Kobuta Ramen
Ramen & Japanese Tapas · Sants, Barcelona · €€
Open since 2017
Hiro Yamane left Japan, learned ramen in China, and opened Kobuta in Sants in December 2017 — an Eixample second location followed in March 2024. Tonkotsu, miso and shoyu bowls anchor the line; wantan, gyoza, karaage, chashudon round it out.
The Delekta Review
Hiro Yamane: Japanese, learned ramen in China before relocating to Barcelona — chose a quiet Sants address (Carrer de Súria 6) on the conviction that good cooking would carry the room Eixample expansion at Gran Via 439 opened March 2024 — larger room, slightly different menu including a wantanmen exclusive to that location
Ramen-bar register with a small Japanese-tapas line beside it — bowls are the core, sides keep the table moving
Tonkotsu (the long-simmered pork-bone broth that gives the kitchen its name); miso ramen; shoyu ramen; wantanmen (Eixample-only) Wantan with leek and sesame; gyoza; chicken karaage; chashudon (rice bowl with braised chashu)
Compact ramen bar in Sants — straightforward: a counter, a kitchen, and no fuss.
Sants original runs walk-in with a queue; Eixample takes reservations and is the easier weekend bet
