Palma Guide – Best Japanese restaurants in Palma

Arume & Arume Sake Bar – where art meets flavor

Tomeu Martí’s iconic Arume on C/ San Miguel continues to wow us with its mix of creative fusion and Japanese precision. The tasting menus are ever-evolving, packed with seasonal surprises and beautiful plating. Ideal for a special dinner or a deep dive into modern Japanese cuisine with a local twist.

And if you’re in the mood for something a little more laid-back but equally impressive, check out Arume Sake Bar on Av. Argentina. A cool, casual space where you can sip sake, try small plates and enjoy a Japanese-inspired vibe that hits all the right notes.

Marui – Sushi done to perfection

Minimalist, elegant and 100% focused on quality, Marui is one of those places that quietly earns a spot at the top of every sushi lover’s list. The fish is ultra-fresh, the rice is just right, and the attention to detail makes every bite memorable. Book ahead, this one’s no longer a hidden gem.

Hanaita – The OG Japanese spot in Palma

You’ve probably heard of Hanaita, and with good reason. Tucked near the Santa Catalina market, it’s a true institution for lovers of authentic Japanese food. There are only a handful of tables, the menu is compact but on point, and the focus is all on purity, flavour, and tradition. A must if you’re after that no-frills, ultra-quality kind of sushi.

Izakaya – An authentic Japanese tavern in Palma

Now located on C/ de Monsenyor de Palmer, Izakaya has upgraded both its space and menu, while keeping the heart of a true Japanese izakaya alive. Expect warm lighting, sake on the menu, and a wide range of traditional Japanese dishes beyond sushi. Their gyozas and grilled options are addictive, and the whole experience feels like a little Tokyo escape.

Kaizen – A local favourite with flavour & flair

Kaizen has become a staple on Palma’s Japanese food scene. With a sleek interior and a menu that balances creativity and tradition, this is the perfect spot for a sushi dinner with friends or a date night. Don’t skip the rolls: they’re bold, fun, and seriously tasty. And yes, they do deliver if you feel like staying in.
