Very good quality food. Best of all, was the service. They really took care of us. From the seating arrangement, to being able to order off the menu dishes, to the extra plates just because we mentioned we would share some of the dishes. Definitely a hidden gem. Will be going again for sure.

Homemade japanese food. They have a really good "menu del día" where you can try 3 dishes + desert for 13 euros, including a drink. Everything was tasty

From the moment you step inside, the warmth of attentive service sets the tone for an authentic dining experience. The restaurant shines with its commitment to quality, especially evident in the freshest cuts of fish that elevate classic dishes to new heights.

One of Hiraya's standout features is its well-curated "menu del día," offering a balanced trio of dishes accompanied by a dessert and drink for an exceptional price. This menu exemplifies their dedication to delivering homemade flavors that satisfy both the palate and the wallet. Dishes like the unagi-don are repeatedly praised for their rich, savory depth and are a must-try for any visitor.

The portions here strike a thoughtful balance; while not overwhelmingly large, they encourage sharing and savoring multiple plates, which adds a communal aspect to the meal.

Overall, Hiraya offers more than just Japanese cuisine—it presents a genuine food experience characterized by fresh ingredients, warm hospitality, and inviting ambiance. For fans of traditional Japanese flavors served with a modern Barcelona touch, Hiraya is a destination worth returning to again and again.
