Yoi Yoi Gion Kyoto 宵宵祇園@Barcelona ★★★

Traditional Japanese Comfort Food in Barcelona. Recommended by my Japanese friend, Shota-san. Chef Ishizuka-san used to be a professional soccer player in Japan. The Captain Tsubasa anime drawings on the wall gave it away. Everything was delicious. Kakiage (Deep-Fried Vegetables with Shrimp) is a must-try add-on. It reminds me of Rengoku from Demon Slayer. Onsen Tamago is perfectly made. Cozy atmosphere. Canned cold Japanese Green Tea 3.00€‎. It's amazing how the Beer is cheaper than Green Tea.
