Awards: Michelin Selection

Open since 2021

Ryuta and Aya Sato's six-seat omakase counter in Putxet i Farró (Sarrià-Sant Gervasi), opened 2021 — Edomae sushi technique laid over Catalan product: gamba roja from Palamós dressed with head-juice and shell powder, calçots in tempura, miso ice cream to finish.

The Delekta Review

Single seasonal omakase only — counter-side service over roughly two and a half hours; no à la carte, no rolls-and-maki menu, no takeout Around twenty courses alternate otsumami and nigiri — Edomae technique built on Catalan product (gamba roja, calçots, cockle, dorada) under Ryuta's hand at the counter Menu around €95 (2026 Guía Repsol price); seasonal-product surcharges push the bill to €120–€150 before drinks at top of season

Red shrimp nigiri from Palamós, glazed with reduced head juice and dusted with toasted shell powder O-toro zuke — marinated tuna belly served with cured egg yolk, soy and black truffle, sometimes as a gunkan Cockle-broth jelly, clear and concentrated, set over fresh cockle with tomato and asparagus Calçots in tempura — local product passed through a Japanese frame, Aya's hot-side handiwork Ikura gunkan, maguro zuke nigiri, and unagi nigiri flambéed at the counter — the Edomae spine of the menu Miso ice cream to finish — Aya's pastry call, often paired with matcha truffle or a crunchy element

Ryuta Sato trained on the sushi counter in Tokyo, then spent fourteen years in Catalonia at Nomo, Sakura-ya, Aiueno and Sato i Tanaka — the last in collaboration with the Can Kenji crew — before opening Sensato in 2021 Aya Sato is co-owner and chef of the hot dishes and pastry — the half of the menu that bridges the sushi spine with the Catalan-product detours

Six-seat wooden counter only — no tables; a minimalist room designed by Kobfuji Architects with a Catalan-vault detail by Tatsuhei Taniguchi, deliberately quiet for watching hands work Service register is library-quiet — the chef's call carries every bite, narration is minimal
