle Hermosilla in Recoletos, walk-in friendly, open seven days for lunch and dinner. - **[Mateo Honten](https://guidavera.com/spain/madrid/restaurants/mateo-honten)** (Justicia) — A small Japanese kitchen on Calle San Mateo in Justicia with sushi at its centre alongside other Japanese plates. ## The Sushi scene in Madrid Madrid's sushi scene runs from six-seat Michelin counters to good-value izakaya rooms, spread across very different neighborhoods rather than clustered in one sushi district. Toki, on Sagasta, and Sen Omakase, off Nueva España, both build a single Michelin-starred omakase around formal Japanese technique, while Ugo Chan's chef Hugo Muñoz learned his nigiri technique directly from Ricardo Sanz, whose own influence shows up again at Kyoshi Las Cortes, a more relaxed format inside a hotel in the Cortes barrio. Several kitchens fold Spanish ingredients into the menu: Ikigai's Menú Korto opens with a wonton with Russian salad and trout roe and a mock sardine and escabeche nigiri, and Tora runs a wagyu-callos ramen alongside its counter. Others keep it simpler and more affordable, like Yokaloka's Japanese tavern menu in Lavapiés or Sr. Ito's sushi-and-cocktails room in Justicia. A few, including Ebisu by Kobos and Otoro Jukusei, work a narrower, more traditional lane: single omakase menus, aged fish, and an itamae named on the menu rather than a chef's name on the door. ## Know before you go ### 1. Book the single-counter omakase rooms ahead Toki seats six, Ebisu by Kobos runs one small counter, and both serve a single set menu with no substitutions. These fill up, so book before you plan the rest of the evening around them. ### 2. Prices swing widely A tasting menu can run from roughly 69 euros at Ikigai's Menú Korto to 249 euros at Toki's Shunkan, with Otoro Jukusei's three omakase lengths priced between 80 and 190 euros. Check the current menu on each restaurant's own site before booking. ### 3. Some menus have no vegetarian option Yugo the Bunker and Toki both run fixed tasting menus with no vegetarian or vegan alternative. If that matters, check with the restaurant before you book. ### 4. Michelin and Repsol recognition is a useful filter, not the whole picture Several entries here, like Sr. Ito and Yokaloka, aren't in the Michelin Guide but show up repeatedly in editorial roundups and carry strong reputations of their own. ## Glossary - **Nigiri** — A hand-pressed oblong of vinegared rice topped with a slice of fish or other ingredient. - **Sashimi** — Sliced raw fish or seafood served without rice. - **Omakase** — A tasting format where the chef chooses the courses rather than the diner ordering from a menu. - **Itamae** — A trained sushi chef, literally 'in front of the cutting board' in Japanese. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the best sushi restaurant in Madrid? It depends on the format you want. Toki and Sen Omakase are the most exclusive Michelin-starred omakase counters, Ugo Chan and Yugo the Bunker also hold Michelin stars with a wider carta, and Otoro Jukusei is the pick for anyone chasing aged, matured fish. ### Which Madrid sushi restaurants have a Michelin star? Toki, Sen Omakase, Ugo Chan and Yugo the Bunker all hold a Michelin star for their Japanese sushi and omakase cooking. Several others, including Otoro Jukusei, Ta-kumi Madrid, Sushi Bar Hannah, Ebisu by Kobos, Tora and Shibari Sushi and Grill, carry Michelin's Selected badge without a star. ### Is there good-value sushi in Madrid? Yokaloka in Lavapiés carries a Repsol Solete and works as a casual, family-friendly option rather than a formal counter. ### What is omakase and where can I try it in Madrid? Omakase means leaving the choice of courses to the chef instead of ordering from a menu. Toki, Sen Omakase, Ebisu by Kobos, Otoro Jukusei and Zuara Sushi all run entirely on a single omakase sequence. ### Where can I find traditional Edo-style sushi in Madrid? Ebisu by Kobos, run by an itamae trained under Norihito Endo in Japan, and Sushi Bar Hannah, which works the traditional end of the sushi spectrum with fish matured in imported Japanese paper, are the two most Edo-focused counters on this list. ### Do I need to book ahead for Madrid's top sushi counters? Yes, for the single-counter omakase rooms especially. Toki seats six, and Ebisu by Kobos runs one small counter with a single set menu, so both fill quickly. ### Which Madrid sushi restaurants mix in Spanish ingredients? Ikigai's Menú Korto includes a mock sardine and escabeche nigiri, Tora runs a shio ramen made with wagyu callos a la madrileña alongside its nigiri, and Ugo Chan's carta shifts between Japanese technique and Spanish product by season. ### Is there sushi outside Salamanca and Chamberí in Madrid? Yes. Sr. Ito is in Justicia, Shibari Sushi and Grill sits near the Rastro in Embajadores, Yokaloka is in Lavapiés, and Kyoshi Las Cortes is in the Cortes barrio. ## About the author **Justin Mota** — Guidavera founder Justin Mota is the founder of Guidavera.
