Ikibana Sarrià
Japanese-Brazilian · Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Barcelona · €€€
Ikibana is a Brazilian-Japanese fusion restaurant inspired by the 1908 Kasato Maru voyage, which carried the first Japanese flavors to Brazil. Sarrià is the splashiest of three Barcelona outposts — two floors, an indoor garden, and a room that pivots into a club on weekends.
The Delekta Review
Ikibana is unambiguous about what it is — Brazilian-Japanese fusion cranked to atmosphere-first, inspired by the 1908 Kasato Maru voyage that brought Japanese flavors to Brazil — and the Sarrià location leans hardest into the brief. The menu swings wide: ceviche blanco, oysters with ají amarillo and maracuyá, presa ibérica, entrecot de Kobe, and uramakis built on passion fruit salsa and spicy mayonnaise. That last tendency is the kitchen's most divisive habit — if fusion maximalism isn't your register, the nigiri and sashimi are there as an exit ramp. Tasting menus at 38€ and 68€ make entry reasonable, but the à la carte Wagyu climbs to €48 and the bill follows. You are partly paying for the room, the staff ratio, and the event of the thing. On a birthday or post-concert night, that trade-off lands. On a quieter evening, the value math gets harder.
