Visited at night. The place is located along Hachiman-dori, stretching from near Daikanyama Station towards Shibuya Station. Near the "Sarugaku Elementary School Back" intersection, this restaurant is officially recognized by the Spanish government and has been selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand award for 8 consecutive years. Despite this, the prices seem reasonable, so I decided to check it out. Government-certified restaurants always seem to have good value for money, don't they? Upon entering the restaurant, I found that every seat was full and the place was bustling with energy. It is a highly popular restaurant, so I think reservations are a must. I ordered the Saruiamoru course for 6,600 yen, and here are my thoughts on the dishes that were served: 1. Mushroom soup: incredibly rich and delicious! The flavor is amazing and it pairs perfectly with the bread. I could eat this endlessly. 2. Assorted appetizers: a platter of four appetizers including prosciutto, salami, Iberico pork rillettes, and potato omelette. Each item was flavorful and well-prepared, making them all delicious and perfect for accompanying drinks. 3. Yellowtail and grilled paprika (today's cold dish): The yellowtail was thick and fatty, complemented by anchovy and olive oil with a hint of saltiness. The sweet paprika added complexity to the dish, creating a delicious balance. 4. Stuffed piquillo peppers: a signature dish of the restaurant featuring white fish and shrimp surimi, white sauce, and Spanish piquillo peppers. The creamy filling inside the peppers was reminiscent of croquettes, and the balance of flavors was exceptional. 5. Shrimp caldero: a rice dish similar to a risotto cooked in an iron pot. The rice was packed with the umami of small shrimp, and the garlic aioli sauce added a punchy flavor that was incredibly tasty. A must-try for risotto lovers. 6. Spare rib clay pot paella: a rice dish with spare ribs cooked in a clay pot. The dish had a strong garlic flavor and a rich meaty broth, but I was already full from the previous rice dish. 7. Chestnut ice cream and almond cake: The ice cream was rich and creamy, almost like a Mont Blanc, while the almond cake had a spicy kick that made it incredibly delicious. Overall, the cost-performance ratio of the restaurant was astonishing, with a wine and cover charge included for less than 7,000 yen. The dishes were all authentic and delicious, with a perfect balance of ingredients and flavors. I believe that everything on the menu at this restaurant would be delicious. It was one of the best Spanish restaurants I've tried in Tokyo, offering authentic cuisine at a reasonable price. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality Spanish cuisine in Tokyo.

When the owner received a dinner invitation on a late night after work, they decided to head to Daikanyama for a change. They walked from Shibuya Station to Daikanyama as it seemed like a manageable distance, enjoying the slightly cooler evening. Along the way, they encountered temporary paths due to construction in Shibuya, but managed to cool off at a convenience store before finally reaching the restaurant. This was their third visit to this Spanish restaurant, and they have always been satisfied with the food. This time, they went with a group of four, including a child, and ordered a la carte dishes. They left the ordering to someone who frequents the restaurant, so they were a bit vague on the dish names, but it included olive and green chili vinegar pickles, white fish and shrimp stuffed peppers, mixed salad, squid ink stew, roasted fish and shrimp, seafood paella, and bread. They all shared and enjoyed the dishes together. The owner particularly enjoys Spanish cuisine and has been to various restaurants, but this one is their favorite. They especially like the squid ink dish and the generous filling in the paella. The meal passed quickly in the company of such enjoyable companions, and they hurried home to their hungry dog, Bell. They look forward to returning to the restaurant with their friends again.

I visited for lunch. I knew that the chef who used to work at the Spanish-era Silk Road in Otemachi had moved here, but I finally got a chance to go. I ordered the special course and added the paella. The watermelon gazpacho, assorted appetizers, white fish and shrimp stuffed in piquillo peppers, main dish Iberico pork, and paella were all truly amazing! Especially the Iberico pork for the main dish was the best I've ever had! Well, I finally made it there, but it's truly a top-notch restaurant. I definitely need to go back again. Thank you for the wonderful meal! Everyone should definitely go try it out.

The paella was delicious. I have eaten it in Valencia, the home of paella, and even worked at a Spanish restaurant during my student days. Lately, there are many Spanish restaurants opening in Tokyo, but this one was exceptional. The perfect balance between the crispy bottom and the moist rice on top left a lasting impression.

The restaurant is a bit far from the station, but it is located along a main street and easy to find. I visited for lunch on a Saturday, and the place was packed! Reservations are a must 😊 I ordered the Short Lunch, and the portion was more than enough! First, they served a watermelon gazpacho. This might be a hit or miss for some people, but I prefer regular soup haha. Then came the classic Spanish appetizer platter, perfect with a drink! Next was the squid ink stew, a must-try for squid ink lovers and goes well with red wine. After that, it was paella time! The portion was generous even for two people, and the flavor was excellent. It truly felt like dining at a high-rated Michelin restaurant. I couldn't finish everything due to the summer heat, but I definitely want to try the squid ink paella next time. I would love to go back again! However, the small size of the restaurant might be a consideration depending on the occasion. It's great for hanging out with friends, but not ideal for a quiet dinner or a business meeting as it can get quite noisy haha.

A traditional Spanish restaurant where you can enjoy a paella cooked in a rich broth. The gazpacho is made with watermelon. Try the slow-cooked mackerel and squid ink stew, as well as the creamy white fish. Another specialty is the Piquillo pepper wrapped in a terrine-like dish with sauce. Everything is based on seafood broth. The paella and caldo are made with shrimp. The flavors are intense and delicious! The main dishes have smaller portions, but the appetizers are generous. The non-alcoholic beer was surprisingly tasty. The interior of the restaurant has a European feel, with cozy seating at the counter. Even though you can't see the kitchen, the counter seating here is really nice.

It was great to visit smoothly for the first time! Air conditioning is essential on such hot days! The staff at the shop were very kind and lovely. The atmosphere inside the store was lively, and the interior was Spanish-style, making me feel like I was on a journey! The food was delicious, especially the Iberico pork pluma teppanyaki, which paired perfectly with the fig jam. I would love to go back and eat it again!

Reservation for seats only, not courses. The shrimp ajillo had excellent sauce and the bread was good. However, the paella was too salty and disappointing. Overall, the flavors were too strong, maybe the course would have been better in terms of cost performance.

Hot summer, flowing sweat, craving for beer and salt, imagine Andalusia's passion. From Shibuya to Hachiman Kaido, climbing up the hill, descending the narrow stairs, you will find yourself in a Spanish dining room adorned with tiles and antique furnishings that evoke the local atmosphere. Cheers with Spanish beer! The lightness makes the sweat quickly disappear. Today's special course for 8,250 yen includes: Pejota raw ham, sausage, quiche platter, gazpacho, lemon bonito, stuffed piquillo peppers, Iberico pork teppanyaki Costa Brava style, seafood paella, almond cake with olive oil ice cream. I was very satisfied. Each dish in the course was substantial and rich, with endless bread and drinks. I started to worry halfway through, "Will the paella come last? Can I finish it?" But the price was truly surprising for the quality and quantity. It was a fulfilling time with Sal y Amor (salt and love) truly living up to its name.

I made a course reservation for lunch and visited this restaurant. The restaurant has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, so my expectations were high, and the food did not disappoint. The paella was especially delicious! Thank you for the meal.

A Spanish restaurant in Daikanyama. I made a reservation and visited after work. Going down the stairs and entering the restaurant, the space is narrow and the seats are packed. It was 7 pm on a weekday, and the restaurant was full. First, I toasted with Spanish beer. The taste was light, but the bottle was cute and it made me happy. I asked about the food that comes out quickly and ordered a platter of salami. They recommended a platter of 3 kinds and 5 kinds, but with this amount, there was no way I could handle 5 kinds. The salami from various parts was a great accompaniment to the drinks. Next, I ordered appetizers. Gazpacho: a classic, refreshing, and delicious. Lemon marinated bonito: bonito with marinade, also refreshing and delicious. Vinaigrette of mussels: normal, paired with wine. Angel prawn ajillo: incredibly delicious. Baguette goes well with it. Fried conger eel: maybe a bit too much frying. And of course, the finale was seafood paella: undoubtedly delicious. A must-eat dish. We even had dessert, and the bill came out to 14,000 yen per person. We ate too much. The service wasn't the best, but the food was delicious. The location in Daikanyama is great, and it's a good place to have a lively time with friends. Thank you for the meal.

Finally found a place in Japan where you can enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine (by a half-Catalan man) ◎ It's great that you can eat rabbit ◎ There are plenty of Catalan dishes and they are wonderful ◎ Valencia paella ◎ Menu balance ◎ Wide selection of wines ◎ The cured ham was a bit crumbly, probably due to Japan's humidity ◯ Comfortable atmosphere that can be used for dates or hanging out with friends in various scenes ◎ Reservations are a must

This restaurant is so good that I feel like visiting again just to have their paella! The first time I went, I had the dinner course and was so impressed, even though I got a little drunk on wine. The paella was amazing, but everything else on the menu was delicious too. I will definitely be back for dinner again soon!

I've never had such a delicious paella before. It's truly amazing how skilled this Spanish rice dish specialty shop is, being awarded the Bib Gourmand for 8 consecutive years. The Iberico pork ham, Iberico pork teppanyaki, gazpacho, fried conger eel, and bonito pudding were all delicious. #Spanish cuisine #paella #Daikanyama #Daikanyama gourmet #Tabelog top 100 restaurants #Tabelog high rating #food #foodie #delish #spanishfood #delicious restaurant #bibgourmand #michelin

I visited on a Saturday night. I ordered a platter of Iberico ham, sheep milk cheese, and tuna ham, as well as marinated young ayu fish, stuffed piquillo peppers, oven-baked rabbit, and squid ink paella (menu names are approximate). Everything was delicious, not a single item was disappointing. The wines were full-bodied and flavorful, making it enjoyable to compare different varieties. The Tocino del Cielo dessert I ordered at the end was rich and custardy, absolutely delicious. I will definitely go back again.

Today, we had a celebratory meal for my second daughter's birthday, and the chosen location was this Spanish restaurant in Daikanyama. Spanish cuisine is very familiar to me among various European cuisines because I started playing classical guitar in my first year of high school, and when it comes to classical guitar, Spain is the home country. Therefore, I have had the opportunity to visit Spanish restaurants since high school, and even after that, there were many occasions where guitar-related social gatherings were held at Spanish restaurants, so they have become quite familiar to me. I started using Tabelog when I returned to Tokyo after finishing my solo assignment in Obihiro, and the trigger was uploading the restaurants I used in Obihiro, but during my time in Obihiro, I spent my days immersed in playing the guitar, and I also visited a Spanish bar, which was a rarity in Obihiro (Bar Catalonia). That restaurant opened while I was living in Obihiro, and it seems to be still thriving, which makes me happy. On the other hand, the recent trend in our family has been to dine at restaurants in more minor cuisine genres, rather than the more common foreign cuisine genres like French, Italian, and Chinese, for birthday celebrations and other occasions. Recent examples include my birthday celebration at a Portuguese restaurant in Shibuya called Manuel Cozinha Portuguesa, my eldest daughter's birthday celebration at a Turkish restaurant in Akasaka called Saray Akasaka, and a Golden Week meal at a Greek restaurant in Yokohama called Sparta. Our restaurant opened in September 2012. The official name is Arroceria Sal y Amor. Arroceria is a Spanish word that refers to a restaurant that serves rice dishes, similar to terms like Spaghetteria, Pizzeria, and Osteria in Italian. Sal y Amor means "salt and love," symbolizing the two most important "seasonings" for cooking. Although it has been in business for over 10 years, it has become a well-established restaurant in this area, and it has been selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand from 2016 to 2023 for eight consecutive years. The restaurant is located along Yawata Street in Daikanyama. You can find it by heading towards Namiyokebashi in Shibuya from around Daikanyama Station and going underground in the building on the right (Third Yokoshiba Building) after Seven-Eleven Shibuya Daikanyama. We arrived for our 12 o'clock reservation and ordered the Special Lunch Course (9 dishes) for ¥5,280 (tax included). We started with an aperitif, which was a platter of Iberico sausage stuffed with various ingredients. The sausage was exquisite, and the accompanying Manchego cheese and potato omelette were delicious, making it an excellent appetizer. The soup that followed was Gazpacho Andaluz, a cold tomato soup with a refreshing flavor that balanced well with the appetizer. Bread was served, and the meal continued with a warm dish, which was a stew of red peppers stuffed with white fish and shrimp. The dish was packed with the umami of seafood and was very tasty. The timing of the dish service up to this point was just right. The main meat dish was a teppanyaki of Iberico pork presa. Presa is a part of the shoulder loin called "top loin," known for its exquisite marbled texture, tenderness, and absence of any unpleasant odor, making it very delicious. The accompanying vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, radishes, and baby corn had their own slight bitterness and sweetness that complemented the flavor of the Iberico pork. In addition to meat dishes, the restaurant also serves rice dishes as the main course, su

I made a same-day reservation and ordered the short lunch set. Appetizer plate... everything was delicious, but the croquette was especially tasty. The meat was also good. Tomato soup was good. Stew dish... the chorizo and meat were excellent. Mixed paella... you can choose from 10 different types. This time, I ordered the classic paella. The creme brulee was also good. The atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious. The portion size is quite large. The short lunch set costs 3500 yen plus tax, but it's quite filling. All the dishes were delicious, so the paella may have seemed a bit lacking in comparison.

Today, I was in the mood for Spanish cuisine and visited the famous Spanish restaurant, Sal y Amor, in Daikanyama. I had the following dishes: goat cheese and sardine ajo blanco, rabbit oven-baked with alioli sauce, seafood paella. The goat cheese had a rich flavor without being too overpowering. The rabbit was firm yet tender, and paired perfectly with the alioli sauce. The paella was delicious, with the seafood flavors infused into the rice. I also enjoyed a glass of Cava, a glass of red wine, and a bottle of white wine (Rias Baixas Albarino). The white wine had flavors of white peach and honey, with a hint of acidity. Overall, it was quite delicious.

This was my second time visiting, but the deliciousness makes me want to go back many more times. Despite being a Michelin-listed restaurant, the casual and homely atmosphere is great, and above all, all the dishes were delicious. The portions were generous, so much so that I couldn't finish it all. I will definitely go again!

The food is delicious no matter what you order. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommended for dates or girls' night out. It's hard to find such delicious Spanish cuisine at this price. The Sangria is delicious with a refreshing sweetness. When you order cider, the staff always pours it stylishly. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I made a reservation for lunch on Sunday. Since I only had 1.5 hours until my next appointment, I ordered the short lunch course, which was very satisfying in terms of taste and portion. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff's service were also very pleasant.
