Description: Su nombre se traduce como "Intenso aroma de temporada" y trae a colación algo más que una filosofía de trabajo; no en vano, estamos ante un restaurante japonés que, adaptado a los gustos estéticos actuales, muestra su fidelidad a la cultura gastronómica de aquel país y ve el oficio de cocinero como un arte. ¡Algunos platos pueden llegar a emocionar! El local, que sorprende con una imponente barra de madera desde la que se ve todo el servicio de cocina, se adecúa a las características de un marco contemporáneo, ofreciendo también mesas convencionales por si deseas tener una comida más íntima. La propuesta del chef Hideki Matsuhisa concilia las técnicas niponas con el producto mediterráneo, siempre en base a maridajes sumamente meditados y algún que otro guiño a la creatividad. ¿Un plato de nota? Su sabrosísimo Tataki de Wagyu A5, con soja caramelizada, arroz meloso de colmenillas, grasa de Wagyu y jugo de ternera.

I went to Koy Shunka with high expectations. We didn't want to eat the big tasting menu and decided to go for the a la carte menu. The menu was explained very well by our waiter and he helped us making a selection, witch was very good. Here I can highlight the scallop and red prawns in tempura witch was the best dish by far during our dinner experience.

Although the wine list was a small and a bit expensive.

We had an wonderful evening and I will come back for sure!!

One of the best meals I've ever had and the highlight of my trip to Barcelona. Definitely make sure to sit at the bar. It's incredible watching all the work that goes into every dish. The chefs who prepare your dishes also present them to you and describe the dishes.

Everything was really delicious and original. Just a great experience overall.

Our expectations were high but unfortunately the restaurant couldn't fulfill them. The ingredients are very fresh, the service is good, the open kitchen a surplus but we personally didn't find it as good as described. Price is also too high for the experience offered.
